guys...
wanna ask something regarding to leather strap.

When there is a genuine leather word stamp on the strap, does it mean the whole strap is full leather or only the back surface (intact to skin)
Thx

I don't own this watch but I own a hamilton watch
37mm watch - U like smaller watch?
anyway, it is on a eta 2824 workhorse movement. no decoration.
Hamilton should be a elaborated grade, concern with accuracy below is  a chart on page 1 post 1.

if U are paying RM2.4K thats pretty expensive. I can get a ETA 2824 same grade cheaper but not with a well marketed brand like Hamilton.

page 1 post 1 does show a few watches that is in this size.
eg

I like big watch...but this small watch looks great on my wrist too..

I'm sure the price can be further nego. the sales person told me it's 20% discount which I think can bargain more.

Thanks for the recommendation link..pretty well build watch too...yea maybe the brand is not as famous as hamilton is thumbup.gif

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

Thanks for that tips.

Generally the 30% for ORIS BC3 advanced or all range of ORIS watches?

if it is not too trouble, appreciate if you can PM me the shop name in MV rclxms.gif

Thanks buddy for the info.

I went to the shop just now and take a close look.
I think I'm not going for it.

Build of the watch is poor
Leather material is lousy
Too heavy..

anyway..here is the picture
