As far as I know the 'K' in the model code means the model is assembled in Malaysia. 'Japan Movt.' means the movement inside is Japanese made. Not an issue unless you prefer Japan-made 'JDM' models.

boredatworkYup, you're correct. It's a bit hard to find information on Seikos because they don't have a product page for most of their watches. Seiko also likes to denote things by a certain "code."
K1 or "Movt. Japan" - Assembled in Malaysia with Japanese made movement. Meant for international sales. J1 or "Made in Japan" - Assembled in Japan with Japanese made movement. Meant for Japanese domestic sales.
The general consensus is that there is no difference in quality except for the print on the dial.

ChristopherJThe ones assembled in Malaysia tend to have quality control issues. Usually the chapter ring is not aligned properly. I know it's an issue with the SKX007K models, not sure if the Stargate has similar issues.
