I feel Orient is under-rated locally by many. Even their lower range (Mako, Mako II, etc) are great bang for the buck.

As for the watch above, here's a great review by Danny of MWF http://www.malaysiawatchforum.com/index.php/topic,9.0.html


Congrats. That's nice.

Mind sharing more info? I don't know much about the Premier range. Is that auto or quartz?

HOLY MOSES!

The pictures of the diver is soo beautiful! Sharp, very detailed. Gawd damn I feel like abusing my credit card right nao!

Edit: Should I swipe now think later? Oh mai...

Quartz movement dude. At first tot of getting burberry 1, after saw this model in FHM magazine..there goes my $$ to Seiko.

Go for it

$15 reach Msia in 3days? For real?

Now where's the Orient's service/repair rep here in Malaysia?

Edit: And with International50 coupon I can get 50% off.

^Is 50% the highest discount?

I guess. At least for international purchases with International50 coupon. There's also 60% less, for a purchase of 15+ watches with FriendsandFamily coupon. I got this info from their automated email to me just nao.

I think those 49% + free watch is a better deal than the 50% off

Orient Royal watches are very expensive, cheapest starts at ~6k

so orientusa ships international now?

I guess. The shipping cost is quite attractive, at least compared to my previous international shipping cost I used to pay last time. US60 from US&A to KL. At US15 that's yummy.

I doubt it, I used my US address and its showing me the same rate.
no heard of orientusa shipping direct, always have been shipto.com

Without doubt that is the cheapest price I've seen so far. Sg Wang selling it for 3.5K.

That's a nice looking GMT.

I've bought straps from the US and it costs US12 for registered mail. So I doubt for watches it's US15. But if u went ahead and paid, I wonder what they would do.

hi to all our watch enthusiasts here. im a proud owner of a Seiko 5 (graduation gift), and i now would like to expand my collection, with a simple dress watch.

have stumbled upon a particular Seiko dress watch online and fell in love with it. was just wondering if any of you have seen or worn this model before?
if yes, anything to share of it?

Seiko SKK649P1

I'm the least suited to give my opinion as I don't own a single dress watch but I'll give my 2 cents worth.

I could give a lot of negative comments on the watch purely from the looks of it (and that's only bcoz I dont like small sized dress watches). Maybe some others here who own dress watches could give their opinion.

I do think that it is an unbelievable price if it is indeed sapphire crystal.

But most important thing is you mentioned that you fell in love with it. That's the deal for me. As long as you love the watch, dont care what people say. That's how I approach watches anyway.

hey, out of topic question here,

when i shake my watch (SPORK), i could hear da sound from its engine clearly, is tat any prob wif tat?

There is a rotor that spins to power the movement when you shake the watch. On some watches it's louder. I have not paid attention to the spork but it is quite normal that it is the sound of the rotor spinning.

Hi, I have this Seiko chronoghraph 7T92,
it was a gift from my late father during year 2006/07, cant remember,

The stop watch hand need to be re adjust, I think maybe cos I wear this watch near magnetic field area..
Last time, during my practical (non destructive test) class, I forgot to remove the watch while perform the magnetic particle inspection,
My fren saw all the hands turns very very fast.. hahaha

The watch still function normally after that, only the stopwatch got problem, when reset, the 1/20 and minute hands does not go to 0..
