the symbol for less than 500 is <500..get your symbols right...

1st of all get over it guys... < > next time write in words best.
when I 1st saw I still think more than 500.
some ppl think in a different way. I did met 1 ppl who thinks thats lesser sign.

anyway with a budget of 500 RM if don't want Japan brands as they are not really good. U think 500 alot of money to get good watch?
seiko mind you makes GREAT watches. in fact their Grand Seiko maybe better than Rolex!
even Tag Heuer use a Seiko movement design to make their 1887 movement.
Casio make solid quartz watches, can take more shock than those Ball watches.

Got the Seamaster Aqua terra. The one with the grey teck face is sold out in HK !

Does anyone here think that Casio watches (in particular the Edifice series) should be better recognized as a quality watches? They are nicely designed and watch quality is top notch, albeit being quartz.

I own 2 from the series, one is PVD ion-plated, which IMHO has one of the best PVD coatings out there (better than other Japanese brands). Been wearing it regularly for a year and I barely notice any scratches on the watch.

I have a Nighthawk and a Monster as well, both great watches themselves; and I have no doubt that the Casios are able to stand their own against these classics.

Should Casio be included in top Japanese watchmakers in addition to Seiko, Citizen and Orient?

anybody know where can i get good offers for g-shock ?..plan to get a mudman g9000ms-1

FYI Orient today is part of Seiko group.
Seiko group sales figure is the smallest among the big 3.

what happened to seiko...their sales dropped tremendously...

for rm500 it's casio MDV102. after reading the review, i bought 3units, the kids & myself.
it's quartz, well build, value for money (for me lah)

it's not a matter what you wear, what you have is more important. my 2 cents.

Hi guys i have the Casio Edifice EF-524, would like to ask advice from forumer, how do i clean my watch? there are those black thingy *i assume it's dirt* stuck in between the strap.

Another thing, I'm planning to get myself a nicer watch, would like to ask advice from u sifus, is the Bonia Tesoro watch worth buying at rm1.5k?

hey guys...saw a 2nd hand arbutus watch...
leather strap, automatics chrono, perpetual calendar, sapphire crystal...selling at rm200...
is it good?

Use a brush or toothbrush and water to clean it.

oo..alright, thx for the tips..time to get a new toothbrush for my watch xD

not heard of Bonia Tesoro. Fashion brand I presume. Did a quick google on it no idea where its made in.
for rm1.5K I wouldn't go for a fashion house brand other than Cartier/Chanel/Bvlgari/Chopard/Montblanc
go to page 1 post 1, U can find lots of watches in the range of 1.5k

totally agreed. some people buy watch for fashion, but I think its not worth paying so much for the design/looks or simply for the brand *cough cough B&R cough*

Tag Heuer Carrera and Rolex Submarine(green)...which one do you guy will choose??and why..

anyone know what is the glass's material for Guess's watches? if it is mineral, it will get scratch easily right..?

Rolex sub for sure. Simple, iconic watch and retain value.

Should be mineral. Not so easily get scratch la. Good thing is cheap to replace than sapphire.

no brainer! of course a Rolex Sub!
the reasons same as CK77

Thanks. So.. do u think i shud get guess watch? or can i get better watch with that kind of price? around 300-500?

Don't get a Guess watch. I'm sure many here will tell u the same, that is, try not to get a fashion brand watch if u can help it. It's better to go for specialised watch makers. i got a very nice Orient for ~rm350. It's quartz but good enough for me.
