The title is not apt at all. When the watches are not affordable as a time telling machine. A poor man could do well reading time with just a RM99 CASIO. So whats gives with the "poor" in the title? You mean you like to accept that beggars do really earn a lot to finance homes and cars just with begging as a job? Since when poor means you could afford a RM1K watch?

Good one patryn 
Please update the following pammy homage in 1st post.

You ask for it. First review in thread 2 

And lastly, compulsory wrist shot. 


Very limited production due to parts availability (or financial difficulty), stocks usually sold off within days.
Laco, one of the 5 original makers of b-uhr, Make in Germany, albeit Japanese movement, EUR166.39 ~RM730 with free FedEx shipping.
Though not as historically correct spec as WUS LE, but I still think that this baby is a steal 

bro, can recommend 4 me where can i buy longines and get the best discount? hopefully can get 25% or above...

it took them around 3 days to issue an email saying they shipped the item.
U can't really track it cause it via Royal mail

Tell me about it  That's reason for putting me off and long waiting time.

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.

Oh you mean we can email Fedex and creat an account? Is that easy?
That's something new to me.

hi bro patryn, i remembered u mentioned of collectorstime bfore, have u ever dealt with time?

also wondering if the shipping price from online purchase store high...

went to a pre-owned watch shop yesterday, and again got poison...Graham, Chopard...but cant afford 

Yeah partryn33, agree with you it might sounded a bit like too fickle minded, but actually this is my first time buying an expensive watch and I didn't doo much research on this (plus I think the salesmen have did a tremendous job in convincing me into buying the watch).

Should have read around the forum and shop around more to find the perfect automatic watch for me. Anyway thank you very much for the info. I might put up an ad for the watch there.

Also if you can spread out to anybody who wanted to own an ORIS automatic watch at a cheaper price from retail maybe 200 - 300 ringgit cheaper, can PM me. As for the products, do not have to worry as it is still in the box, with warranty card, and brand new...

Thanks guys..

generally yes. orient<orient star<orient star royal/royal orient

Orient discounted Orient Star Royal... only Royal Orient now.
not sure about their line up in Asia. can't go wrong with a workhorse ETA 2824. don't have to worry about build quality here.
movement grade maybe better or equal to CW. but I am sure Doxa decorate their movement unlike CW.

they are famous of these kinda of diver watch the one your gf bought isn't what they are renown for. the cult in watchuseek etc are all about the below watches.

I think the start on 1st Jul, 12 hrs into the sale about 70-80% watches are out of stock = sold out!

orange diver craze in asia or the world? 

Doxa is more popular in N. America than the rest of the world.
