Yes IWC possible to get 15-20% discount.
If money is not an issue, definately go for Mark16, IWC is in diferrent league from Longines.

with IWC U get better finish on the case, movement cannot see since its enclosed in a steel back.
with me I wouldn't get a entry level IWC, would go for the longines and save the money for higher end IWC.

hi all!
im new to this topic.... just want some opinion.....
lately i saw a Nautica watch model A40008G retailed at RM1548....
the seller can give me discount if i confirm buy....
the watch specs like this:-
movement=swiss movt.
case size=45mm++
bracelet=steel
can anyone tell me the true swiss movt spec? i noticed
that Nautica watches quite pricey (for me).....
i love the design,big dial and heavy weight watch.....
thanx in advance

Any pic of it?

to Guenhwyvar....
sori only small pic through google....
i need some opinion before i decide to buy....
this is will be my 1st expensive watch (more than 1k)
and im going to keep it forever

if not jadi to buy maybe im looking for victorinox

whats the selling price after discount
RM1548 is pricey at a glance, but then its a chrono.
harden mineral crystal, 46mm. I would like sapphire if its RM$1.5k
on the dial it says swiss movement, maybe assembled in far east, QC done in far east too.


this is smaller at 42mm but does give u sapphire and AR coating. swiss made too, meaning final watch is assembled in swiss.

I think it real swiss movement, but swiss movement also got many grades. Swiss movement doesn't mean anything actually.
If you like big watches, nautica is great. But really for RM1548 even you get 30% discount still pricey for a boutique watch.
Nautica famous for it's t shirt and jeans not watches actually.

Victorinox Swiss Army Dive Master 500 Mecha is a good buy maybe the cheapest watch on eta 2892 movement.

big watch non chrono maybe easier to find esp ~44mm

this victorinox....
Swiss Army Classic XLS MT price tag at RM3500++.....
but its over my budget for the time being hahahahha

swiss quartz I don't know if they have movement grades. I cannot find info on that.
I only know there is non COSC and COSC for quartz.

like u said Nautica is clothing brand. watch... expensive

since gOOsebeRRy only have love for quartz, chrono and big watches. there are not really much out there to choose.
just go with what U like. wear it and enjoy it!

&
http://www.orientwatchusa.com/fet0h001b-p-432.html

30% off plus a free watch now. thats a good buy. esp now its 30% off today's price not some jacked up prices.
I saw those deals before during Xmas, but its 50% off plus a free watch. Don't remember the prices after discount did not pay attention.
anyway not sure if the deals get better during Thanxgiving to Xmas season.
new model come out, they getting rid of older model.

U have to take into consideration whats the local price and the cost of using shipito.

have U given up on Stowa?

in view of the huge price gap... stowa is at the back of my head now...

focusing more on Orient....

local price is more 10%-20% after convertion

shipito cost is around 30usd = RM100

so after dividing the cost.. per watch is RM50-RM100 cheaper & yet i will getting 2 more free watch... But worried on which model & color...

Planning get this, any idea on How to deal with them and when reach malaysia would it be sent by normal post or poslaju? Sorry this my first time trying get watch online.

I purchased from them before, paid using Paypal, I think they accept credit cards too. Package was sent via Royal Mail, registered mail I think.

Good thing about CW is their 60 day return policy. Don't like the watch, just return it for full refund, postal at your cost.
