Jap quartz.. U maybe able to find at lower price. try citizen!

for auto.. and U want swiss at ~ RM$900+ try the brands I list on page 1, post 1

stowa can only get online. place and order now, U don't have to pay. when watch is ready, they will inform U to pay. They kinda make watch to order!
its a little out of your budget closer to RM$1.2k + shipping, if u are planning to spend rm900, I would get this Antea creme

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.

LOL no problem man..
yes it would be EUR$545.

still can't decide? whats your list now?
or the cost is the one that is stopping u?

I meant create account on Fedex http://fedex.com/my/registration/account.html

and email Stowa to order, that easy

Antea will be there, but it will cost more.. due to inflation and SWATCH group jacking up those prices on movement.
if EUROPE Econ recover, EUR gets stronger than it also naturally means it cost more.
Today Euro is weak and econ is bad, so kinda good timing.

Added on June 14, 2010, 8:40 amaccording to ck77 experience. Malaysia no tax on watch (import).
usually no Tax when U getting overseas. buy from USA, UK and ship to Malaysia no tax.
buy from Germany, I got tax from http://www.watchstyle.com/
ck77 didn't get tax from Laco.
Stowa is a mix bag depending how U do it.

not dealt with them b4, but alot of positive review on WUS etc.
I know someone that dealt with them, the shipping is reasonable (shipping to SG).

so which watch is on your radar?

chopard mile? I like the LUC collection.. the rest kinda over priced.

try thewatchery.com or ashford.com, I have shop with them b4.

no man... its at EUR$312 + cost of shipping.. and also depends on exchange rate at the time they deliver the watch.
shipping by Fedex/DHL I think EUR$20+, thats more like rm1.4k. worst case maybe 1.5K, or extremely lucky due to fall in EUR maybe 1.3k

if u have a fedex account it will cost U EUR$312, else its EUR$350

seriously, 1 week and u sick of it. abit cheaper than retail, if u wanna sell it to 2nd hand place. u will lose at least 10-30% from the price u paid. watches is like car, sign the paper and bring home for even a day and resale value tend to drop as if u own it for 6mths

try sites such as, maybe U don't get to lose much

U order it? or still waiting for nearly new item?

I wonder if alfredfx receive the C5. he did said it arrived in Malaysia on Sat.

ivanliew (malaysian) got a C5 back in Jul, U can check out his review on the watch and how long it takes for him to get it.

lets hope alfredfx give his review on his C5 when he collect it from the post office.

if i cannot get hold of a nomos, screw it i am getting a JLC Atmos clock. since i am cheapo only willing to pay ~US$800 for a nomos any way.
a Stowa Antea 365 is cheaper..but i really love to have a Atmos.

lol.. google always helpful

collectors never like the dials and hands relume.. vintage look is very impt.

1st of all whats your automatic watch? brand and model.

say its 90secs fast total after 7 days. is it consistently 12-13sec fast every 24hr?
or is it 24secs 1 day, -5sec the next etc and somehow it add up to 90secs fast?

if its the later thats not normal.
otherwise, depending on kind of movement inside that maybe acceptable.
if its a Rolex generally thats unacceptable.
A Seiko/Russian/China watches that maybe acceptable.
