Then erm any other else that you guys can recommends?? Below are the criterias...
1. Budget : RM1400 - RM1700
2. Swiss-Made Preferable, or other as well...
3. Mechanical, not battery-operated
4. The "clock" part preferable to look simple, as in won't have so many "smaller clock" inside, but if it looks cool then its alrite ^^...but able to show me day and date[optional]
5. I'm a 19 years old male with thin wrist[as im thin >_<], so won't want smtg tat might too mature for me..
6. Erm if possible waterproof...need not to be "very" water proof as i wont wear those to diving or even shower
7. The numbers and the hand in the watch glows in dark
8. I wear watch 24/7 even when sleep except shower
9. Leather Strap, not Metal Strap***

And also, please do suggest me where can I get those watch in KL[im a kl ppl] ..

Thanks ^^

why are you duplicating your post? deriku did give U some leads, or look at page 1 post 1.
U only want it get it thru shops right?
swiss made at 1700 only swatch, tissot, swiss army maybe Hamilton then it maybe a mechanical not auto

value for money deals, only online.
item 9 on your list is easy: strap issue can be easily handled.

for those not willing to get online, can travel to SG and get brands like Archemde etc but expect to pay more $$ than direct.

Perhaps write a short review here if you do get a CW..?

People who post "what watch would you recommend" posts here should really consider buying online. As patryn said, many a good deal can be found on the Bay or forums. But as usual, do your homework before making the purchase to minimize risk (eg product description, seller reputation, shipping options etc).

My last 5 watches were purchased online and all were delivered without issues.

19 years old, get a Swatch.
Got "small clock" inside, but look cool. Use it to time your exam time, how long you waited for your gf, etc.

Christopher Ward comes with 60:60 policy..

60 days return if you don't like the watch and decides to return 1, and 60 months of warranty..
you only lose shipping fees which is fair in my opinion..you go out to shopping centres for watch also need to pay for petrol, toll, parking etc...

u must have misread on the 2 timezone. do read it over.
http://www.christopherward.co.uk/men/sport...60-tri-skk.html

get it thru UK site, its around RM$1400 shipping included.

ETA 2824, don't know the grade maybe elabore. if so please check 1st page post 1 for info on time precision.
quartz may lose a few secs over a mth, mechanical even rolex can easily lose or gain 1 sec over 24hrs, badly regulated it can lose over 30secs!

the band is leather have lots of holes. if really don't fit just punch another hole! all leather band is pretty standard.

regarding discounts for places online??
for 1400rm try looking for a swiss made mechanical after discount!
