I'm liking this one. hmm.. a swiss brand. but today most watches aren't made in Switzerland. iirc its made in the far east. quartz movement most likely miyota japanese quartz movement. they make good value for money watches, esp U are paying under US$100 for it.

Added on June 12, 2010, 10:02 pmQUOTE(patryn33 @ Jun 11 2010, 09:23 PM) 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? oh man, i just saw ur this post. I'm a fan of simple designs. Currently drooling over the Stowa Antea creme. That website is the only place i can get it right? This post has been edited by Cheenoo: Jun 12 2010, 10:02 PM

In the home page, you need to click on "Europen Customers" as Stowa would not waive VAT for Malaysia and Singapore buyer, unless you are having a Fedex account to pick up the watch for you. http://www.stowa.de/

thats what I learnt too, just create 1 and email stowa directly to place the order. don't have to go thru the website.
Cheenoo order now and you may get watches by Sept 2010, else it maybe a long wait.
European VAT is always high. 16% is a norm.. I heard they do have Luxury tax, if u are buying branded stuff.
