Watches IV

[serenade]

I'm  actually wearing the BB58 on a Dievas NATO (ballistic nylon i should think).

It's actually very comfortable, but the BB58 is much lower profile, smaller and thinner so it doesn't have this sense of imbalance like I got with the EMII.

The EMII NATO is some fancy french flag weave of some kind. I find it more comfortable on the original rubber strap. Maybe because it's thick and balances out the watch.

 

There's a SEIKO boutique in VivoCity, they have some GS there, I also recall seeing a store carrying GS in JEM or the mall next to it. They had some Springdrives, but I dunno about the 36k vph Peacock, that model might be harder to find.

 

Thanks for the tips. I have gone to the Vivo City boutique run by City Chain. Limited models. The boutique at JEM also run by City Chain. Are there any other Grand Seiko shops recommendations either in Singapore or Malaysia?

According to the Grand Seiko website, those are the only two official dealers for Singapore, though it also shows World of Watches in Wisma Atria. Perhaps you can check there.

 

 

For Malaysia, perhaps it's easier to link you the list from the GS web itself;

There's just one in JB, for the rest you must go further up. The GS dealer network is undoubtedly one of the smaller ones for the luxury brands since most of the mainstream luxury watch retailers do not carry them as they are largely focused on European watches (e.g. Hourglass and Sincere here).

 

Don't take my word for it but I recall there might be some small size non-chain retailers like those in Lucky Plaza or Peninsula Plaza that might have some GS. I doubt you'd want to go to anywhere but official dealers for a GS though.

If you think the Rolex wait is bad, try the Nautilus.

I never believe in waiting.

Does this means 5711 / 5712 now waiting time is shorter?

Not too sure bro, I got mine a while back..

 

My guess is they are much harder to get now. You would probably need a very strong relationship to get them also.

 

Otherwise, wait for the economy to tank, where you can get them at better price..

Yes thats true. You can see many on display.

No la this is a spoof.

 

Those words were added by someone else. It's not in the original ad.

I'm aware, but I still had to ask since it doesn't sound like something completely unbelieveable

Yes thats true. You can see many on display.

 

All the dealers, walk in, see 25 variations of standard OP/Daydate/Datejust but zero sport models
