did nothing to it, straight out of the box.
the cheaper orient / seiko movements have pretty conservative accuracy specs which is actually listed at -25s to +15s / day, tho most ppl will find they are easily more accurate than that.

hehe, of course, at that price. Omega is still a very reputable brand, but orient and seiko (and citizen too) are just simply unbelievable! i've just bought a black Mako, and within the first 24 hour, the accuracy is +/- 0 second, if this is not amazing i don't know what else is.

also, mako is so versatile:

pls refer back to pages 5 to 7, we did talk about this. Sg. Wang and The Mines, at least these 2 places got. I'm sure there are more shops in KL and Penang etc. that sell orient. price range ~rm455 for malaysia, online would be cheaper but by not much for this low cost babe.

I don't really dig Ball's design, the classic/retro look, yet its so popular. I prefer something less cluttered and clean like this

Why you guys like Ball so much? The line of text is enough to throw me off.

Nomos is great! Love everything from Glashutte.

Hi guys,

I am thinking to get this Maurice Lacroix le classiques chronograph. I am still a bit reserved about Maurice Lacroix as it is not as famous as others on the same range like Tag Heuer. But comparably, it's much cheaper than the Tag Heuer Carrera Chrono.

Would appreciate to get some inputs from everyone here.

Dude, I would get a Maurice Lacroix over 10 Tag Heurs. Get it!
