Just been looking at Seiko's on Creation watches, does anyone know why pretty much every other watch is "not available for sale"?

Perhaps they are going the same way as Singapore based Sky Watches who have had the following clause on their supply T & C's for quite some time now.Originally Posted by scenicroute79
"We do not ship these following range of Seiko collections to EU countries: Grand Seiko, Prospex, Astron, Velatura, Premier, Sportura, Ananta"
Seiko are continuously trying to enforce a geographical supply restriction policy so they can continue to adopt different pricing strategies for different regions.
This entirely. However, although it was some time ago on the skywatches site you could still order prospex etc models even though they stated they weren't available to EU countries. Haven't tried it with Creation.
It doesn't really matter if these Singapore based dealers are being a bit funny about selling to the EU as we can still buy direct from Japan from the likes of SeiyaJapan.com and shopping in Japan.net amongst others.
Wasn't aware of these alternatives and not planning to pull the trigger on anything any time soon but when I do I will shop elsewhere if I can't get what I want from Creation. Shame as I've always enjoyed buying from them.
I think if and when you see pictures of something that interests you, just google it or check e.bay.com as there are plenty of dealers including a few that are happy to sell Japanese Domestic Models to anywhere.
It's nothing to do with not selling to EU countries or anything like that with Creation. It's just that Creation sell out of popular watches really, really quickly!
Creation are a hugely popular vendor worldwide now and their stock simply goes very quickly.
I think Creation's keen pricing has a lot to do with it as well, not to mention their customer service and efficiency. I have nothing but good things to say about both them and Skywatches.
Currently waiting for a restock of the Seiko 5 SNK063J5, they had them back in recently but I got cold feet due to the number of packages I'd received, sorry, Mrs. MST had noticed I'd received prior.
Have you dealt with their customer service, what was it like? I first thought you wrote this in an ironic way, but I see you mean it.
Indeed, I had one dealing with their CS many years ago & have never purchased from them since. I’d rather go elsewhere, as they seemed to not give a toss once they had completed the transaction.

Same same.
I have once fairly recently, a g-shock ordered and an empty g-shock box arrived. Parcel didn't look tampered with in any way. Bizarrely Creation wanted a photo of the empty box and packaging which obviously proved nothing as I had opened it, but refunded me in full. Took about a week, which given time zone differences between messages back and forth wasn't bad.
