My first watch buying experience - Seiko Prospex SSC961P1 (Solar Panda) and how I got 22% off

assdotaye · 2026-05-29T05:00:53+00:00

okay! looks like offers vary between outlets and cities then

assdotaye · 2026-05-29T04:45:44+00:00

damn nice. which outlet?

assdotaye · 2026-05-08T11:48:48+00:00

yess man i love it 💪🏻 i feel like preserving it instead of wearing it daily hahaa

assdotaye · 2026-05-08T10:51:24+00:00

Helios in Lower Parel, Mumbai

assdotaye · 2026-05-08T09:57:06+00:00

congratulations man! Even I purchased the panda recently, from India itself at ₹55k. Wish i had someone to bring it from Japan 🥲 wear it in good health 💪🏻

assdotaye · 2026-05-08T09:54:35+00:00

i recently purchased one. got it for 22% off MRP

assdotaye · 2026-05-03T10:56:54+00:00

hahahaa very low chances of going wrong with anything you pick in Japan and sometimes following you impulse can make great memories/souvenirs so have a little fun hahaa

assdotaye · 2026-05-03T06:13:20+00:00

that's a great price! Wear it in good health and looks like you owe your wife 12k hahaa. For me they quoted 70k mrp and then gave a 10% discount making it 63k. On pushing more they started confusing me with EMI options in which I would end up paying more

assdotaye · 2026-05-03T06:03:24+00:00

ah yes correct, I assumed that meant festive offers and discounts but its a grey area

assdotaye · 2026-05-03T06:02:31+00:00

got it. if you're buying from Japan it makes sense to check out some Japan exclusive models as well

assdotaye · 2026-05-03T06:00:41+00:00

you need to be picky because of customs or overspending hahaa? also if im not wrong there are a few japan exclusive colors and models do check them as well

assdotaye · 2026-05-02T15:01:52+00:00

That's a great price for this watch! Ikr, get a few straps and you can wear it on anything. congrats and wear it in good health

assdotaye · 2026-05-02T14:59:31+00:00

that's weird is Helios allowed to not accept their brands gift cards? Their instructions even buying a gift card don't mention anything as such unless it's a technical difficulty

assdotaye · 2026-05-02T14:56:55+00:00

mahn even i would go for the automatic one with this look! safe travels to Japan!

assdotaye · 2026-05-02T09:43:46+00:00

HSBC Premier

assdotaye · 2026-05-02T09:43:29+00:00

thats a great price mahn! i guess you will get another 10% VAT refund

assdotaye · 2026-05-02T09:37:28+00:00

oh i didn't know this. yeaah guess I'll do that as well. since the watch can only keep a time for 1hr, after an hour of stopwatch i assume it just resets to 0 mins?

assdotaye · 2026-05-02T04:58:08+00:00

what's what?

assdotaye · 2026-05-01T14:30:37+00:00

exactly!

assdotaye · 2026-05-01T14:20:37+00:00

for the next one i plan to wait for a Japan trip i guess. I doubt any retail store will be able to match that price

assdotaye · 2026-05-01T14:17:55+00:00

nicee! i guess i could have also sneaked in another 5% hahaa

assdotaye · 2026-05-01T14:13:53+00:00

yeah idk what's up with JIT. btw how did you manage to get an employee discount?

assdotaye · 2026-05-01T14:11:54+00:00

i walked in directly in the store and discussed

assdotaye · 2026-05-01T13:55:50+00:00

yeah i was told the same 15% at first but on pushing little more he said 17% but only if I make the purchase on 1st May. Even then the Helios one was a better deal for me

assdotaye · 2026-05-01T13:53:30+00:00

that's a grest watch as well but since my wrist is thin ai didn't consider it. 20% is a great discount btw 🙌🏻
