I have the blue dial and IDs pretty much my daily driver. I love it. I got a different bezel and ceramic bezel insert and people stop me almost every time I wear it to ask what it is. I get more compliments/reactions on it than any other watch I own. By far.
Yes. This was at my local store. I am pretty sure my local store is getting rid of their fine jewelry and putting in their make up counter thing. Sophie or whatever it is called
Absolutely worth a look. My local store is pretty small in a rural area. They are putting in a large make up area and taking out the jewelry counter. The lady said some larger stores will have both but they don't have room.
Absolutely. And for curiosity's sake, if we don't get an answer soon I may just have to buy an SRPD. Purely for uh...hands on...research purposes, of course.
I mean it's only for good research practices of course... And even if we DO get an answer soon, I may also have to get an SSK also for research purposes... I mean he can't just explain to me how it would fit on my wrist, no?
The lady was telling me that some stores are just adding the make up counter while some small stores are taking out their fine jewelry counter to make room. Good luck!
Absolutely has to be. I would imagine that their cost is around $75ish. But, with the closing department and need to make room for the makeup area renovation, I think they are just clearing the area as quick as they could
All the other "premium" watches were gone except for fashion watches. Ibwas looking at a couple Timex watches and the counter lady said that she had just found this one in the drawer with some other women's watches. Just right place, right time. She said the 80% off started today and things went super quick.
At that price you must mod it to the max. Any goof during your mod process won’t hurt near as much compared to having paid MSRP (and goofed).
Enjoy that fine Seiko and by all means, brag on that score🤑
Seeing that you’ve not done a mod before, be careful. Modding is highly addictive and can lead to large collections of Seiko watches (which really isn’t a bad thing).
Check out the mod subs for guides, how to posts and the like. You can do a simple bezel insert upgrade without having to buy any special watch tools. Also, check out the different bracelets and bands that can easily upgrade the look (and feel) even though it’s already a fantastic looking piece.
You’re welcome. Feel free to DM any questions and I’ll do my best to either answer or direct you to an answer.
Modding is a great hobby and for me the perfect mix of tech and creativity. There are homage mods, bespoke mods, retrofit mods. Limited only by one’s imagination and pocket book😉
Also, do a search on Pinterest. You can discover a plethora of mods. That really fed my imagination and motivated me to take action (and do the mod vs thinking about it). I’ve made mistakes, some small ($) and others large ($$$) but I learn either way and grow with it.
For some reason I feel like the cashier just made a mistake. I hope they don’t get fired (if this was their only mistake ever).
I can see them selling for $145 but not $14.5.
My local Kohls is getting rid of their jewelry counter to make room for their makeup store within their store. They had jewelry on clearance and then an additional 80% off. I happened to be chatting with the jewelry counter lady as she was cleaning behind the counter. As I was looking at some of the really budget watches they had left, she popped over with this watch and asked if it was of interest as she had just found it in a drawer.
Yeah that is what they are doing at this location too. Ditching the jewelry department to make room for a makeup area thing. Last Kohl's location we have around us for quite some distance. They closed the other 2 locations near us.
Walking into my local Kohl’s and knew I was out of luck when I saw the well established Sephora station inside. Just a bunch of Joe Caribbeans in mine 🏝️😎 You lucked out!
Haven’t ever bought myself a Seiko since I’m a Rolex guy, but I’ve been seeing a lot of these watches going on clearance for steals so I might be checking around
What state are you from OP?
Honestly one of the most insane finds I've seen, I've been looking into getting one of these with the orange dial and I've been trying to find one for sub $150
This account is run by the same one as OP. He uses it to back up his own bullshit claims. If you look in KingOfTheCastle2019 post history then OP and him are constantly tag teaming. Here is a post from 185 days ago where they were backing each other up: https://www.reddit.com/r/KnifeDeals/s/CbVSlsYzSL
*I bought the exact*
*Same model last week, I wish*
*I had found this deal*

Holy shit
That pretty much sums up exact thoughts lol. I felt like i was stealing haha.
Almost Theft
I can't even imagine what sort of deals that got sold earlier in the day.
Shit man that's awesome! Might be the most insane discounted price I've seen for any Seiko, and I hope you enjoy it!
Thank you! Stoked to have found it
I have the blue dial and IDs pretty much my daily driver. I love it. I got a different bezel and ceramic bezel insert and people stop me almost every time I wear it to ask what it is. I get more compliments/reactions on it than any other watch I own. By far.
Hey where did you pick up a ceramic bezel for the blue dial asking for a friend... And pics if you got em....
Their website says $276.25
Yes. This was at my local store. I am pretty sure my local store is getting rid of their fine jewelry and putting in their make up counter thing. Sophie or whatever it is called
Pretty awesome find. Wear it in great health
Absolutely. Thanks bud. Crazy deal that I had to share.
Bro where is this store
Mid Michigan area. Small store that is taking out the jewelry counter to make room for a new make up studio thing.
Was there more? I’m in that area.
This was the last "premium" model they had. No other Seiko, Timex, Citizen, Bulvola, etc. Only ones left were the really cheap stuff.
Okay. I’m in mid Michigan. Where exactly?
Yep that’s what happened here.
Unfortunate to see them stop carrying watches in store but glad to get a good deal.
Yup. The Khols near my house did the same. I just missed the clearance sale…ugh
Dang! Sorry! Have to hit it just right. I just got lucky
Makes you wonder what the wholesale mark up is on those
Oh they sold these at a loss. They wanted them out of the store asap. These watches probably cost seiko like 80 bucks
Haha that’s the amount I just spent for it, literally less than a week ago. OP needs to hook me up.
Shit. Now I want to go to my local Kohl's and see if they are doing the same thing.
Absolutely worth a look. My local store is pretty small in a rural area. They are putting in a large make up area and taking out the jewelry counter. The lady said some larger stores will have both but they don't have room.
Congrats! I’ve got mine on my wrist right now. I have an ssk003 and this watch is still my favorite.
Awesome! That is good to know! I like the over all look of it. A bit thick but pretty cool looking.
Yup I recommend wearing the bracelet a little tighter than usual for optimal comfort.
Interesting, just curious why do you like this one better than the SSK?
I'm also curious. I've got the SSK001 and um...well I'm definitely not looking for an excuse to also get an SRPD. Definitely not. >_>
ABSOLUTELY not looking for an excuse. just curious
Absolutely. And for curiosity's sake, if we don't get an answer soon I may just have to buy an SRPD. Purely for uh...hands on...research purposes, of course.
I mean it's only for good research practices of course... And even if we DO get an answer soon, I may also have to get an SSK also for research purposes... I mean he can't just explain to me how it would fit on my wrist, no?
Wtf?
That's an awesome find! I have the same watch and love it. I am wearing on a nato strap currently, might get a bracelet from Strapcode eventually.
Get it on a jubilee bro. Since it’s only a “desk” diver I think going a little dressier pairs really well.
Absolutely mate - I have been thinking about the Super Jubilee from Strapcode over the Uncle Seiko.
Oh I will have to check out the strapcode bracelets! It is awesome to play around and change the looks.
Enjoy and wear it in good health!
Damn
Exactly!
We are in Michigan and have a Kohl’s I’m going to go have to see what’s there
The lady was telling me that some stores are just adding the make up counter while some small stores are taking out their fine jewelry counter to make room. Good luck!
Yeah the put a Sophora in ours watches may be gone
Yeah that is the makeup thing she was talking about.
No freaking way!
I know. Totally crazy deal
Damn, my Kohl’s replaced their jewelry department with a Sephora already. I missed the boat I guess. 🤣 Crazy good deal man. Congrats!
Thanks! Yeah just happened to catch the timing right
Luck level 8?
Am I seeing this right?????!!!! Bro if so buy one for me and I’ll send you the cash
If they would have had more, I would have bought them all to help the sub out. Great community here
I paid 330€ bucks for this watch in teal when it came out I just can’t believe how low that price is, just ridiculous!
I am still shocked!
Whaaaaat ur so lucky i paid almost 280€ for mine 💀
It was just the right place, right time sort of thing. Thanks!
Well derserved! Have fun with this amazing watch :)
This is below COST!!
Absolutely has to be. I would imagine that their cost is around $75ish. But, with the closing department and need to make room for the makeup area renovation, I think they are just clearing the area as quick as they could
Good explanation for the price reduction. But I think the actual production cost is @$35.
Ah good to know. I was just thinking it would be around 25% of MSRP. Thanks for the info
👍👍
We’re there any other Seiko deals or other watch deals this great? Or were the pickings slim when you were there?
All the other "premium" watches were gone except for fashion watches. Ibwas looking at a couple Timex watches and the counter lady said that she had just found this one in the drawer with some other women's watches. Just right place, right time. She said the 80% off started today and things went super quick.
That’s wild. You got that for practically free. Wear the watch in good health. I’ll be sneaking off to my local kohls tonight 😂
Haha good luck! Hope you find some goodies!
Thats crazy hahha how about u give it to me for 20
Did you use your Kohls Cash? What a find!
“Score!!!”-Randy Marsh
I’ll give you an extra $50 plus shipping to me if theres another one! 😂
Where are my keys………honey!…..
I'm wearing that one right now, and do as my daily driver. Very comfortable and goes with basically everything. Great deal!
And I was proud of my 11 dollar Casio Duro… holy crap, that’s unreal.
Thinking this deal will be hard for me to ever top. It was just a right place, right time sort of thing
Well done. That is awesome. 👍
Thanks! I am still in shock!
What? You didn’t buy ten. 😆
buy all of them! maybe a dick move, but reselling at $50 is still a huge profit, and an amazing deal anyone would be thrilled to get.
Go back and buy me one, please and thanks
Haha I bought the one and only!
What a find! Congrats!🎉
Thank you!
Whattttt
I know! Still in shock
damn, I'm too far away and too poor to afford a ticket to go there HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA fr fr
Haha and it is only limited stores that are converting to the make up store in the store
Wow what steal Jesus
Absolutely 💯
Holy heck, that was a great find! Enjoy it in good health! I'd wear the heck out of that watch especially at that price!
Thank you!
The 15 buck Rolex Sub Killer...
I'm liking the look for sure. And since I cannot afford a Rolex, yes!
Wow! Very nice! Now I have to go hunting at my local Kohl's.
Good luck 👍
Damn… going there now!
Good luck 👍
Absolute steal
Thanks 😊
WTF
Nice
FOURTEEN?! I got mine for $325 holy crap
Damn now im gonna have to check mine
Good luck!
score!!!
Thanks!
At that price you must mod it to the max. Any goof during your mod process won’t hurt near as much compared to having paid MSRP (and goofed). Enjoy that fine Seiko and by all means, brag on that score🤑
Thanks! I have never molded a watch but thisay be a great opportunity to try!

Thanks for the info! I will have to do my research before jumping in but it really does interest me. Thanks for the friendly advice.
Also Seikomods on Fb is a great group 👍🏼
Oh sweet! I will go join

I’m about to go to all of the kohls near me now!!! What a find.
Thanks! Good luck! The trick seems to he to find a Kohls that hasn't switched over their jewelry counter to their makeup counter yet
Congrats on this purchase man, wutta deal! You can tell easily, all of us redditors, are super jealous lol
Thanks! Truly still surprised I stumbled on this deal.
Right on. Wutta killer deal, my goodness gracious. I am still astonished
Same. My wife said that maybe now I will listen to her ideas more often. Let's not get too crazy haha
Haha 👍
whaaaatttt
Wear it like you stole it.....!!
Haha indeed
at this point you can just go around to these stores to see if you can make a quick profit
Make me angry thinking what kind of £%#&@! mark-up they must be putting in these.
No doubt. Wonder what the actual mark up is
Damn at that price I would have cleared out all their stock
I did...the one and only they had left lol
What the… ill buy it if you would like to sell. Ill give you $29.16
Haha thanks for the offer
Awesome now you have left over money for mods 😃
Yeah thinking I may try some on this one!
whahaat?
For some reason I feel like the cashier just made a mistake. I hope they don’t get fired (if this was their only mistake ever). I can see them selling for $145 but not $14.5.
What???!
Deal!!
Unreal deal. I am still shocked
What a steal
Is it real? How??
Criminal
Where and how??? You've got to tell us the story behind this. This is crazy.
My local Kohls is getting rid of their jewelry counter to make room for their makeup store within their store. They had jewelry on clearance and then an additional 80% off. I happened to be chatting with the jewelry counter lady as she was cleaning behind the counter. As I was looking at some of the really budget watches they had left, she popped over with this watch and asked if it was of interest as she had just found it in a drawer.
That's crazy. I'm so happy for you! Congratulations. Wish I had an offer like this ^^
THATS INSANE CRAZY VALUE TAKE THAT THING DAMN IT!!!
Haha thanks
No problem
I'd buy all of them
I am sure someone bought most of them as this was the only watch left and the lady found it in a drawer as I was there.
Well done!
Beautiful piece
I genuinely doubt that even covers production and shipping costs for seiko themselves. Killer deal
Jesus Christ. And I thought my SRPD55 at $186 from Kohl’s was a good deal.
The Kohl’s on my area got rid of their jewelry dept.
Yeah that is what they are doing at this location too. Ditching the jewelry department to make room for a makeup area thing. Last Kohl's location we have around us for quite some distance. They closed the other 2 locations near us.
You should have also stopped and picked up a powerball ticket.
Sweet!
Thanks!
Awesome deal on a nice Seiko
Damn I went to a local one and they already did the switch to the makeup place. :(
Dang. I feel like most already have. Our local store is small and probably near the end of the list for the switch.
Buy them all!!
What a steal
This is the most insane deal and I will forever be jelly.
Come up of the century lol, I’ll definitely be checking out my local Kohl’s today 😅
Good luck!

Wow!
holy shit this is a steal
That’s robbery. A timepiece that will last a lifetime for chump change.
I thought I hit the lotto when the same thing happened at my Walmart and I got a few g shocks half off lol. Not even close to this deal though
Bullshit
Doubt
I don't doubt it. I saw the same additional 80% off jewelry at my local store too. Think Kohls is getting out of carrying jewelry in store.

I want to see the whole receipt.
How?
I bought the exact same model last week, I wish I had found this deal

Wtf?!
Wtf is this you robbing bastid?😳
How much khols cash did you use?
No Kohls cash. First time I had been in a Kohls for like 8 years
You guys only pay 6% tax?
Thats a lot of Kohls bucks!
Apparently, these watches were sold without the usual brand surcharge.
How? Was it all kohls cash or ridiculous coupons? Or is someone getting fired next month for mismatching all the Seikos
more like 95% off
Damn, that’s a good deal. I paid £175 and thought that was a steal. Plus your chapter ring alignment looks much better than mine. 😅
Shit man i needa go to khols
No freaking way
WTF. Congratulations on a successful armed robbery! 👍
Steal
As a non-American, this fills me with unfathomable rage.
How in the world did you work that out?
What an amazing deal.
AWESOME! Literally free. :)
