Is the Constellation MOP powered by Quartz?

Nice choice AT ladies. By any chance it has the blue (skyfall) for ladies?

Citizen watch reported in.

Hi guys..finally decided to go with this new arrival citizen watch instead of tissot. Will be back for tissot watch in future.

Cheers! =)

yeah quartz. i am kinda torn between auto and quartz. quartz every 2 years change battery only. but was told if automatic have to send for overhaul every 4-5 years and it cost liek 1k...betul ka?

Yes, quartz in long run is cheaper maintenance. But i m a mechanical person. I prefer automatic over quartz.

For lady, most of them prefer quartz due to convenient sake. Unless, she is also a mechanical person.

I am not sure of the service cost for Omega Co-Axial, never own 1 yet. But RM1,000 ++ is easily.

Someday, i hope to own one of the Master Co-Axial Chronometer. Sounds very high tech mechanical movement built.

Quartz also needs servicing although less and cheaper.

unless u own something like a breitling aerospace, where to change a batt under authorized service center costs more than RM500

Cheaper perhaps less I don't know
My old tag bring for battery change, 9 out of 10 they make me go overhaul. Cost extra a lot extra...

Of course today Quartz can run 36-45 mths or longer makes it real nice

Demand demand demand!

There are definitely " 2nd grade " ETA mov. being shipped out from their factory.

Been lurking around in replica watch forum's and what I know is that most (or some) of the rep watches that come with ETA movements has refurbished ETA parts

kinda skeptical about "refurbished" parts.
thats what fakers usually say to give their products more credibility...kinda like "rejected" perfumes which of there is no such thing.
we all know already got chinese copies of 6497 and also 2824.
nothing that they can't copy as long as the OEM guys set up factory there first.

Any recommended place for servicing auto watch? Is a sub 2k watch so don't want to spend so much.

We talking about me mechanical part, China can reverse engineer a Cisco router and extract the software and do the entire pcb is a mechanical part harder???

Lolz this Chinese you talking about sounds so familiar. ><

Dang!
How am I going to repair my Squale in the future?

Good choice!!

One poster mentioned that since ETA fabricates the components from china, the parts do leak out from those factories.

or you cannibalize a chinese knock off ETA movement, i read that most if not all of the component are interchangeable between the real ETA and china knock off ETA movement.

Yours is a used squale right? The 1521 or the 1545?

I am planning to get the 1521 when gnomonwatches stocks them up in another 2-3 weeks, but most likely at a 5% price hike.

i believe that will be squale's problem later, why worry?
maybe they may just replace the movement with a soprod or whatever that is a direct drop-in when it really needs major servicing.

i believe that model in the pic is actually the gents 38.5mm, but discontinued model with the applied index date window...just that her wrist looks fat so looks smaller
so yea, AFAIK there is no skyfall model for ladies.

Yup, used 1545.
