QUOTE(patryn33 @ Mar 22 2011, 07:27 AM) Mido used alot of Top grade movements. thanks..the UHr is value for money indeed....Any idea what is the price of the above watches locally? Here is a Msia online store prices http://www.orolus.com/cgi-bin/ShoppingCart...celli+Gent+Hand rose gold, my guess is around US$3K. The all dial steel complication is already selling at US$2.4k in grey. get a UHR (posted a page or 2 eariler) on same movement maybe 1 grade lower the cost is at EUR$710 or ~US$1K. Added on March 22, 2011, 10:06 pm QUOTE(wshoh @ Mar 22 2011, 10:49 AM) @nando Thanks for the PM. Yeah, sure was a long read. ck77 and patryn33 are indeed the experts here - very grateful for the many insights over the posts. thanks for those online sites..never seen them before......Have seen the Mido Moonphase (1321 base ETA Valjoux 7751) and agree that it is a very nice watch. In fact, stumbled upon this which was posted in the forum here earlier which convinced me that a Mido is probably most suitable as a beginner piece, for me. As they say, taste is subjective and we are all really only limited by monetary considerations! Needless to say, more complications, more moolah. Hmm...currently still steadfast with my inclination over plain dial with PR. This thread is 'poisonous'  I guess I am the type who would rather have one quality timepiece than a dozen like-but-don't-like-it-enough-to-buy pieces. Not ready yet for Rolex-grade watches and definitely won't go for a Lo-Lex  @patryn33 Thanks for the link to the online store. Indeed mostly top grade movements for Mido and all reviews/comments confirm the same. Was first introduced to the Mido brand by an 82 year old gentleman who got it (the solid gold classical looking type) as a gift over 30 years ago - it was still running after all those years, although how well I can't tell! The last I checked, the Mido Commander was going for RM1,999.00 before discount. Standard 20% discount (I wonder if it could be stretched to >30% for cash) was offered at an AD at Mid Valley sometime in December 2010 and it can also be found here. As for the Mido Baroncelli Power Reserve, the stainless steel bezel with white dial and brown leather strap which I'm interested in is going for RM4,250/4,400? before discount. RM4,600.00? for the Rose Gold version - same 20% discount offered by the Mid Valley AD. The online price can be found here and also here. Orolus.com's prices seem to be higher than Superbuy.my but it looks like Bodying.my's prices which include free shipping to Malaysia by PosLaju is the most competitive. Regarding plain dial PR display, i used to think about saving up a bit more and go for the NOMOS...that's really a beauty. ..but a bit too small sized it seems.. http://en.item.rakuten.com/jackroad/nm012/ http://www.glashuette.com/index.php?id=50&L=1 This post has been edited by nando: Mar 22 2011, 10:48 PM |

QUOTE(nando @ Mar 22 2011, 10:05 PM) thanks for those online sites..never seen them before...... I own a nomos 37mm and it certainly wear big. the lack of bezel makes the dial look big. The lug is also protrudes out making the feel big although the size of the case is small at 35mm. I am not the only one that felt that, many Ang Mo on WUS also share the same feeling. It has been selling pretty well in Europe I gather if it is not small for European shouldn't be that small for us asians.Regarding plain dial PR display, i used to think about saving up a bit more and go for the NOMOS...that's really a beauty. ..but a bit too small sized it seems.. http://en.item.rakuten.com/jackroad/nm012/ http://www.glashuette.com/index.php?id=50&L=1 Added on March 23, 2011, 7:56 am QUOTE(Xp3rT @ Mar 22 2011, 08:01 PM) they do not hv this model or they do not produces anymore??the pic not RXW?? that isn't RXW. iirc RXW didn't write anything on the dail. those that write MM are usually Chinese made homages.BTW,how is the Dievas vintage.is it good,worth the money?2k+ for a homage. rxw now is at RM$1.5K and it is anti magnetic. I rather pay for a RXW unless these is a particular Dievas homage U like which devias vintage are u looking at? http://www.longislandwatch.com/Dievas/Dievas_Watches-1.htm This post has been edited by patryn33: Mar 23 2011, 07:56 AM |
