So I was browsing thru some stuffs on GQ and saw this brand and the designs look really good. Plus the price is pretty stunning too. But has anybody heard about this brand? Is it available in Malaysia?

Bulova Precisionist, the closest thing to Seiko Spring Drive at a very affordable price. If only they had a smaller case below 40mm i'd definitely snap one up...
