Hi, I am looking to buy my first automatic movement. I have narrowed down to Seiko or Orient movement. May I know how is the durability and serviceability of Orient movement?

Thank you.

Orient made in Japan and their movement are in house production.
Durability yes, serviceability yes.
Orient are more towards classic and dress watches.
Recently the price hike substantially maybe due to increasing demand.

hi whers the shop that gives the best discount for orient ?? sg wang?

Max discount 25-30% if had good nego and persuasive skill.
So far can get from Pavillion and Sunway Putra.

2nd Gen Bambino v2

Who wan to swap bambino v1 with v2? Haha

Wont go wrong with either one, both are good.

Just buy whichever one that catches your eyes.

Just FYI, Orient is owned by Seiko Corp but Seiko allows it to act mostly independently.

Actually, owned by Seiko Epson Corp which is owned by Seiko Group

After going through the short list, I finally bought seiko, an entry level automatic watch. Its interesting looking at the movements of internal parts. Thanks everyone for info.

I may not wear this watch everyday so i have bought a watch winder box. May I know what is the better setting so that I do not over wind?
- Clockwise / Counterclockwise / bidirectional
- 5 minutes rotate then 55 minutes rest
- 4 minutes rotate then 26 minutes rest
- 3 minutes rotate then 12 minutes rest
- 3 hours rotate then 9 hours rest

Thanks again.

my blue ray detected ran slower more than 5 min in just one week.
may I know what to do? how much cost to service the watch?

a simple regulation would cost no more than rm50. a full service probably about 120-150.

Hey guys, I'm gonna go scout for Orient Mako II later. Price listed around is about RM 7xx, is this with or without the 20+% discount (Say, they drop the price to RM6xx+++ or lower)? Need help because if the price is good I might grab it on the spot.

I'll try around Subang/Sunway/One Utama area first. Will try to avoid KL area but I read that Sungei Wang outlet has nice people so maybe Saturday I'll drop by. Any experienced buyer can shed some light or share your experiences?

Thanks!

Updated my post above, didn't know that it won't bump.

But I'm really serious on getting it ASAP hehe

I think if you go to the malls, it will be listed above RM7xx and with their 20%, it might fall to RM7xx, so you aren't really saving much vs online. But, you might get lucky so go take a look.

Pertama Complex would be another good place to scout for your Japanese watches and get a good deal.

I see. Noted with thanks! so basically any price below the online prices is worth getting?

I'd say so, save your time hunting left right for what would be a minor difference in price. Go and molest it until you syok and buy if it the price is right.
