QUOTE(twho @ Oct 13 2012, 04:24 PM) I think the steel bracelet retails at 5.5k Malaysian retailers always bullsh*t with the limited edition thing la.. Should be below 4k after discount. Quite light. Hopefully it does drop as it's priced 2k higher than any other Orient Star around. But resellers are saying it's limited edition, so i doubt it'll go down. @jackiewong Same for me. Went to check it out with 2k in hand. Was hoping to bring it home. Was shock when the retail price was 5.5k  |

QUOTE(chiahau @ Oct 9 2012, 07:48 PM) Definitely an IWC top gun for me. What is so special about the IWC Top Gun? The TOP GUN logo on the back of the watch is from the movie not the SFTI program patch nor the school (Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center). The lure of a top gun is too temptingggggggg  It is nothing more than a gimmick and marketing ploy. I'd rather wear a Mickey Mouse watch on my wrist. It's the same trick with JLC Navy Seal collection and several other brands that claims to have military connections. For those interested in watches that Uncle Sam is issuing to its personnel, get a Marathon. Authorized Dealer Pricy for what they are, but its the real slim shady.  QUOTE(yonggoh @ Oct 13 2012, 06:34 PM) Anyone have any experiences with the following methods of regulating an automatic timepiece? Yes. I'm using this method.1. To gain a few seconds, lay the watch flat face-up overnight. 2. To lose a few seconds, lay the watch vertically with the crown downwards overnight. 3. To lose a few more seconds, lay the watch vertically with the crown up. |

QUOTE(Everdying @ Oct 13 2012, 01:46 PM) that orient star? the leather strap one is rm5.2k retail...so somewhere around rm4k after discount. completely mechanical, but not as thin as i expected... dunno who would want it either since orient market here very small...maybe price will slowly drop QUOTE(jackiewong @ Oct 13 2012, 02:53 PM) if it drop below 2k.. i will buy it without thinking.. but with 5.2k?.. i will go for swiss made.. Well I manage to get it at 3.5k for the leather strap. A very solid watch I would say  |
