Seiko 5 auto<---auto means what actually...and I see this 21 jewel as well...not sure what all these means...=X

today i bought this with really cheap price

auto means automatic, no battery.
21 jewel today means little, just mean there are 21 synthetic rubies inside

oh...ok...hmmm hmm...auto sounds good...but looks like jewel is not much of a priority huh...?

Thanks

I'm looking at those, lets hope I find something to my liking

hey if i do come across something, will keep u in the loop.
do let us know if U find something U like.

ppl getting a Seiko5 never service them as it cost too much,.
break or something acting up just get a new watch.
changing a battery is easy and cheap.

do note auto watches are not as accurate as quartz

hey your laco is 42mm right?

I am thinking of ordering Flieger without logo (us$660).. thing is its 2824-2, though its nicely done with silver rotor.. kinda turn me off.

I would have got a Antea creme 39mm with far less money (us$375), not to mention I like the design too. no silver rotor and serial number not a big deal here.
the Antea 365 with Soprod A10 is another choice its smaller. I do have to Zenith sporto at the same size and I don't mind the small size.

decide to drop Flieger... now its btw Antea Creme and 365.... hmm.... guess I'll sleep on it for a few day and see..

i am now itching to get a new beater watch hmmm

Ya is 42mm.
The Stowa Fieger without logo is more expensive than with logo Paying extra for the silver rotor
Antea not a bad choice, simple and elegant design

shouldnt help an MU fan but never mind...just this once...

Ball-always associated with good value for money. tough and variety of design. Some like their design, some dont. but generally price is lower compared to other more heavily advertised Swiss made

Added on June 11, 2010, 3:21 pmhmmm...Swiss or Nippon?

whatever, you dont post the photos here...you're really intoxicate people with your shots...hehehe

lots of ppl want their Flieger thus Stowa can afford to jack up on prices even its using the same movement, may it be logo or no logo. case and all shouldn't be any different.
the only diff I see is the silver rotor.

Antea 365 is small.. thinking can pass to my kid when she grow up. thing is not sure how often will I wear a 36.5mm watch. cost of keeping movement running here runs about US$150. getting a higher end movement maybe more worth it to maintain it.
the regular creme is just US$370+.

Same here, not used to the watch lesser than 38mm nowadays. For watch for passing down, got to be my speedy for sure

patryn bro, i haven got my watch yet. royal mail passed to local postal service last saturday and i wonder who they are.

guise, what brands do you recommend i look at?

budget rm 900+-
analog
classic round face with leather strap
quartz or auto (??)

thts all..

depends if this weekend strike 4D or not hahah

heheheeh...sounds like you wear Breitling or Omega as your daily beater...

last Sat already reach local postal service, it can only be Pos Malaysia Berhad. wonder which office, since watch is already in malaysia shouldn't take long to get U. wonder what is the hold up... or ppl what coffee money? or stuck at customs waiting to clear?
hope U get it sometime this weekend or early next week. not sure what can U do at this pt

maybe U can ask experts here.. quite alot of ppl here shop online. chrisyen is one

Added on June 11, 2010, 9:30 pmwell, I am thinking of passing things down slowly when kid turn 12 or 13. U wanna pass down your speedy to a boy at 12yrs old? not the laco?
I just got my spouse try on a Zenith, at 36mm its large for a lady. for a 12yr old a 36mm maybe huge for a kid's wrist even for a boy, a gal generally have smaller wrist.
I'll be passing my quartz tag for sure, can let the kid bang around and not worry have to service the movement.

Still need to sleep on on for a couple of days and think about it.

go the page 1. christopher ward is 1. getting online U maybe have to check with alfredfx experience with regular post.
other brands usually ship DHL/Fedex, cost more but better tracking service.
Jap can try Seiko or Orient.

quartz alot to choose from. I not a big fan of quartz.. any brands U looking at?
besides classic round face, do u want a display back? date? water resistance 50 or 300m?

Nah, not until 21 year old or he knows how to appreciate watches

I am sure daddy love for watches may rubbed off on him at a very early age.
my baby gal enjoy stringing my tag on her arm and walk around.

BTW: spotted someone selling a ETA 2824 gold plated at ~us$100 on WUS. though U may wanna know that since u plan on upgrading the Laco
