Before getting my very first Seiko watch, i used to get Casio watches and Samsung smart watches. So when I was in Hokkaido, Japan for a 2 weeks trip during September 2019, I bought my first Seiko watch in a BIC Camera in Sapporo. Although I did not own one for many years, I had done some minor research on getting their JDM watches in Japan. I remembered spending at least one hour to look through their entire collections which they really showcased so many different models in their store. So i eventually chose Seiko Air Diver JDM [SBDJ017J] which is retailed at 38,795 yen. However, they had a 25% discount and provided my passport for a tax-free transaction. During 2019, the exchange rate was SGD$1 to 80 yen. When I asked the Japanese salesman, whether this is made in japan? He proudly mentioned that this is made in japan and kept saying Japanese products were made with high precision and had the best QC in place. In my heart, I had never doubt japanese workmanship in watch making. 😀 Till today, despite knocks and bumps, my Seiko Solar is still surviving strong ! With this, it is time for me to hunt for my next Seiko watch in SG. Will be aiming for an Limited Edition one this time. Stay Tuned ! 😂
