Been a sleeper in this thread for quite sometime, maybe 2 years back haha.

Most my money spend on G-Shock, childhood memory always precious.

Now looking for something else, money spend for g-shock already can buy tag.

I got a stowa flieger 6498 on order, thinking of a dress watch to replace my seiko premier.

This seiko premier got lots of compliment, a lot of my customer or friends tell me I have a nice watch.

I have a fairly thin wrist, 6" tight but I usually wear my watch a little lose. This seiko is 40mm diameter and 10mm height.

Normal automatic movement can get around 10mm height but chronograph usually 14-15mm in height. I tried tag 1887 and just felt it sits too tall, to be honest I wouldn't mind but I try it out few my friends also said its too tall.

Grand Seiko Quartz also looks nice but that price also can get a quartz tag. Ball Cleveland Express, the tritium tube smile.gif

I'm in love with Jack Heuer 80th Birthday edition. Anyone know what's the price like in Malaysia?
I check in Indonesia is 55juta+ which is around RM18,000.

Got quote from TH boutique at Gardens for RM16,700.00. Pavilion boutique said no discount for the limited sleep.gif

MSRP is much cheaper.

something that I've been wondering, not sure how most guys pull off with a 40-42mm watch...I'm only 162cm and 65kg (yeah a little plum). don't seems to have many choice for something bigger within that similar budget/brands right? most of my mates comment that I look weird with a 40mm...

kinda digging the breitling superocean 44...could be a good option too right?

I'm 170, 60kg. very skinny. My wrist only 6" just wanna wear what I like, try not to think what other comments haha.

5k and above is considered good second hand value? thats 50% loss already...
then again, just buy what u feel like wearing...if u dont want to worry so much about second hand value just buy a rolex...but even that also will drop 20-30% tongue.gif

Watch is a bad investment haha, definitely depreciate the value. So just buy what u like, scratch it all the way up and make it your unique piece and forgot bout 2nd hand value.

If you're thinking of reselling for profit, there's much more other opportunity xD real collector don't wear their collectors item.

44mm on 6" probably too large.

Did a 30th anniversary G-Shock spree early this year because I'm also "Since 1983"

Now I even got this, 3000 pieces worldwide and it just appear before me, what a coincidence how could I resist.

Some question, so my new tag does hack.

When I want to adjust the time, the second hand stops. How do I adjust so that when the second hand at 60, the minute hand stays right on the minute marker.

Because right now it isn't, I tried pulled out the crown when the second reach 60, set the minute right on the marker. The minute marker only starts moving after the second hand did a full turn.

If I pulled out my second hand at 60, push back the crown with my minute hand at 10minute, the minute hand only start moving after the second did a one full round. It takes 2 minute to move to "11minute"

How did you adjust the minute hand? It should always be moved (adjusted) clockwise else there will be some slippage of the gearwheel that will take time to recover. It's normal for an ETA 2894-2 aka Calibre 17 movement.

Adjusted clockwise?

I tried clockwise to the marker, and also rollback. Doesn't get it right either.

Makes me things are these seiko 5 replica too.

And I'm also thinking there might be a good market for replica. Since I don't have $ to start a real watch shop let's sell replicas hahha or homage.

The truth is, there's probably 10 out of a 10000 people knows what you're wearing without asking, and maybe out that 10 people maybe only 1 knows that's a replica.

That's why we wear a watch for ourself to see, not others. Those wanna get a watch to pick up girls can go get those watch with bling bling diamonds
