Thanks
It's amazing how versatile the Speedy is. It'll look good in either bracelet, leather or NATOs (some like it on mesh too, but not really my cup of tea).
Next in line would have to be one of them NASA velcro straps...

Yes that's right. and thanks for the compliment

i think got some info in this thread..but you need to browse through one by one...
but if you like aviation, sifus here will advice you on Lacos or perhaps Archimedes...more `original' pilot design...

how much did pay for it? if U don't mind sharing?
most likely its an ETA 2824-2.

thinking of letting go my Hamilton Khaki Chrono and get a Guinand.
saw WUS have someone selling a similar watch for US$600. I am thinking of letting it go at US$500.

well...i missed that sale at Hour Glass Lot 10 right .... i found out about it during the last day of their sales...and can't make
it all the way to KL.... (too bad)


what is the current retail price for a brand new PO and the Speedmaster ??

I paid SGD875 for it, wonder if its worth the money but I like it.

PO and the moonwatch (3570.50) should be retailing for about RM12,500.

most impt U like it!
no pt getting a watch that don't like.

any suggestion for below rm550?

and wish its not easily get scratch or break, especialy the glass/crystal of the watch...

at this price U can get a mineral crystal watch or sapphire coated on mineral crystal.
its best U get those sapphire coated on mineral crystal.

it would be a big list. U may want to be a little specific

might want to try Alba's 3rd collection, around your budget and comes with Sapphire glass

erm and..wish for leather band

any more suggestion?

thanks.

cyew86, how will they state if they're saphire glass?

well, it's stated on the watch itself
and the parent company is Seiko, i doubt that they would allow false advertising

Certain it is
Hey, I'm thinking the NASA velco too. You opt for shorter or longer version?
Maybe we could do a bulk purchase

owh okay. where can i get alba in malaysia then? and.. do u have any other suggestion?

the last i saw City Chain was carrying the latest models, around RM700 with 25% discount. but i noticed that you prefer leather strap, their flagship models come with stainless steel straps

Hmm..not very fond of city chain...feel that their watches are priced quite expensively even after discount...

any nice shops to recommend?

Previously i just bought Casio and Seiko...these are quite commonly found...i bought my Seiko 5 last year from an old shop in Penang...the boss quite nice and the price they offered me is about rm150 cheaper that what city chain offered...
but the highest end watch they have is Citizen and Seiko...have to look elsewhere if want swiss watches...

Is there a shorter or longer version? I was only aware of one which is 290mm.
I won't be getting it so soon though. Want to give my NATOs more wrist time first.
Besides, I don't think 2 straps is enough to be considered as bulk
