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..).

Local offering 25% discount, so Jura's prices is not too bad actually. Is Jura a dependable seller based on your experience?

Longines 50% off?! I knew I should have followed this thread a little more closely.... would have made a good gift for the wife instead of Oris @ 30% off only.. sigh.

So.. what movement is that?

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%?

They ship in a lead box? That kinda shipping cost is insane!

I'm pretty sure the official SC is listed in their website.

Price also more or less that distance bro....

JLC produced the 2nd (?) most complicated wristwatch in the world... doesnt seem fair to compare it to.. Tag.

Chinese tourbillon? ANyone here made any research into Chinese watches?

Thanks! I guess this is the only way i'm gonna own a tourbillon in the next few years

Oh and got myself the Oris Artelier Skeleton yesterday, metal bracelet, 30% discount..

Um... original copies from China comes in many different grade i understand, those u find in Sungei Wang/petalign street for RM150 omega seems to be the lower grades. Those "replica" costing upto ~RM1k is more liek grade AA and hard to tell the difference for the untrained eyes. Anyone have experienced with such higher quality replicas?

(I know of a friend who got some LV replicas bags costing about 30% of real LV for his wife from korea, even the LV store sales girl in KL is hard pressed to tell the difference...)

Oops me bad. Actually i'm interested in getting genuine chinese made watches, espeically any with more unique movements. But there are too many badly made imitation out there I dare nto take the plunge..

ORIS you can get 30% discount in the local stores, not sure buying from the web is much cheaper..

Try MV. I told her 30% and I take it, she says OK. Otherwise they will try to peddle the 20~25% "official" discount.

30% For all Oris, even those limited edition they will initially tell you.. "Limited lah 10% only"... still can get 20~% easily.

Both Watatime/Watchshop also can. Same.

Sorry OT abit, if the girl is hot/pretty, usualyl whatever she wears will look nice on her.... people will think its "cute"....

Well I wouldnt say never, I'm sure there are some out therte with "IV".

Anyway, I would think the reasoning behind it is purely symmetry.

Although some might argue "IV" being the symbol for jupiter (ala a god), its not right to be used etc etc..

I like it you have a clear aim without any additional pretension. Then you should go for those Rolex, Omega etc brand that every uncle on the street knows. Anything more ... unique.. would be a waste of time.

Summary, in a practical/logical world, no one should ever buy a mech watch as a quartz is superior in almost every sense!

So.... now we know what kinda world we live in
