Hi guys, new to watches!
Planning to get a srp639 baby tuna. Only question is, at the seiko boutique its $5xx and on skywatches its $3xx. Why the huge difference in price?
I plan to get the one on skywatches due to the price. Anyone purchased from skywatches before via delivery? Does watch come in good condition?
TIA
if you stay in sg, just go to their shop at people's park complex after work or on your off days. beats having to waste time to wait at home and then either delivery never come/come only when you're not in.
skywatches/watch fashion is a parallel importer. that's why they can offer lower prices. and that's also why they refuse to issue gurantee card for local buyers and only offer "shop warranty" cos even if they issue it, their guarantee card will not be honored by thong sia.
their only competitive edge is their pricing cos they tend to use high pressure sales tactic which i hate. but if you've already researched what you want to bits and is a price-sensitive shopper, by all means. oh, but be aware that they will tag on a 7% gst to their online price.
the advantages of buying from a seiko AD (avoid their boutiques lah - lousy discount!) are:
1. you get a roman numeral secondary day wheel (instead of some foreign language - worse is arabic if yours is a made-in-japan parallel import set).
2. you get warranty by thong sia.
3. you get a better, more subtantial watch box.
