actually, i was in your shoes about 1 week ago..
I bought my Turtle.. and then I wanted to get a sumo, but budget wise cannot luh, so sold off my SKX007 and then hooted a sumo :s13:
and and up till now, NO REGRETS hahaha both watches are real beauty! :s12:
but the skx007 is an iconic watch - even though it has the unwindable & unhackable 7s26 movement. waiting very impatiently for Seiko to change it to the windable & hackable 4r36 movement! for crying out loud, even the lower tier Seiko 5 series are already equipped with the 4r36 !@#$%^&*()_+ :(

any bro got the eterna-matic kontiki super chronograph yet?

quite drawn to it, with the brand's storied history (where ETA got its roots, but eterna has been bought by china company), its in-house movement, 65 hrs power reserve, automatic column-wheel FLYBACK chrono, 2 register panda dial, 200m depth rating, etc... but 16 mm height?!!! :eek:

where did you get yours & what's the damage after discount (in sg?). extensive review w/ pics appreciated! :D

ps does the bezel have lume? can't tell from avail pics and youtube vids...

guys just to check...if i bring a watch to Rolex for verification..

its SGD107 + verbal verification right? how long will the process take ah?

cannot seem to find official price..so only got this from a 2011 thread http://www.sgrolexclub.com/archive/index.php/t-57117.html

Yes, its still $100 + 7% GST. Time taken really depends on the queue and its quite hard to predict. Probably need to take half day off. Think GX went there recently, can check with him how long it took.

KB is one of the known ones, but i nvr dealt with them before so cant rlly say more

$107 confirm. Verification best is go morning about 11am. Maybe after lunch around 4pm can get back.
Verbal verification + a receipt that shows its done with the watch serial number.

As legit as they can get.
