Thanks, bro but any idea how to bought the stuff from oversea. Newbie here

Very easy, not much different from local online purchase.
1. Saw what you like.
2. Email the seller.
3. If price and terms ok, then pay either by paypal, credit card, bank wire etc
4. Voila!

Further information, you can read their FAQ and Shipping and Handling.

Hi guys,

First of all please allow me to praise this fantastic trade. I have never owned a watch in my life (and I'm 26!) and have recently got interested in buying a watch.

My first choice was a Victorinox but after reading and going through this thread with a magnifying glass (there might have been some selective reading but I enjoyed every word), I stumbled upon the Oris BC3 DLC.

I saw the price in Mid Valley and it costs about RM3.1k. I'm not sure if Oris is a good brand per-say but it looks like a watch that I want, simple and clean looking.

Like everyone, i want my moneys worth. So could you guys please advise if the Oris BC3 DLC or if Oris is a good brand for a watch?

Thanks so much in advance. Please if there is any way I can contribute to this thread (with my 1.5% of knowledge of watches!) please do tell me.

Wow, as expected, the feedback was brilliant and way beyond what I was hoping for.

Thanks guys and after much consideration, I've set my priorities on buying the Oris (despite the detailing which i kind of get a grasp. Oris has lazy designers!)

The lowest I got was RM3.1k. Sadly, I can't read Chinese but I saw the pricing to be NT21k which converted should be about 2.2k/2.3k. How much would shipping cost?

Use google chrome for translation.
Drop them a mail and they will quote you in USD inclusive handling and shipping.
Myself and patryn have dealt with them.

Pat n ck77,
Interested in a Damasko.
I know World of Watches at OMK carry the brand but how's d pricing?
And if buying online is cheaper, any recommendations?
Thanks

Bro, WWII is getting the stock from Gnomon Singapore.
Direct buy from Gnomon is cheaper.

Went around looking for another rubber strap watch... and came across THIS...

Noticed it's based on Sellita movement (Sw200) with 26 jewels... any thoughts on this compared to say the ETA 2824-2?

Appreciate any comments/thoughts on this model in general.

Oh and anyone know of any shops in the klang valley area offering discount on Oris higher then 30%?  notworthy.gif

Sellita is the clone movement of ETA.
ETA no longer supply its movement outside Swatch Group soon.
Thus, lot of companies are switching to Sellita movement. Including Tag Heuer.

No replies to e-mails...

Ya, that's what I read in forum also.
Minimal staff and slow in communication.
More so you need to wait for their prodcution.

Got reply frm Damasko liao...
I guess i was using the wrong general e-mail.
For orders and enquiries: nadja@damasko.de
Got reply within a day...
Shipping to Malaysia is.... ready for it.... 120euros!!!
I thought after spoonfork's days of ordering direct frm Damasko, maybe the prices got adjusted...
He siad that it was 120euros.
Should have just taken his words for it...
Now I'm still calculating the costs between WWII, Gnomon or Damasko direct.
And.... I need Funding!!!  lol
*
Then Gnomon should be more or less same cost?
Ready stock some more.
