QUOTE(barca96 @ Feb 3 2011, 01:46 PM) Thanks for the recommendation. They are nice. The only thing that I don't like is that for every watch, there is a MADE IN CHINA words in the face and they are not small  trying to deceive yourself and others that its not a MIC watch. LOL Added on February 4, 2011, 1:49 amQUOTE(xngjn @ Feb 3 2011, 10:58 AM) i planing to buy my 1st watch. i looking for chronograph watch. my budget is 600 MYR. do u all have any suggestion? thank you Orient, Citizen, Seiko This post has been edited by patryn33: Feb 4 2011, 01:49 AM

It is a Seiko movement indeed, re-build groud up by Tag. Nice watch nontheless, with ok price as well. If you like it, get it.

Many sellers esp from SG offer it for auction, if you're lucky you may get one cheap. Added on February 9, 2011, 12:10 amAny Frederique Constant owners around? Saw a model going for 2.7k after 30% discount, I believe it's a Persuasion Moonphase model. Good price? Looks similar to the one in the link below but I'm not entirely sure as the price quoted seems low. http://www.frederique-constant.com/en/watch_FC-360M4P5.htmThis post has been edited by deriku: Feb 9 2011, 12:10 AM

I'm eyeing for the Engineer Master II world time, couldn't found any from local dealer. They have the diver world time but its too pricy. what do you reckon? 820 pound sounds reasonable?
