Didn't look like there is any modification of the movement
http://www.pointtec.de/zeppelin/7060-1/

How much u paying for it?

I have not purchased it yet. But the market price is roughly MYR2.5k.

What are your thoughts on this? I dont really know what modification they meant LOL.

this used to be below rm2k after discount.
too bad for GST and currency gone mad.
i liked the cream version of it.


its using a miyota 9100 movement which is good, but with the complications in it got more chances of something failing.
i seriously doubt got any modifications done to it, even the rotor looks standard plain miyota.

I like the beige brown leather strap too. But I am looking for a black leather strap watch for office wear.

I am not too farmiliar with this brand as they claim that it is made in Germany.

How does this watch compared to more mainstream brands like Citizen, Seiko, Tissot and etc?

how to compare?
in terms of movement, one step above tissot and seikos.
build quality, thats obviously a more dressy watch...so needless to say dont expect diver like ruggedness.

its probably assembled in germany as obviously the movement is japanese...so all likelyhood the rest of the parts from china, kinda like some seikos 'made in japan' but in actuality most of the parts from china / malaysia.

I didnt know the movement was better than average. lol.

Is it a good deal for a watch that is about 2k? Its my first watch that is above 800 LOL

miyota 9xxx series comparable to eta 2892, one step above eta2824.

good deal? design wise i doubt u find anything similar.
so if u want to buy for design, u got not much choice anyway.

else u already mentioned seiko etc...those are much cheaper.

Sifus,
Is that unusual an automatic watch will needs to tune the time as it getting slower after days....im wearing a luminox automatic watch...

This watch is nice

Saya tau Love the Nomos style among the Bauhaus designs but tarak duit

It's just USD120 though and it's sea gull automatic movement which I heard is not bad

If can, I wanna remove the "China made" label
