Advice #1: Check carefully the Supraorbital Ridge, although apparently these can be buffed down pretty effectively these days :lol:

Advice #2: The Seiko main outlet in Bangkok apparently had/has good deals going, cheaper than Japan

If taking the Mrs, remember to pay corkage at customs

Serious answer: Thailand is not the place to buy a watch as "a bargain".

Huge (up to 350%) import tax on Luxury Goods will see to that...
Having said that, there are some superb Thai market only Seikos available and also a plethora of Asia-market only models too.

My Stafish Monster for example.

I also saw (and have since reserved!) a brand new Samurai Ninja LE in an AD's window. Going to collect it next month I think and will be on the lookout for at least teo other watches that I've been asked to source for TZ'ers! :D

The "list" price on the Ninja was around 17500THB but I negotiated some discount. It pays to speak a bit of Thai :wink:
The Thai-only Mini Monsters are nice:

You should be able to pick one of those up for around £200, or £600 here (on eBay)!! :shock:
