Comment on “I Love Seiko” Prize Presentation at Thong Sia Singapore by Yeoman

Hi The Flying Scotsman,

Thanks for the message.

You are right about the Landmonster. It is a hefty watch indeed. It’s made in Malaysia (north of Singapore) but we have to purchase and ship it all the way from the US.

Go ahead and get the Emperor Tuna. It is a great watch. Don’t let the price shown in the picture scare you. You know you can get it online from the usual suspects for less.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family.

Best regards,
Thomas

WoW! musta been a wonderful moment! Speaking of Jamban’s Landmaster, it’s made in Malaysia which is Ironic.

It’s like going to Venice and buying souvenirs that are made in China! LOL! But a very hefty and unique watch nonetheless! Thanks for sharing the experience.

Was just looking through SCWF and can finally see the man behind this set of photos!

Currently very tempted to indulge in an Emperor Tuna myself. See how the Bbbbonus is like before Chinese New Year! The pic above has inflamed the desire somewhat! LOL!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and the Yeoman Clan, immediate and not so distant members!

Hi Jules,

‘Hack’ actually refers to the stop second feature. The second hand stops when the crown is pulled to the second click position.

‘Handwind’ means the watch can be manually wound by turning the crown.

Please check the site below for a list of watch glossary:

Hello, sorry for my silly question (my english is not the best), can you explain what is “hack” and “handwind”? Best Regards!

Hi Hulubalang,

The watch has drilled through lugs. Use the pointed end of the spring bar tool to push the spring bar out. See picture below.

If you do not have a spring bar tool, I suggest you ask the watch shop to do it for you.

Best regards,
Thomas
