Sweet!!

Mine says Hi!!


Did you get the JDM or international version?

Mine was originally in steel bracelet.
Yours shud be ard 1.7k retail price right? Bracelet was 100 extra.

JDM the back rotor - orient star word is black
Intl - the word in gold. Different style as well.

Mind telling me what the 2 digit on the case back. The one beside the WR.
Trying to know more on the codes meaning. Haha

The model WZ is JDM.
Even the Intl is made in Japan.

Mine states N4. Still don't really know what it represents.

Most intl model has this rotor

However, Everdying mentioned JDM also got.

Very confusing. And Orient doesn't state the movement on their rotor like Seiko.

Gurney plaza don't have?
I remember i saw it in a watch shop Grd Floor in Gurney.
Not sure whether it's still there.

I also read that the 4hole gold font are international as well.
The one you got there i have not seen yet.

But when i collected my watch, there was WZ0241EL, WZ0251EL and the Intl gold EL05001W.
Both the JDM was with 2 hole black font while the Intl was 4hole gold font. So i kinda assume it's how they differenciate

It's kind of confusing and to be honest, i like the look of the gold one more.
Was hoping that it would be cheaper as well like Seiko Int;/JDM difference. But that's not the case.
Wish they provide more info on the movement as well. Unlike Seiko which has like 5-6 diff movement for the Seiko 5. Orient damn alot of diff ones.

Seiko Chrono Quartz with Sapphire can get below 500.
Orient Auto with sapphire - 700 and above can get.
Browse around. And don't window shop only. Retail price are always higher, need to ask.

Does this SARB065 come in sapphire or hardlex crystal?
Different website seems to list it differently.


Are Seiko SARB equivalent to Orient's Orient Star? Or should they be in the Seiko Premier bracket?

I beliive most of the classic SARB are in the Seiko Presage line which has alot of classic dress watch and open hearts.
The price are pretty decent too. I remember a open heart Presage at RM850+. That's why am not sure whether it can be compared to Orient Star.


Saving and planning for my next buy, prolly end of this year.
Should i go for a Seiko Presage SARB or Tissot Visodate?
Or is there any others that you guys can recommend at below 2.2k range.

I got a 5.5inch hand, and the biggest one i have is a 41mm w/o crown.
It's sad when you can't wear some other nice piece. But on the bright side, it's easier to choose coz there's not much choice.

Saving up for a new purchase probably at the end of the year.
Looking at Seiko SARB Presage, Orient Star Retrogade or go Swiss with Tissot Visodate.
Which one you guys think is a better buy or any other opinions??

Auto and preferably below 42mm (skinny hands)
Budget below 2.2k
Thanks

Can you explain to me what you mean by fake moonphase?
Nearly bought that one last year but it was too big for my wrist.

Hi guys,

I don't see much mentioned or fans of Citizen.
Is there a particular reason? Anyone has experience with this brand?
Was looking at their Eco-Drive watches and the look pretty good. Some are titanium as well.
And they have 3yrs warranty.

I recommend you visit the shops instead of calling.
If you're personally there you might able to convince them to order for you. Takes awhile but no harm waiting. But u gotta convince them that if it arrives, u'll buy it la. Not order to test size and looks.
That's what i do for Seiko and Orient. Not sure of the stocks for fossil.
There's a few online seller in LYN. Can ask them as well.

With a budget of below 7k for a brand new watch.
I've notice brands like, Tissot, Oris, Mido, Epos, Edox, Longines, Nomos and maurice (not sure whether in this price range), which one would be a better brand in term of quality and brand heritage (automatic movement)?

Would like to see your views on this as the amount of options you have, how do you guys decide on the brand you choose.

oh. totally forgot about Tag

Is frederique constant in that price range?
Just found out Mido are in a higher price range.


Yeah, i like Nomos as well.
But it seems that it is mostly hand wind.
The auto diameter is a tad bigger for my liking.
Is it available in any retail outlets here?

I normally check the retail prices here:
http://mywatchgallery.com.my/
It shows Mido is priced quite high in MY

Nomos auto still has the display case back. Just with a rotor. Still looks pretty good. Was looking at the Zurich line.
But size is 39.5mm and price is over budget.

Limes just doesn't sound right. haha

Ahhh.. Now i get what you mean
Apologies for the misunderstanding.
Kinda noob when it comes to movements, especially non-japanese ones.
1st time looking for a non-jap mechanical watch.
Learning day by day

Price range should be in the RM560 - RM700 after discount.

There's alot of Seiko Quartz chrono in that price range. Auto limited options.
Orient can get auto and quartz with this price range. But mostly auto will be simple dress designs.

Get the auto.
Chrono might look cooler la but you'll probably use the stopwatch like 20 times a year.
Hahaha
