CYMA is a Swiss manufacture owned by Stelux Holdings International Ltd. A public listed company in Hong Kong.

If it is good enough for Andy Lau and currently Liu Ye, it's good enough for everyone.

BTW, Stelux also owns the Thong Sia Group.

No. Just get a Seiko.

A few more wouldn't hurt.
Orient?

Although Citizen makes some automatic movements, their main focus is on quartz Eco-Drive. (80% of their production in 2011)

My daily wear "cheapest high end watch".

Seiko 5 is around 36mm ~ 38mm, 10mm thickness in countless designs to choose from. BTW mine is 36mm
Get a Seiko 5 and buy a leather strap separately.

Or

Check Seiko Premier range.

Or

Orient.

Or

"Swiss Made" Tissot perhaps?

AFAIK, Tissot does not sell any COSC chronographs.

A Mido All Dial V7750 COSC can be bought for around RM5.5K.

Although more expensive, you might want to consider a Longines Caliber L688.2 chrono. (ETA A08.231 exclusive to Longines) It's the cheapest Swiss column wheel chronograph.

And for those on a budget or started working..........

Another alternative choice SNXS73K1. I have an SNXS79K1.

Cindy Crawford FTW.

Interesting. What model did you get for her?

As I suspected..... Didn't you know?

List price: RM 12.5K

Just another ETA 2894-2 with a different name.

No. Orient does make other calibers with single crown and quickset day and date.
I believe they still make these since they are still popular and in demand.

Seiko did stop production of Seiko 5 during the quartz revolution in the 80's for a short period but brought it back because it was and till today still in demand.

Out of proportion? Yes. But aren't almost all watches the same with the crown and pushers on one side?
Even our faces are asymmetrical.

I kinda agree with him.

Citizen is under my blacklisted company. Apart from that, not many stores are selling Citizen watches.

But, if I were to get one I'd chose:

PMA56-2791 200m (JDM)
or
BN0000-04H 300m (US & European Model) Not available in Malaysia.
Its also the current issue diver's watch for the British Royal Navy.

Both models have same minute markers on the bezel that has better visibility crucial for diving than the watch in that pic.

It's nothing personal. It's just business.

Ad verbum:


Read post #7.

If purchased not from Malaysian authorized dealers and sourced from Malaysian distributor, then yes.

In theory, there is nothing to worry about. Citizen claims that the Eco-Drive batteries can still keep their 80% of their capacity in 20 years. Anyway they never mentioned anything about their solar cells. That will also degrade over time. So will the lubricants and the gaskets. Just enjoy your Nighthawks.

It's understandable if the SC does not honor warranty for watches without an international warranty. It's not acceptable to refuse service just because a customer bought a watch elsewhere. Just call the SC of the respective brands and ask them their service and repair policy.

I believe CWC G10 is still being issued.

Is the Citizen watch available in Taiwan?

You can get the CWC divers here:

No love for Tutima?

Orient Star Skeleton – DX00001W
I finally had the chance to see the watch yesterday. It looks much better in the pics than in the display though. Wasn't really interested, but...
