OMG!?? I didnt check the forum for 2 weeks and now is v3 d, gratz gratz!!! Btw, i saw few ppl are interested in CW watches but really upset by their payment problem. Luckily i didnt encounter this prob as i was using credit card to purchase too. So sad to hear that coz their watches are really value for money (IMO). Still very happy and satisfy with my C8 MK II Saving money for my next collection, maybe ML or ball? or maybe stowa

Thank you for all the suggestions. Anyway, I have come to accept that the clasp is MEANT to be like that. Pics that I have taken frm an online dealer show the same finishing for the EP HW line and the Chronomaster line. EP HW.  Chronomaster.  What strikes me as abit odd is that the Chronomaster line is at least twice the price of the EP HW... I wonder what will an owner of the Chronomaster feel when he checked the watch in detail... Maybe the only way is to buy a brand new leather strap with a different styled clasp. That'll settle the problem.

For those who are interested with chinese movement. It's called Parnis Portuguese Power Reserve Automatic. As you can see from the photo, you can probably guess which watch its trying to copy. Chinese Seagull automatic movement. ST25 if I am not mistaken The movement is very noisy I must say. But nevertheless, still enjoys it very much.

Very cheap and for that price plus automatic movement, you just cannot complain. I recently acquired it in China. google "parnis" that's the brand. you will see a large homage collection.

Hey all sifu here,

Since it has date and day display, I notice that when the time reach 12am, the date change slowly, but the day does not move all at, when the time reach 2am, the date moved half. It that normal or something wrong with my watch ? It's a Quartz watch.
