From your last posts... it seems to be that you're looking for a sensible no fuss watch ( you even compared warranty )

In that case, I don't see why not Seiko... also you're looking at quartz.... Seiko practically invented the stuff and brought the Swiss watch industry to its knees.

For your reading pleasure in case you haven't already read.

actually i'm looking for quartz (cuz cant really afford automatic), below RM700, leather strap (cuz of my small wrist), bigger dial size (40-42mm)
and thanks for the article

What do you mean cannot afford an automatic? Seiko and Orient sells automatic watches for less than RM500.

i tot usually the automatic watch are expensive than quartz, so i oni eyeing on quartz

got cheap automatics.
got ultra expensive quartz.

and everything else in-between to fit any budget.
main thing is to buy what u feel comfortable wearing and looking at, and not to buy for other ppl to look at u

There's a gazillion model in the Seiko 5 range that fits your budget.

I paid a little over half your budget for this



Now usually worn like this

seen the latest limited edition seiko 5's?
im not a fan of open hearts, but the middle one is pretty fancy.

hmmm... took them awhile to get the open heart on the 5.
Looks pretty good.
Power reserve indicator next??

Shop around bro.
Don't be afraid of the prices. Especially Seiko and Orient.
On the safe side, you can browse for models which are below 1k retail price.
You can get auto watches from approx 250 and above.
Quartz are not always cheaper, titanium chrono quartz with alarm from seiko can retail at 1.4k-1.6k.
Look for what suits you best. It's all about preference.
Mine will always be auto ahead of quartz.

i wish to hv Grand Seiko..
anyone here? mind to share plz..
thx..

The middle one that has extra dial indicates the date, the rest of 2 are lack of date indicator.

I got my Seiko 5 (SNZF17K1) Automatic slightly less than your budget. Hehe..
If not, Orient Mako is quite a good choice too.

guys, i saw one seiko 5 at a shop (stupid of me to not get the model number) and i quite like the design. simple and nice, metal strap (it has been a longggg time since i've had any metal strap watch).

i was surprised that it costs rm330. the salesperson told me the "movement is from japan but the rest of the watch is from china"

does it mean it's fake or what?

Need at least a model name or picture as there's a mindboggling number of models that fits that description.

Great Shot!!

Seiko has factories across Asia ... I dunno how to tell also.

As for Seiko 5.... http://www.creationwatches.com/products/se...atic-sports-89/

What's available on the link is by no means comprehensive.
