HI Chinoz,

I may provide some help if your carrera is still the same design...

1) Lift up the buckle.
2) Pull/adjust the strap
3) Unlock the buckle to hold the strap position and you're done.

Simple as that...





Hope this helps

Thanks guys
nando, yes the price is after VAT
kelvinftg, yea the Stowa is a real beauty. Things that put me off are their unwillingness of VAT waiver and waiting times.
'-_- as mentioned earlier, watches are duty free here.

Hey, can Tissot be discuss in this thread? Wonder how much the price back in Malaysia now?

Hi hguys, recently looking for watch which is not too expensive. Eying on seiko criteria SNDA1P1, seiko SNDB23P1, and casio edifice EFE-500D-1AV. Between this watches, which one is more worth to buy? Reliability, technology and function wise? Not much info from their website. Really noob in watches.

thats not really true. I used to believe that changing a movement = getting a new watch.
today a ETA 2824 (top grade) is at US$118
a miyota 8215 is just US$37. considering the watch cost US$211, U wouldn't wanna throw it out.

Superluminova glows brightly when its charges, but it get dimmer with time.
I don't look at my time immed when I go from daylight to total darkness, usually its after sometime. hard to see anytime by that time.
try that in a theater after 1hr into the show/movie.
With age, the glow just isn't there. its also hard to find qualified ppl to do a good relume job.

Added on May 9, 2010, 9:56 amit would be easier if U post links to those watches.
I tried to google but they are not showing up. only found the casio watch, the casio the dial look messy to me. Seiko and Casio don't have to worry about reliability. quartz watch like these feel like wearing a mini PC. maybe u can give us a break down of the full functions and the cost.

russian 3133 chrono for some reason can be pretty pricey. iirc many cost over US$500, if its from Poljot it would cost more, since they are russian 1st watch factory.

Speedbird is a nice homage, will add that on the 1st page. standard grade movement, hope they do regulate it and not just drop in.

Added on May 11, 2010, 8:09 amgreat look but price pt is higher at EUR$630 (VAT), to bad in Malaysia need to pay the VAT.

I like the Antea 365 on Soprod A10. EUR$620 (VAT inclusive), b4 VAT EUR$521. should take adv since I am in States

I like the Marine Original too, its base on Durowe 7440, german made based on Unitas 6498-1, but its super expensive!
