Biggest watchmaker in China.
Chinese been Chinese, QC still is hit and miss for this price range of watches.
But cost RM600++ with mechanical chrono, that's no brainer.

Am seriously thinking of buying this from one of the Japanese online dealers.



But it's kinda expensive at RM1.4-1.5k. I'm also afraid they might be out of stock. Do Seiko models get discontinued quickly or do they have a long run? This model has been out since 2008.

really wanted a watch but CW really make me dissappointed for letting me wait for 2 weeks without any prior notice....i think i would not buy from CW anymore..haiz...sad

can go for UHR! auto 7750, clean chrono, leather

plz correct me if i m wrong. UHR is german brand?

yes

UHR as a brand name is very hard to google for.
Uhr means clock or watch in German.

nice. ocean 7 looks pretty interesting but i fell for the tissot visodate. gonna try to visit some watch store when i have time.

need all the bros help here a bit.. wat's do u guys think abt this russian watch brand Poljot.. saw sum design in tropicana city mail and it actually looks good.

i m lookin for a watch (movement doens't matter) with brown leather strap and I,II,III etc for the "watch face".. anyone have any design in mind. budget ard 1k.. try not so stretch it.. hehe

Red Army is overpriced, that's what I heard.
White dial Roman numerical, Steinhart Marine Watch.

yeah.. read abt it steinheart on v2.. but the "watch face" dun rly suit me.. wat's the correct term for "watch face" anyway?

was lookin at this http://store.emporioarmaniwatches.com/en_U...magePath=AR0645

but too bad is a designer watch..

Watch face = dial

nothing wrong with fashion watch, as long as you like it, since you don't care about movement.

Hi all,

Has anyone ever owned or thought of buying EPOS watches?

how's the performance and is it a good brand?

if you like that one on emporio, maybe you will like this

http://www.amazon.com/Tissot-T41148353-Loc...h/dp/B000JKWXCO

they have the leather strap version. not so sure about the price though.

Does anyone know a shop that sells watch spare parts? I'm looking for an 18mm buckle similar to the one shown here:

http://cgi.ebay.com/18mm-Heavy-Duty-Swiss-...=item1c18780b32

I've been a few watch shop, but they don't sell watch buckle, or they don't have the "flat" type like in the link above. Appreciate any suggestions on this.

Epos is a good brand. Just not well marketed.
U can see pics of some Epos own by forumers.

silencer. he got his epos online thru watchseller
