plz correct me if i m wrong. UHR is german brand?

need all the bros help here a bit.. wat's do u guys think abt this russian watch brand Poljot.. saw sum design in tropicana city mail and it actually looks good.

i m lookin for a watch (movement doens't matter) with brown leather strap and I,II,III etc for the "watch face".. anyone have any design in mind. budget ard 1k.. try not so stretch it.. hehe

yeah.. read abt it steinheart on v2.. but the "watch face" dun rly suit me.. wat's the correct term for "watch face" anyway?

was lookin at this http://store.emporioarmaniwatches.com/en_U...magePath=AR0645

but too bad is a designer watch..

Aristo looks pretty nice. thx bro patryn.. right now still sticking wif CW. told them i have paypal ask them to charged it there.

now how is the progress between u and CW?they approve ur payment and ready to ship to u?

[/quote

Still waiting for them to send the payment to my paypal..
So far nth has been reflected on my paypal..

Kinda forgot abt it since work was driving me crazy

nice watch bro.. mind sharing the price wif me n where u got it?

yeah.. i m so in luv wif the parnis watch u posted a few page ago.. but kinda worried abt the quality as i understand u can't expect too much from a rm 200++ watch.. might take the gamble n go bid for 1.. haha..

any city chain will have ck i guess

finally my CW status

Your item, posted on 26/01/11 with reference XXXXXXXXX has been passed to the overseas postal service for delivery in MALAYSIA.

guess i'll b getting it after CNY

yeah just use paypal, credit card is just too troublesome

can any bro here with CW experience plz share wif me how do i track the item after it has been in malaysia?

currently the royal mail has said it has been passed to overseas delivery in malaysia.. so i just have to check up pos laju or?

finally my CW came sum a week ago.. nth much to complain.. will try to upload pic when possible
