thanks mate for the info, yeah there are mechanical which are within my budget but I've not seen any with sapphire crystal. I'm expecting a quartz due to my budget and requirement for sapphire coz I'm a little paranoid seeing the watch face getting any scratch lol...

would love yo check out your laco, PM me when you think it's ready ya? I assume it's with a mineral crystal?

Hi,

Im interested in a Panerai Radiomir, saw a used one at Amcorp Mall the other day. Although its a whopping RM17k, anyone knows where can find a bit cheap? Just surveying first though.. Hehe

nice watch .

Pardon me, noob here

How come the watches have same dials but different brand? Citizen and Campanola related?

There are very seldom watches with same dial but different brands. So far what I saw was one company wanted to put a model by another company into their product line but refuse to produce on their own, B&R with Sinn. OR r u referring to similar instead of same?

Campanola, like Eco-drive, is another Citizen product line for high end quartz watches with great craftsmanship.

Campanola is citizen's luxury line, much like Grand Seiko /Credor for Seiko.

Added on February 9, 2012, 11:11 amwhats the exact model number? Radiomir is on alot of series.
at 17K I think its something like this? not if it base off Swiss Unitas, it does not hack, cannot stop second hand. Swiss Unitas only cost ~US$200. Paying $17K, U are paying alot for the brand.

Yup Laco with Miyota movements come with mineral glass. So far I've found mineral glass to be pretty scratch resistant, as long as you don't abuse your watch.

Whoa, didn't expect Campanolas to cost >3k USD. The craftsmanship is impressive but can't say I will pay that amount of money for a quartz

Campanolas focus on the dial manufacturing movement is secondary, the Jap artisan working on it have 30-50yrs of experience. many work on the dial lacquering with their bear fingers. Alot of the 60s-70s yr old artisan don't have fingerprint on the fingers they work extensive with.

The Steinhart looks awesome! Any recommended sellers which have good prices?

I understand what you mean. People look at different aspects when buying a watch, type of movement is just one of the many considerations. If I owned a Campanola I would appreciate it more for its extrinsic attributes, like a piece of art.

Steinhart AD in SEA is Gnomon Watches located in SG, you can google for them. Alternative is purchase through Steinhart official website (slightly cheaper if not mistaken).

just checked the prices comparing steinhart and gnomon, slightly lo. puluh2 ringgit diff only..
