Congrats! Did you just get this?

I see you've accepted the idea of bezel misalignment.
lol not mine, HENG AH
Seriously leh, no one even knows these models existed
Yes, I can see the misalignment. The design look kinda weird tbh, maybe it will look good in person, that is if they still have this in stock in the seiko shop, apparently only 1965 of them were ever produced

I literally just discovered this watch and also the SRPG09J1 :

TT_032_GRANDSEIKO_PRESAGE_COLLECTION.00_02_30_13.Still007.jpeg

This one looks much better than the SPB131, but..... Hardlex and also only 4R35

personally, I wish the SRPG09J1 and the SPB137 can make a baby together
design (colour, see-through case back, and the signed "Seiko" logo crown), case thickness and look of the SRPG09J1 with the movement of the SPB137 (6R35) and its hardened scratch-resistant metal coating

Yeah the Seiko catalogue is huge, there are many models for different markets and so a lot of unheard of models. Maybe there is one, just undiscovered.

Any recommendations?

just trying to see what type of watches i can milk at $1400
I think most 2nd hand dealer will only deal with more expensive watch price point, like omega, rolex, and tudor (3-4k above). Simply because they want to earn more profit.

You can get the second hand watch from carousell. I know you will feel worry to get 2nd hand item through carousell.
I'm not so worry to get a replica watch for seiko (except their super popular series like skx). It is not feasible for the replica maker to make replica watch if the demand is not there.

2nd hand dealers generally carry high demand watches, you will see mostly Rolexes, APs, etc.

Seiko does not have that kind of value retention, a $1400 Seiko could be worth $300 to another Seiko fan, but $20 to the general public.

Seiko is one of those watches if you left on the table at the coffeeshop, it'll probably still be there when you come back looking for it.

I know seiko is worthless after sale
That is pretty clear to me

I’m asking cause :

(Sort by price low to high)

https://www.watchfinder.co.uk/watches/between/1000/and/5000?&orderby=PriceLowToHigh
But this is a UK site. Not sure if they ship to Singapore
I have been following their channel for years, they are legitimate,
watches they sell have 2 years warranty by them

Longines at SGD1825

Oh my bad, I misunderstood as you seemed fixated on getting a Seiko.

If you're ok to explore other brands, no harm walking around some pawn shops or dealers to see what you find. I think in general local e-commerce is a little behind other international chains and would not have complete inventories online.
