I am new at buying watches outside of the United States.
Do you have any suggestions on best places to buy? What I need to be careful with etc.
Thanks so much for your thoughts.

Hello Michael,
First you should know exactly what model you want. This part is going to be hard, since you can’t touch, nor see that actual product. Once the item/items are shipped to you, its gonna be tough/costly returning it. If you know exactly what model you want, I can hook you up with some reputable dealers in Japan.
Cheers

Hi. Recently bought a Seiko SNA141 titanium chronograph alarm with green dial and nylon strap. I haven’t seen much online about this series (which evidently includes the SNN083, SND099, SNA107, etc.). Can you tell me anything more, like where they were originally sold?
wristwatch said
Hi Chad,
I’ll do a little research and post a pictures and specifications of those models that you requested. It should be up within the week.

I am intrested in Rolex Airking oyster perpetual in steel with white dial and domed bazel. Could you give me more information on this particular model and list of authorized dealers in India. Would it be cheaper if I buy it directly from the company showroom in Switzerland. Please advice me accordingly.

Wristwatch:
Do you have any thoughts regarding the Invicta.
I am interested in the new 4464 or 4476
Thank you
wristwatch said
Hi Michael, personally I would go for the 4464, mainly because its COSC. I guess the 4464 would be on par with the other luxury brands’ diver’s models. Both models look equally great, and there seems to be a growing following for Invicta watches, so I don’t think you could go wrong with any of the two. Another thing, if you plan to go swimming a lot with your watch, I don’t think the black ionic plating could take a beating, it might fade after a while.

Hi Wristwatch,
Are you planning on adding the Oceanus OCW-M800 watch model to your site? It looks like an interesting watch. Thanks!

I second the request for addition of the Oceanus OCW-M800 .
I’d be particularly interested in a translation of the description of how its countdown feature functions. Seems fairly unique for a sub-$1,000 analog watch.

I am looking for Seiko Kinetic, titanium case with sapphire glass (preferably dual tone case and bracelet – gold and titanium).
I can’t find something similar in USA Seiko’s website so I guess it is a Japan domestic market (and Europe?) model. Where can I find more information and a reputable dealer from where to buy it?
To my surprise I found something that looks like counterfeit Seiko watches ! (a place in Pakistan selling Seiko in “titanium” and with “sapphire” glass for 45-50$ (minimum 5 pieces). For this price I think it has to be a forgery.
Thank you in advance for your help it will be kindly appreciated.
Oceanus said
Thanks Wristwatch, I appreciate it. Hope you’re having a good trip.
wristwatch said
Hello Voicu, do you mean, you’re looking for a model thats Titanium, two toned and with sapphire glass?
Voicu said
Yes sir that’s right. In 2000 I got a Citizen Eco-drive, titanium two tone , caliber A160 but with mineral glass (and I managed to scratch it).
!
Unfortunately Citizen has no dual tone (in titanium) anymore (or I can’t find any).
So I started looking at Seiko’s line and there are some models that have on the dial written Sapphire Kinetic Titanium (SKA335?). My problem is that I can’t find them on the US market. Also the quality of descriptions that I can find on ebay or various sites varies widely.
Seiko also has a line that has “Kinetic Titanium” on the dial (SKA214 ?) but I think that is mineral glass not sapphire in these models.
I really like titanium watches, the “maintenance-free” part of Eco-drive, Kinetic or solar cell, the fact the is harder to scratch sapphire…and if it is two-toned it is like the cherry on top of the cake
Any help/info would be kindly appreciated!
Voicu said
It looks that I was wrong! Citizen has dual tone titanium? In their Exceed line? I only find pages in Japanese so I can’t figure it out if they are titanium or stainless steel.
Ber10 said
Can someone tell me were I can buy the Citizen i:virt? I went to several shops in Amsterdam (The Netherlands) but nobody seems to know this model. An internetshop is ok. Some advice would be very much appreciated certainly by my husband for whom I would like to buy the watch as a X-mas present.

Hi people, I was lucky enough to find the Citizen Blue Angels SkyHawk Eco drive watch at a pawn shop for $60.05 US Dollars. Unfortionately the watch did not come with an instruction manual. Any chance you can post a link to an online manual so I can learn how to set this beautiful watch?

Looking for an EBEL perpetual chronograph with matching YG bracelet as available circa 80’s or newer. Had three at one time. Would like to begin wearing one if it can be found. A nice alternative to common Rolex’s.

funkey said
i’m just wondering where these coating specs informations came from such IP, PVD, DLC (i own a 2832) or Carbide. I had never seen this specs mentioned on any watch user guide and specs that claims they are.
If this coating specs are really true, why do watch manufacturers wont include it on specs sheet.
Or can anyone tell me where to look for it?
kingracer said
Does anyone know where I can find an Oceanus dealer in the Chicago area? The Oceanus website didn’t help me — one dealer (Abt) no longer sells them and the other (Laura Loyd) only had 2 models in stock.
I’ve already done my homework online, and I’m on the verge of buying the m800. I only wish I could try it on my wrist and compare other models before sinking the cash.
Many thanks
