something to ask,why laco online store stating price in thousands?for example  "490,00 EUR",is it 490 EUR or 49k EUR whixh sounds  ridiculous?
German like to put ',' and not '.'.
We do 490.00 they do 490,00

QUOTE(deriku @ Dec 30 2010, 01:17 PM)
The listed price includes VAT, if your shipping address is outside of EU the VAT does not apply, which means you save 19% on listed price.
U save only 16%, VAT refund isn't full 19%

Shipping Method

yaya...the 60th anniversary model is much difficult to get and has better functions....
I don't think so, Orient USA is selling them at 50% off plus a free US$200 watch 2-3 weeks ago.
if that hard to get why the 50% discount, sell them at MSRP!
and yes they do hack and hand wind.

I was looking to get one a yr ago. I only found quartz, an alternative is to get a vintage watch and make some modification to the strap.
I was think to do that to hang the watch on my spouse handbag.

pocket watches are much too big else can get the Orient pocket watch. It is mech.

did U get it? a week ago only 2 left. They do go fast, when I posted there were 5. Its a great deal.

Yes man, the above post caught my eye and I decided to get this watch for my dad!

Is it hassle free to purchase it online? safe and reliable?

How do you guys proceed to purchase when everything is in german ??
U are asking on Laco? There is an English page. For those that don't use google translator.
if U get it direct thru manufacturer it is hassle free, safe and reliable.

always email them to start the ordering process.

QUOTE(veron208 @ Dec 30 2010, 09:25 PM)
Dear all pros and amatuers,

I was thinking to get a 3-5k mechanical watch preferrably ORIS range.
Any recommendation ?

I like the design of TT3 day date series with rubber straps.
Any one that own this model care to shed some lights ?
nothing really special with Oris. Oris had their case and straps made in the far east.
movement wise just ETA, they are moving to use Sellita. Sellita are cheaper and is ETA clone.
They use Elabore grade and don't really modify the movement.
paying for brand and design more than anything.

I own a Oris Big Crown, just send it for service. just note if U swim with your watch, U have to return to Oris to get water resistance checked out.
They do charge quite a bit for replacing the rubber gasket on the stem of the crown. By that I meant it cost me US$100+ to get it replaced, the crown and gasket is not stocked and need to be order from Switzerland. By that the price is pretty much controlled. U should get mech watch service every 4-5yrs.

u cannot compare ball and longines to Omega or Rolex.
Rolex inhouse movement, hold good value
Omega mod those movement, those on co-axle do not required servicing that freq.
Ball - unmod ETA like Tissot ot Hamilton
Longines does mod it but fit and finish not as good as Omega.

I think what he meant is that the title could survive just being The Watches Part 2 instead of The Watches Part 2(affordable watches) in which the latter part in bracket can be omitted since it will imply that there appears to be another thread which discusses about non-affordable watch or etc.

non affordable? if it is not affordable then how come ppl there are also buying?

hi guys i'm a newbie to watches. Recently wanna search for a decent watch (for my level la, i'm 18 years old). Max budget is 1.2k. Initially i'm interested in Seiko watches but heard of a friend of mine said that it's not worth buying seiko watches because it's overpriced since seiko is spending much more in advertising thus causing overpriced. Is it real?
anyway i'm interested in watches that's non-digital, battery-exchange-free (auto, moon phase, solar drive, whatever)...
Any suggestion would be appreciated... =)
*
well 1.2k of a seiko kinetic isn't over priced.

seem like you enjoy grand complication. with that Auto or mechanical is a definite no go.

try those Seiko Premier
http://www.seikowatches.com/products/premier/index.html

if U are seeking 1 complication.
try UHR.info the auto chrono is close to your budget, it is German with a swiss heart

not seeking complication alot of brands to choose from esp swiss made and auto.
