Seiko SARB033 review

The Seiko SARB033 is the perfect watch to be given the nickname as the poor man's Seiko. Priced at about 300+SGD(if bought in japan), it is undeniably one of the essential dress watches under 500 dollars.


Seiko ICE MONSTER SRP481 review

If you know Seiko, you probably would have heard of the Seiko Monster.

Easily recognizable by its arrowhead hour hand and its sword-like minute hand,the Seiko monster is swooned by many Seiko fans.

The Seiko Ice monster is no exception. Retaining what we love about the normal monster, it has a nice little twist to it. 

SEIKO PADI is almost here!

If you love vintage Seiko dive watches with the cushion/ turtle case and you are planning to get one in 2016, Hold your horses.

You are about to be mesmerized by one of the best reissue of the 6309 Seiko has done in my opinion.


Seiko 6105 Waffle Strap Search (Captain Willard in the making)

It struck me that the Seiko 6105-8110 will never to complete without the vintage waffle strap from Seiko, the ZLM01.

An actual ZLM01 is actually very rare and there is currently one on ebay for $999.95USD in the following link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ZLM01-Genuine-Origl-Waffle-Strap-Seiko-Divers-6105-6217-mas-Only-1-n-World-/171735781191?hash=item27fc400f47

That's a ridiculous price to pay for just a rubber strap. Not only that, the original vintage strap is more susceptible to cracking due to age.

Seiko's Ultimate diver, SLD005P


Overwhelmed by its sheer weight and size, the Seiko SLD005p takes the crown for the largest watch I've ever put on my wrist till date. It measures up to a whopping 52mm. The fact that little people knows about this amazing diver shows that Seiko has a great multitude of amazing wrist watches to offer yet to be discovered by the general public of watch fanatics.

Seiko's last Samurai!



Discontinued since 2008, the samurai has been around for 11 years. This iconic watch that captivated the hearts of many Seiko fans comes in many different versions. But, I will be focusing on the black titanium version in this post.

The Samurai got its nickname from it's sword-like hands. One of the most attractive hands on a dial in my opinion. However, I feel that its nickname fits the its clean and sleek look as well.

Although titanium scratches easily, scratches can be removed easily. What is so unique about titanium is that a layer of titanium oxide grows over a period of time that darkens the watch. This really gives this watch character and if you don't desire the dark titanium, you can easily remove the titanium oxide as well.

The darken titanium coupled with the scratches can really give this piece a lot of character to make it something that is uniquely yours.

Weighing 117 grams, this elegant piece feels almost non existent on your wrist. Probably the reason why I will choose this over the stainless steel version because it's just too comfortable.

The watch wears pretty small despite measuring up to 42mm. It's probably because of its iconic angular lugs that does a seamless transition from the watch to the bracelet.

The samurai that previously costs about 200-300SGD will now cost you about 700-900 on eBay depending on the condition. Not the best watch to start with if you just started collecting because you're paying a lot for a 7s25 movement.

However, it's a great collectors item and you're probably sitting on a gold mine if you own one. The price of this timeless beauty will probably appreciate as it gets more and more rare.

If you're truly a collector, don't waste another second and get your hands on this magnificent piece right now.
