Top 10 JDM Watches to Hunt in Osaka & Kyoto

Why Shop for Watches in Japan? The JDM Appeal

Japan is a watch lover’s paradise, especially for JDM models that aren’t easily available elsewhere. These watches often feature exclusive designs, Kanji date wheels, or that coveted “Made in Japan” dial text.

Though, not all JDM watches are ultra-exclusive—some are just international models with subtle tweaks (like with Kanji day-date, or ‘Made in Japan”) —but the thrill of finding them in their home country, often at better prices with tax-free perks, is unbeatable.

During my trip, I’ll be focusing on Osaka and Kyoto, hitting spots like Bic Camera, Akky International, and even some thrift shops for those vintage watches.

Pro tip: Look for tax refunds for tourists to shave off around 10% on purchases. If you’re planning a similar adventure, this list will help you prioritize and avoid impulse buys.

My Watch Shopping Criteria: Budget, Size, and Must-Haves

Before we get to the watches, here’s what I’m prioritizing:

Budget: Ideally under $500 per watch, but I’ll stretch to $1,000 max for something special. Online prices are a guide, but expect savings in Japan after tax-free deals.
Size: Around 38mm for my smaller wrist—40mm is my absolute limit if the design wins me over.

I crowdsourced these recommendations from my audience on Watch Crunch, Instagram, and YouTube—thanks to everyone who chimed in! Your input helped shape the top picks below.

Top 10 JDM Watch Recommendations: Curated by Myself & My Audience

1. Seiko 5 Sports GMT SSK009 (White Dial JDM Exclusive)

This beauty resembles the Rolex Explorer II with its clean white dial and GMT function. It’s a true JDM gem—only available in Japan, unlike the international black dial version (SSK023). Though a JDM black version is available too (with a ‘Made in Japan’ print on the dial) – SBSC011

Specs: 42.5mm case (a bit big, but I’ll try it on), 4R34 movement, sapphire crystal.

Price Estimate: Around $400 online, but potentially $300 in Japan with tax-free.

Price: ~$300-$400 (tax-free savings).

2. Seiko SARB033, SARB035, SARB037

Often called the “Baby Grand Seiko,” this is a dress watch icon with a polished case and wearable size. Apparently, it’s a challenge to find as it is discontinued. My favourite will be the SARB037 with the salmon dial. Gorgeous!

Specs: 38mm case, 11.2mm thick, 6R15 movement, sapphire crystal, 44mm lug-to-lug.

Price Estimate: $800-$1,500 online (ouch!), but hoping for better deals in Japan.

3. Seiko SARB017 “Alphinist”

*Source: www.montredo.com*

The Seiko SARB017, affectionately dubbed the “original Alpinist,” is a JDM-exclusive field watch launched in 2006 and discontinued around 2018, making it a collector’s favorite. Its iconic forest green dial, champagne gold cathedral hands, and inner rotating compass bezel (operated via a second crown) evoke a rugged yet elegant vibe, perfect for adventurers and watch nerds alike. The SARB017’s JDM exclusivity, adds to its allure, although it is also apparently seemed impossible to get. So perhaps there are chances in some used vintage shops.

Specs: 39.5mm case, 12mm thick, 46.2mm lug-to-lug, 20mm lug width, 6R15 automatic (50-hour power reserve), Hardlex crystal, 200m WR, leather strap.
Price: $600-$1,000 used online; ~$500-$800 in Japan (tax-free, used shops).
Vs. Non-JDM SPB121: SPB121 (39.5mm, 6R35, 70-hour reserve, sapphire) is newer, more available ($600-$700), with upgraded movement/crystal but less JDM charm

4. Seiko SJE073 “Baby Grand Seiko Snowflake”

The Seiko Presage SJE073, a JDM-exclusive “Baby Snowflake,” is a limited-edition (1,881 pieces) dress watch with a 40.7mm case, 9.8mm thick, 6L35 automatic movement, and sapphire crystal, priced at $1,850-$2,500 online. Compared to the non-JDM Seiko SARX055 ($400-$1,200), it offers a slimmer profile, more accurate movement, making it a collector’s gem for my Osaka/Kyoto hunt.

5. KUOE

The Kuoe Sombrero 90-011, launched in 2024, is a compressor-style diver from Kyoto-based microbrand Kuoe, founded in 2020 by Kenji Uchimura to capture Kyoto’s timeless charm with vintage-inspired designs. Its 38mm case, textured dial and Seiko NH38 automatic movement make it a stylish, affordable option for my collection, fitting my 38-40mm preference. Kuoe’s Kyoto flagship store offers exclusive models and a hands-on shopping experience, making it a must-visit for watch enthusiasts.

6. Vintage King Seiko

Based on my audience’s tips, generally look for Vintage King Seiko (44/45/56 Series)

Ideally, year 1969-1970 models with A-type movement to avoid 56-series plastic date wheel issues; gold medallion case backs add value.

Description: Vintage King Seiko models (44, 45, 56 series, 1960s-1970s) are JDM mechanical watches, offering Grand Seiko-like quality at a lower price. No-date versions are rarest, with sharp cases and unique 1970s bracelets.

Price: $500-$2,000 online; $400-$1,500 in Japan (used, tax-free). Prices are for estimation only.

Honorable Mentions: More Audience-Curated Gems

7. Citizen Zenshin

8. Casio Oceanus

9. Seiko Actus

10. King Quartz

Wrapping Up: Ready for the Hunt?

This wishlist, powered by suggestions from my YouTube, Instagram, and Watch Crunch audience, has me buzzing for my Osaka-Kyoto trip—fingers crossed for that salmon SARB or a cool exclusive.

Why My Seiko SKX013 Means Too Much to Sell

Why I Can’t Sell My Seiko SKX013

Why? The Seiko SKX013 was my first mechanical watch, and it carries a story that makes it irreplaceable. I bought it during one of the toughest periods of my life.

My career was in chaos, I felt completely lost, friendships and relationships were crumbling, and loneliness was overwhelming. It was a dark time.

But through prayer and determination, I pulled myself together. I dove into the world of watches, landed a job I love in an incredibly supportive corporate environment, and made a complete career switch. It required learning new skills, but my passion helped me find joy and grow.

With my first month’s salary from that job, I celebrated by buying this SKX013.

Seiko SKX013 — *Getting a durable watch serves as a personal reminder to stay strong and push through life’s challenges.*

I chose this watch for its affordability and durability, particularly its ISO certification. For a non-diver like me, that certification might seem unnecessary, but it’s proof this midsize dive watch is built to last. YouTube reviewers often called it a “beater watch” because of its robust build, and that durability became a personal reminder to stay strong and push through life’s challenges. I know it’s unusual to see a watch this way, but that’s what makes it special to me.

My Collector’s ‘Toxic’ Trait

There are many types of watch collectors, and I’m not ashamed to admit I’m the kind who attaches deep meaning to each piece, tying them to life’s moments and memories. It’s why I struggle to let go, even when I stop wearing certain watches or my tastes evolve.

Sigh. As a watch YouTuber, this trait feels almost toxic. My job is to review watches, but I keep accumulating them, even those bought just for content. It’s hard to sell pieces I’ve lost love for when they still hold stories, and now I’m practically hoarding, operating at a loss.

The SKX013 is a prime example. Its value goes beyond its iconic design or the fact that I could sell it for more than I paid. It’s a symbol of my journey, and that’s worth more than money.

The Seiko SKX013 vs. 5KX Debate

The SKX013 was beloved for its affordability, quality, and iconic design, which is why fans were upset when Seiko discontinued it in 2019. Its ISO certification set it apart in its price range, and the 7S26 movement was reliable, if not cutting-edge.

Seiko SRPK 38mm 5KX Divers — *source: @ChisholmHunterOfficial on YouTube*

I understand Seiko’s perspective, though. The newer 5KX models, like the SRPK line under $300, offer great value with the upgraded 4R36 movement, which includes hand-winding and hacking. Even without ISO certification, the 5KX is a solid entry-level watch. If I didn’t already own the SKX013, I’d probably pick one up. That said, the debate between SKX and 5KX fans is heated—both sides have valid points. What’s your take? Share in the comments!

Rediscovering the SKX013

Here’s the funny thing: while writing this and wearing the SKX013, I’m starting to fall back in love with it. I’m even thinking about passing it down to my son one day. But for that to mean something, I need to wear it more—it can’t just be one of many watches collecting dust. Maybe a NATO strap will give it a fresh look and get it back on my wrist.

Conclusion

So, why can’t I let go of my Seiko SKX013? It’s more than a watch—it’s a reminder of my toughest days and how I overcame them to find a job I love. Its sentimental value outweighs any market price.

The Seiko 5KX and 5 GMT are great, and I see why Seiko moved on, but this SKX013 is my story. No upgrade can replace that. Do you have a watch you can’t part with? Are you an SKX or 5KX owner? Share your stories in the comments below!

My Mosel 35mm: A DIY Watch Building Experience

Why Build Your Own Watch?

Watches come in all forms—luxury, budget, or forgotten in a drawer. Some wear them daily; others keep them as sentimental keepsakes. But what if you could create your own? A watch you build carries a special weight—pride, ownership, and a unique connection. The Mosel 35mm isn’t flashy or modded; it’s elegant, understated, with a subtle logo that sparks curiosity: “What’s that watch?”

The Mosel 35mm: Design and Features

The Mosel 35mm exudes vintage charm with its curved silver sunburst dial, which shimmers beautifully in the light. Its rose gold case and hands add sophistication, though some call its 35mm case and 18mm lug width “feminine.” In reality, this size echoes classic vintage dress watches —perfectly unisex and timeless.

DIY WATCH CLUB_Miyota 8315 Movement — The heart of the Mosel is the **Miyota 8315 movement**

The heart of the Mosel is the Miyota 8315 movement, a standout for its affordability and beauty. With a gold escapement wheel, heat-blued steel screws, Côtes de Genève decoration, and over 60 hours of power reserve, it’s a step above entry-level movements like Seiko’s 7S26. The 18mm lug width initially raised eyebrows, but the longer strap from DIY Watch Club ensures a comfortable fit for both me and my husband, who loves borrowing it.

A Personal Touch: My Dad’s Reaction

Last month, while visiting my parents in Kuala Lumpur, I brought the Mosel along. My parents, always supportive of my projects, had seen my watch-building videos. When my dad asked, “Is that the watch you made? Can I borrow it?” I was so flattered!

Seeing him wear it all day, smiling, filled me with pride. It was a moment that made the hours of assembly worthwhile. I’m now inspired to build another, perhaps with a custom rotor just for him.

Why the Mosel 35mm Stands Out

Compared to my old Hamilton Intra-Matic, which now feels oversized, the Mosel’s 35mm case is a perfect fit. It’s shifted my taste toward smaller, elegant watches, leaving my “big watch” phase behind.

This watch isn’t just for telling time—it’s a symbol of creativity and connection. Whether I’m wearing it or seeing it on my husband or dad, it feels like mine in a way no store-bought watch ever could.

Build Your Own Watch with DIY Watch Club

Ready to build your own? The Mosel 35mm kit from DIY Watch Club is a fantastic starting point. It’s more than a watch—it’s a story you create with your hands. Visit DIY Watch Club to explore their kits, and use my code ASHLEYTEE for 5% off your purchase. Your support helps keep my content going!

Are Delugs Straps and Watch Roll Worth It?

Why Choose Delugs for Your Watch Straps?

Delugs, a Singapore-based brand, is renowned for its high-quality, handcrafted watch straps and accessories. With a wide variety of options, choosing can be daunting, but their best-sellers page makes it easy to find top picks.

I selected three straps and the Prism Trio watch roll to test, focusing on their compatibility with the Tissot PRX and other watches like the Hamilton Intra-matic Chrono and Tissot models. Here’s my honest take on each.

Black Barenia Signature Strap: Affordable Elegance

Priced at $120 SGD ($95 USD), the black Barenia signature strap is one of Delugs’ more budget-friendly options. We chose a 20mm lug width tapering to 16mm, in medium size, paired with a Hamilton Intra-Matic Chrono.

Hamilton Intra-Matic Chrono on Delugs Strap

Key Features

Premium Quality: Made from soft, full-grain Barenia leather with a matte finish, neat black thread stitching, and visible grain, this strap feels professional yet comfortable from day one.
Quick-Release Spring Bars: Included at no extra cost, making strap changes effortless.
Versatile Style: Its subtle black leather design suits both casual and formal settings, offering a refined alternative to the original mesh bracelet.

Pros

Affordable at $95 USD for a high-quality leather strap.
Soft and comfortable with no break-in period.
Seamless fit with the Hamilton Khaki Chrono.

Cons

The optional butterfly deployant clasp ($20 SGD extra) feels cheap and jangly, falling short of Delugs’ premium standards. Opt for the standard pin buckle instead.

Verdict

The black Barenia strap is a fantastic value for those seeking an elegant, premium leather strap. Skip the butterfly clasp and stick with the regular buckle for the best experience.

Matte Black Alligator Signature Strap: Classic Luxury

At $210 SGD ($165 USD), the matte black alligator signature strap is a premium option. I selected an 18mm lug width tapering to 16mm, in small size, for a 34mm Tissot watch.

Key Features

Genuine Alligator Leather: The evident alligator texture adds a classy, professional touch, maintaining the Tissot’s classic aesthetic.
Soft and Flexible: No break-in time required, with a brushed Delugs buckle for a secure fit.
Shorter Length Options: The small size fits perfectly for smaller wrists, avoiding excess strap length.

Pros

High-quality craftsmanship with a luxurious feel.
Perfect fit for smaller wrists, enhancing comfort.
Durable compared to cheaper alternatives, like AliExpress straps that degrade quickly.

Cons

Steep price at $165 USD may deter budget-conscious buyers.
Premium cost targets a niche audience willing to invest in quality leather.

Verdict

The matte black alligator strap is ideal for those who value luxury and durability. While the price is high, its quality justifies the cost for luxury watch owners seeking a long-lasting, sophisticated strap.

White CTS Rubber Strap for Tissot PRX: Sporty and Vibrant

The white cut-to-size (CTS) rubber strap, priced at $185 SGD ($145 USD), is tailored for the Tissot PRX. Its integrated design and quick-release spring bars make it a standout third-party option.

Key Features

Perfect Fit: Designed specifically for the PRX, it integrates seamlessly with no protruding parts, despite being a third-party strap.
Customizable Sizing: Comes with step-by-step instructions for cutting to fit any wrist, including smaller ones (e.g., 150mm). Features two micro-adjustments per side for a precise fit.
Vibrant Design: The white color offers a fun, casual look, pairing beautifully with a mother-of-pearl dial. The tropical-style texture resists dust and is waterproof, cleanable with a damp microfiber cloth.
Premium Clasp: The leaf spring deployant clasp is high-quality, enhancing the strap’s sporty yet refined aesthetic.

Pros

Transforms the PRX into a fresh, casual timepiece, distinct from the original bracelet.
Durable, waterproof, and easy to maintain.
Reasonable price for a $700–$800 watch, offering a new-watch feel.
Excellent fit for smaller wrists with customizable sizing.

Cons

CTS design means it’s non-shareable once cut, limiting versatility to one wrist size (minor adjustments possible via micro-adjustments).
Cutting process requires patience to avoid mistakes.

Verdict

The white CTS rubber strap is a must-have for Tissot PRX owners seeking a sporty, vibrant look. Its perfect fit, durability, and premium clasp make it worth the $145 USD, especially for smaller wrists. Highly recommended for refreshing your PRX’s style.

Prism Trio Watch Roll: Premium Storage Solution for SMALL WRISTS!

Priced at $350 SGD ($275 USD), the Delugs Prism Trio watch roll is a luxurious storage option for three watches, ideal for collectors with small wrists.

Compressible Pillows: M-shaped, soft pillows accommodate wrist sizes from 14.5cm to 19cm, ensuring a secure fit without straining straps.
Thoughtful Design: Individual compartments prevent watches from bumping. A slide-in, slide-out mechanism avoids snap buttons, with premium leather exterior and velvety interior.
Premium Packaging: Includes a high-quality box for storage and a travel pouch for portability.

See the watch roll in action in this video:

Pros

Innovative pillow design fits all wrist sizes comfortably.
Elegant and protective, perfect for travel or display.
Luxurious unboxing experience with practical storage solutions.

Cons

High price at $275 USD may not suit all budgets.

Verdict

The Prism Trio watch roll is a top-tier accessory for watch enthusiasts who prioritize style and protection. Its innovative design and premium materials make it a worthwhile investment for safeguarding your collection.

Casio ABL-100 vs A168: Is It Worth the Upgrade?

Differences in Build & Design

Display Differences

The Casio A168 features a bold, single-line time display that’s clear and easy to read. In contrast, the ABL-100 splits its screen into three sections, showing the time, a three-letter day, a full date (month, day, year), and a bar graph for step tracking. This multi-line display adds functionality but sacrifices some of the A168’s simplicity.

Bracelet Design

The A168’s brushed metal bracelet has a curvy, rounded design, which some users report as hair-pinching (though I can’t confirm this personally). The ABL-100 introduces a flatter, rice-grain-style bracelet that blends seamlessly with the case, offering a more polished and modern look. This cohesive design feels like a significant upgrade, making the ABL-100 stand out for style-conscious wearers.

Case and Button Layout

The A168 has a glossy case with “Electroluminescence” and “Illuminator” text, while the ABL-100 swaps these for “Illuminator” and “Water Resist,” adding “Step Tracker” and “Bluetooth” labels. The ABL-100 also tweaks the button layout, with the light button on the top right, doubling as a fourth button for easier navigation. The A168’s light button sits on the top left, with simpler controls.

Size and Weight

The A168 measures slightly smaller and thicker, with a protruding case back, weighing 48.2g. The ABL-100 is slimmer and flatter, measuring 41.6 x 37.9 x 8.2mm and weighing 58.8g. While the ABL-100 feels slightly heavier, the difference is barely noticeable unless you’re hyper-focused (like me during this review!).

Lighting: A Practical Upgrade

The A168’s electroluminescent blue glow is stunning but requires holding the button. The ABL-100 uses an LED backlight (amber) with customizable 1.5 or 3-second illumination, making it more practical for quick glances. While I personally love the A168’s blue glow, the ABL-100’s lighting is a functional improvement.

Features: Simple vs Smart

Casio A168 Features

The A168 is the epitome of simplicity:

Stopwatch
One alarm
Hourly chime
Auto calendar
7-year battery life (CR2016)

It’s reliable and perfect for those who want a no-frills timepiece.

Casio ABL-100 Features

The ABL-100 takes things up a notch with:

Step Tracker: Displays steps (0–999,999 range) with a bar graph for hourly progress, goal setting (1,000–50,000 steps), and a reminder for low activity.
Bluetooth Connectivity: Pairs with the Casio Watches app for automatic time adjustment, world time (300 cities), alarm settings, and a phone finder feature.
Advanced Stopwatch: 1/100-second precision, up to 200 lap/split time records.
Countdown Timer: 60-minute range with 1-second increments.
Dual Time Mode: Easily swap between two time zones via the app.
Five Alarms: More flexibility for reminders.
2-Year Battery Life: Uses a CR2016 battery with a power-saving mode to extend life.

The ABL-100’s features make it feel like a smartwatch without the need for charging, a huge plus for convenience.

Step Tracker Accuracy: Motivation Over Precision

The ABL-100’s step tracker requires 20 seconds of consistent movement to start counting, which helps filter out false steps. In my amateur test, I compared it to a Huawei Fitness Band (5,400 steps) and a Garmin watch (6,000 steps) after a day of normal activity. The ABL-100 logged 7,300 steps, overcounting by about 1,000 steps. While not as accurate as dedicated fitness trackers, it’s decent for casual tracking and serves as a motivational tool rather than a precision device.

Bluetooth and App Integration

The ABL-100’s Bluetooth connectivity is a game-changer. The Casio Watches app is user-friendly, allowing you to:

Set alarms and world time effortlessly
Track step data and view life logs
Use the phone finder feature (a lifesaver for forgetful folks like me!)

The phone finder works even when the watch isn’t actively connected, as long as it’s paired beforehand.

ABL-100 Water Resistance: A Minor Disappointment

Both watches are rated for 30m water resistance, suitable for hand washing or light splashes but not swimming. I accidentally wore the ABL-100 while swimming in a river, and it survived (phew!), but I wouldn’t recommend pushing your luck. A 50m rating would have been a welcome upgrade for the ABL-100.

Price Comparison: Value for Money?

Casio A168: At $20, it’s a bargain for a reliable, iconic retro watch.
Casio ABL-100: Priced at $80, it’s a significant jump but offers Bluetooth, step tracking, dual time, and a refined bracelet.

The A168 is perfect if you love retro charm and basic functionality. The ABL-100 justifies its price with smart features and a modern design, appealing to those who want a hybrid of retro style and smartwatch functionality.

Is the Casio ABL-100 Worth the Upgrade?

The Casio ABL-100 is a compelling upgrade for those who want more than just a timepiece. The step tracker, while not perfectly accurate, motivates you to stay active, and the Bluetooth features (especially the phone finder) add practicality. The refined bracelet and slimmer profile elevate its style, making it versatile for casual or formal wear. However, if you’re all about the A168’s retro charm and iconic blue glow, and don’t need the extra features, stick with the classic.

For me, the ABL-100’s bracelet and smart features make it worth the $80, especially if you’re already a smartwatch user looking for a low-maintenance alternative. What do you think? Let me know in the comments which watch you prefer!

DIY Watch Club’s Watchmaking Kit Mosel 35mm Review: A Beginner’s Adventure

Unboxing the Mosel 35mm Kit: First Impressions

Unboxing DIY Watch Club Watcmaking Kit Mosel 35mm Component Pack — The **component pack** greeted me with a welcome envelope containing clear instructions, a URL, and a QR code linking to detailed instructional videos.

These resources estimated a 2-hour assembly time, which I hoped to manage despite my baby playing downstairs—parent life means squeezing projects into tight schedules!

The kit’s thoughtful packaging immediately set a high standard, making it accessible even for beginners like me.

The Pro Tool Kit: A Game-Changer for Watchmaking

I specifically requested the Pro Tool Kit to see how it compares to my basic tools, and it did not disappoint. Housed in a premium box with dedicated slots for each tool, it exudes quality.

DIY Watch Club Pro Tool Kit — *From the **spring bar tool remover** to the **blower**, every piece feels high-end.*

The tools’ premium feel and organization elevated the entire experience, making the assembly process smoother and more enjoyable. For anyone serious about watchmaking and look forward for more DIY projects, the Pro Tool Kit is a worthy upgrade over basic tools. However, for this particular watchmaking, this is a bit ‘overkill’.

Beginner-Friendly Guidance from DIY Watch Club

One of the standout features of the Mosel 35mm kit is its instructional videos. Beyond just assembly steps, they explain critical details, like which parts of the Miyota 8315 movement to avoid touching and where to safely apply pressure.

This guidance was invaluable for a beginner like me, transforming a potentially daunting task into an educational experience.

Why the Mosel 35mm Kit Stands Out

The Mosel 35mm kit isn’t just about building a watch—it’s about embracing a hands-on journey. The 35mm size, rare in today’s market, evokes vintage charm, while the high-quality components and Pro Tool Kit make it accessible yet rewarding. The detailed instructions and videos ensure beginners can dive in with confidence, while the premium tools appeal to enthusiasts looking to elevate their craft.
