It looks like they added a blurb on all their watches that says "LOCAL BUYERS ONLY" but I'm still able to add to cart and move onto the Paypal payment page even though I'm outside Singapore. It might have been added to skirt their Seiko territorial contract.

SRP775K1 black Turtle with gold markers $296 SGD after 50OFF coupon (~$215 USD)

These prices look good, thanks! I realized I do not have a single Seiko in my collection (well, perhaps some movements in some homage watches) so snagged this one!
I hope they don't realize that a delivery to the US is not to a local buyer, but what the hell, I'll give it a shot!
Thanks again!
LOL they cancelled my order, they were serious about the international restrictions.
Oddly, there was no printed restriction on the SRP773J1, so have asked for that. It’s about $30 US more, but I asked for the $10 first time buyer discount as well.
So it ends up being around $23 US more for this blueJapan version, which seems ok.
I will update in due course.

Darn it! So sorry about that. Couple weeks ago they were allowing international orders.

I'll update my original post. Thanks for the info.

After all my bumbling yesterday, I did place an order for the SKX013 (which didn’t say LOCAL BUYERS ONLY) and got shipping confirmation this morning.

Its the Prospex line they won't ship, so I guess the SKX series is ok.

Sorry to resurrect the **** talk but I was curious about these watches based on the discussion of their age. I emailed Gemination and they told me they are new watches made in late 2019.

It's an even better price when you consider that if you forget to run the dishwasher you can serve dinner on your wrist.
Hahaha... too funny! I was going to say something along these lines. I got a Glycine KMU 48 back in 2016 during Amazon Prime Days for a little under $500. So this is a great price. However, I did return mine. The lug to lug distance is like 55mm, which is appropriate for a 48mm diameter watch, but the lug overhang on my 7.25" wrist was just ridiculous. Fortunately returns with Amazon are super easy. But this is something to consider if purchasing this watch. It was actually this watch that really opened my eyes to the lug to lug specification and how important it is to me to help determine if a watch will be a good fit for my wrist.

If you want a dinner plate - and I’m thinking I do - code SC20PMAR9P gets it down to $265.

WatchGecko has their "B-Grade" Horkstow Milanese mesh bracelet reduced to $13.10, originally $115.25! "PLEASE NOTE: These are B-Graded watch straps, they have very minor finishing imperfections. There are no other problems with the watch straps, limited availability so get them whilst you can, when they are gone they're gone!"

(Note that the reviews on these are somewhat mixed, so be mindful of that. Still seems like a pretty safe risk at this price point if you're looking for a mesh with butterfly clasp).

I would genuinely doubt that as Ball Watch Co. has not made quartz watches since Jeff Hess has been president, predating early/mid 2000's.
