I think Seiya is shutting down.

[Henryj]

Two extended vacations, and now shut down “ We will be suspending the site temporarily to take a break for refreshing our minds and bodies. The site will be reinstated after we feel fully refreshed.”

[Baffo]

That would be sad, he is a great guy and stand up businessman

[Chocodove]

Never bought from him, but have browsed many many times. It seemed his assortment kept getting smaller and smaller.

I still miss Chino selling Seikos to the US. I loved that guy and he was my go to.

[toxicavenger]

Damn, Seya helped me out with some JDM stuff in the past. I hope things work out for him.

[Torrid]

I hope he's doing ok. I've been stalking the site to see Tunas come back, but his inventory just keeps dropping as if he's working his way out of the business.

[TSD]

That’s a shame. Seiya-san is awesome. Bought my first JDM MM300 from him. He took one of mine to Seiko Japan to resolve a dial issue outside of warranty, just because he sold it new. And I hadn’t even bought it from him!

Chino and his lo-fi site + broken English was the best. I loved those guys.

Maybe it’s just what it says. A break to refresh themselves whether spiritually or physically. No need to read into it. Sometimes one needs a break. Been there.

[Djf1978]

Hopefully he isnt shutting down. Bought my sbdx017 from him, was a great experience.

Plus Japanese can be strange business wise - most dedicate themselves to providing service. I'm married to one, btw, and they can be weird.

Same. They were my second pick after Seiya.

[justsellbrgs]

Seiya has had some "stress related" breaks in the past. He may need some time away from watches. And I think his primary career is IT related.

[ezcheese]

Yeah Seiya, Chino and Higuchi were my JDM go-tos!

I bought a Grand Seiko strap from Seiya this year and he included a great spring bar tool that I have used far more than the fancy pants Bergeon one I have.

I’d agree. We just talked about doing something like this message on our web page when we take the next RV trip rather than hauling around cases of soaps and candles plus shipping supplies and a label printer.

I agree, and I hope it’s just a brain break reset. Seiya has always been my go to.

Good stuff. Show us on the doll where Uncle Joe touched you.

Usually the first post means you buy pizza….
