the_frenchman 31 Posted May 5, 2019 Evening gent , Just thought this may interest many of us around here . Just found a SKX009 on Wish for silly money . Plus there is a MAY coupon with aditional discount , hurry up before it is sold out ! Note: not sure about the quality or what will i get from but , hey. It is worth a try in my opinion. https://www.wish.com/share/3636dzhwkw Good luck to everyone ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stfrance 17 Posted May 5, 2019 (edited) Even Seiko Turtles are on sale even in cheap price.. Hesitating to buy one or not due to quality and authenticity.. Any experiences??? Edited May 5, 2019 by stfrance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theviking 197 Posted May 5, 2019 Worth a put, always wanted one. Thanks @the_frenchman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NCRich 13,743 Posted May 5, 2019 Old news. Not a Seiko obviously. A 21j imitation. You can frequently get the real thing for about twice the fake price. Doesn't seem worthwhile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ShovelnTC 31 Posted May 5, 2019 Well being that they also have a B&R for under $50 I'm guessing the Seikos are likely Rep as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cvp3 2,103 Posted May 6, 2019 Already established as reps. The turtles look pretty decent for $80. I have 4 of the Seikos inbound now. I'll post up once they arrive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cvp3 2,103 Posted May 18, 2019 Got the land monster. Really a nice watch. 1) Solid case, with heavy bracelet and solid end links. 2) Upper crown sets date/time. 3) Lower crown rotates inner bezel. 4) Bezel is solid, 60 clicks and centered nicely. 5) Lume is very bright but doesn't last like Seiko. 6) I'll pretend like I don't like it........just long enough, then order the black bezel.

Hattricks 0 Posted May 19, 2019 Why though? You can get a used gen SKX for not much more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Land Monster however goes for $400+ here in the USA and was sub-$75 via wish after coupon and is actually pretty darned good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
