Ball... upto 20+yrs (?) lume self powered. So... 4 hrs... u say lor.

Anyway Ball watches are too big for my hands... was so itching to get the Eng Hydrocarbon Magnate too... but the watch looks liek a tank (built like one too..).

how bout the watch on previous post ( my post i mean )

most watches are applied with Superluminova, with enough lights charging (UV) it can glow. nice glow would depend on how well/even they are applied.

chrono watches come with lume for sure.
swiss chrono try

Seiko Lume maybe better than Laco, Steinhart.
driver watches lume are typically better than dress or pilot watches

o.o laco or steinhart worth buying?

how do you determine worth?

urm ... lumes? and style ... im of those casual kinda guy ... dont really like bulky watch but steinhart really catch my eyes and it almost within my budget ... hurm ... wonder if i could get a gud bargain ... hurm

yeah I owned one for a few days now. so far so good. It does use seagull movement like patryn said but there are more choice in term of dial.
Again chinese watches the QC is a fit and miss. so all the best with it. I was lucky to get the good one.
For website you can go to what patryn has said and take a look. another option would be to go to www.taobao.com and use a taobao agent. there are a few agents in the forum. google around with it.

PS: if you are getting it. pay attention to the upcoming CNY. Might disturb your shipment.

Never realized there were 'taobao agents' around. Perhaps I should be one

Do note however that an article once stated that over 80% of items sold on taobao are fake (although I doubt there are as many fake Seagulls as the 'Swiss' branded watches)..

so no AD on Laco?

No

Hi all sifu,

I was impressed by liat-liat post pic abt Parnis watch.
So I decide 2 go bidding on 1 of the model from online. But Im not sure izzit authentic or not... How does Parnis watch in packaging?

Condition:
New without tags: A brand-new, unused, and unworn item that is not in original retail packaging or may be missing original retail packaging materials (such as the original box or bag). The original tags may not be attached.

Warranty:
Non-Factory Warranty

Parnis is too cheap to replicate

All i got from the seller is a black box that is looked like that its made of leather. and the watch. the watch is wrapped with plastic protector and thats it.

I agree with ck77 that parnis is too cheap to replicate.

So far lurking on watchuseek forum about chinese movement watch there wasnt much concern about the authenticity. They are more worried about the quality because it is sort of hit and miss.

Oic, TQ all sifu~

I guess bcoz Im bidding instead of buying now hence the watch kinda cheap which only cost USD50+
So I'll jst sit tight & wait 2 win my bid tt's all~

Btw, Im still prefer Liat-liat model
How was it feel on hand? Light? sturdy or not?
Do u think of changing its leather? Coz it looks kinda... hmm... well not really a nice leather

yeah.. i m so in luv wif the parnis watch u posted a few page ago.. but kinda worried abt the quality as i understand u can't expect too much from a rm 200++ watch.. might take the gamble n go bid for 1.. haha..

it does feel good in my hand. Not too light not too heavy. Just right. It does feel sturdy but i dont think it can take much beating. dont drop it from tenth floor or run it over with a car but again its personal preference.

movement is very noisy though. you can hear the thing spin from 10-20cm away. some said its the ball bearing.

Leather definitely bad, thinking to change it but still have to wait, currently with CNY coming up there aren't much choice.

if you like the dial and worry about the RM200 price tag go for this.
