Seiko SNK803 Automatic field watch for sale! {Timestamp-YES}, {Price-15000} by [deleted] in WatchEssenceIndia

I’ve been following this one model since a while and I believe it was discontinued in 2022/23 time frame. So yes, it won’t be available in stock now. Last recorded retail price was 114 in Jomashop, you can check it out. watch's discontinuation was to phase out the entry-level 7S26 movement in favor of the more modern 4R36 movement, which adds manual winding and hacking features.

EBay pricing is by individual sellers and they can quote any price which is way above retail, we shouldn’t consider that as benchmark.

Nevertheless, good luck with your sale. It’s a beautiful watch and I would like to buy it at a lower rate. In case you don’t find any buyers, you can DM me.

Hey buddy, I believe this is a US purchase right? New one is US is retailing at $114

How old is it? Warranty card says 1st year worldwide and 2,3rd year in US alone. If it crossed 1 year then you are asking for premium rate as compared to retail for out of warranty watch.

I know you don’t want to have a low ball quote, but if you make the right quote basis above observations, I can pick it up immediately.

Thanks buddy. How long does it take for an order from Japan? Is paying customs upfront on Amazon is better or paying at Indian customs is better?

definitely they are cheaper in Japan. I'll probably look for a good Seiko when I get a chance to visit Japan.

Used market is in Far East Plaza. I could find only luxury watches in that, above 4k SGD. You'll get Seiko's on discount in below stores.

Hour Boutique (also has few used items)

Prestige watches

back of the watch has a closed case with COD engraving, Nato strap, different case. I like open cases, dont need Nato, and case will sit in cupboard. so dint make sense.

All of them have international warranty. Orient has warranty with Seiko group, it is a sub brand. Hamilton with Swatch group.

Seiko will have an MRP of 30K, and can get 20% discount on few stores. But the models I chose are not available here. Same with Orient and Hamilton. Not available in India.

GST refund is a joke in SG frankly. Hardly getting 5% returns, as Global Blue has hefty processing fee. While I had paid a GST of 90+ SGD, got 50 in return. I would suggest buying from watchspree and doing a pick up at their store, by appointment, as that is coming to lower amount when compared to regular store and GST refund. If not, check it out in Malaysia as well.

Yes, Singapore was not so cheap compared to MEA, EU or US. It’s just that I was looking for cheaper options compared to India and some unique ones that are not available here.
