The watch is MADE IN CHINA and yet ironically not available here locally, sadly speaking. Amazon.co.jp would not ship to HK.
BTW, not that it matters. I use an iphone4 and it is MADE IN CHINA but for SEIKO, with history and legacy and the title of the oldest Japanese watch making company, I would find it more exotic if it is all made in Japan.
Then again, MADE IN CHINA is reality for almost all until RMB appreciates to a point which Geitner thinks the Americans would get back their jobs... you find AUDI, BIMMER and soon MERC to be MADE IN CHINA.
Thank god Ferrari is still MADE IN ITALY... but for how long...
I ordered one through a friend living in Japan and he will mail it back and should arrive by 23rd so I heard. I ordered PVD black. Hope I won't be disappointed. How's the workmanship? I am usually the PAM guy but find this digital watch (a first for me for god knows how long) amusing.
BTW, then again, I ask myself, sure EPD and e-INK, very cool, but then I look down at my iphone4 with super retina display and the clock, then I suddenly feel a bit odd for buying this. Heck, the iphone 4 super retina display has way better looking clock and yet cost < 1000 bucks USD. Oh well...
