With swatch group cutting back they have to use their inhouse movement

Wow. He/she must be making a fortune.

Can you recognize this watch Stallone is wearing ? Looks so nice though.

at first glance... looks like a Daytona... but not sure, need to ask the other sifus here

would go for second one because of the sapphire glass.

I personally had considered EQS-1100DB-1AV at price of about RM950, Downside: not interchangeable with leather strap, heavy/ bulky/ four buttons instead of screw-in crown, it's still a beautiful watch at that price range.

Even though a lot of sifu/ big shots / big guns/ high flyers are here to after "something other than functionality" and I guess they won't deny Casio tops functionality/ price ratio chart.
Generally speaking, parameter left for you to compare is selling prices among merchants and I guess the difference would not exceed RM200,

It says right on the image name no?

Carl Bucherer Patravi TravelTec GMT

yea well its true for anything.
for some ppl even buying a rm1k seiko has no logic.
or a rm1.5k watch may be luxury already.
in the end, whatever makes you happy...no need to keep living your life based on making other ppl happy

some ppl ah

casio edifice a good choice.
but for work, seiko also makes solar chronographs at about the same price...and would look better in work environment.
just that they got too many damn models all look almost the same in the same price range...not as bad as edifice...but still makes choosing one quite hard.

well said bro, well said

happy new year, leaving office now

ei? sold your Seamaster already?

ya got another seamaster

Casio is no doubt reliable, but at RM950, there's alot of choices in brand/style that you can choose from. Seiko, Orient and Citizen has alot of choices in that price range. If black pvd is what you're looking for, then Casio has more of them.
But at the end of the day, like outpace said, it depends on the discount you get.

On the other hand, wanted to ask how you guys rate the Orient Ray in comparison with the Seiko Monster or SKX007?
Posted in the Seiko thread but did not get much feedback.

Thanks.

u got the only feedback that mattered.
4r36 monster > skx > ray.

had been raised by "philosophical" members many times , but still I press the "LIKE" button.




My guess is there is no need to doubt, show me one watch that, at RM950, that "functional" Casio rules, unless auto/ mechanical watch is preferred (as many do).
one sub RM1k metal analog watch that has
AR coated Sapphire*,
100m water resistant,
good lume,
long life span (Tough Solar doesn't need to change battery at least),
perpetual calender,
1/1000 chronograph,
world time,

*I rated this high

a lot of the above mentioned can be done with handheld gadget, so decision after all is more of sentiment value and social status one wanted to be perceived as, easy to say who cares, but a lot of us do care.

It sounds a bit vulgar, for a matter of fact, there are a lot sifu are here to discuss and appreciate the fine quality watch making and history behind them.
like what it say no watch is too cheap or too expensive to discuss

Slightly off topic but I think I'll be worried if I were Casio. There's a good likelihood that their primary sellpoint of having most feature per buck will go the same way as pre-quartz accuracy being a sellpoint with smart watches being in the scene.

ps: Tough Solar still has a rechargeable battery that will eventually wear down AND more expensive to replace compare with a simple quartz watch with a 10 year battery life using standard batteries.

Good point, I personally looking at the COGITO smart watch, won't be long before they all come with Sapphire/ 100 meter WR.

For me, watch represent my journey in career. From Casio calculator digital watch > Swatch chrono > Seiko Criteria > Oris William F1 > Mont Blanc

All just to pamper myself

City Chain is carrying Seagull. Interesting. 15% discount only.

iirc hang thai was distributing seagull last yr...wonder if they gave it up.

Casio quartz has 10 yr life
Others like Ronda is a mix bag, range from 25 mths to 10yrs. Eta too like 2-4 yrs, guess they only focus on mech.
My tag old quartz only does 2-3 yrs.
Timex intelligence quartz is like 5 yrs
Jap quartz are really efficient many miyota mvt are rated for 10 yr.

U are right on solar, Casio tough solar still has some ways to go. Some ppl report changing battery on the 7th yr. might as well do quartz
