QUOTE(lee82gx @ Dec 20 2017, 05:14 PM) Hello guys Would like your opinions for a purchase. My budget is under RM1000. After much thought I decided not to get an Automatic. Here is a watch I'm looking at :  Citizen BM6750 It has most of the things I want: White / silver dial. 40mm Something fancier than a battery quartz. Dressy leather. Price well within my budget. So before I pull the trigger via dutyfreeisland shop, would there be another alternative I should look to? for about the same price, you can also look at citizen nh8350 or orient bambino. both are dressy, simple and most importantly automatic. |

QUOTE(r3kahsttub @ Jan 5 2018, 10:49 AM) aardvark can't you just order the part? I suspect you'd need to leave a deposit of sorts at least, hence why they're asking you to go in. Won't take two months; they just give you the worst available estimate. Last time I sent a speedy in for some repairs, some parts took up to two weeks to arrive. And in today's wet wet weather, something legendary...  how much is this now in malaysia? always wanted one (especially the non-date version) but wayyyy out of my league at the current moment. |

guys, would like to ask, how long does your leather strap normally last? especially those dressy type?
i ride motorcycle to work, so my watch is kinda exposed to sunlight and rain (occasionally). current leather strap already started to crack. still wearable, but too distressed for a dress watch.

QUOTE(Laccola1980 @ Jan 25 2018, 04:32 AM) Hi my rider friend ;-) I'm joking of course.  Pure leather strap usually is not covered with a waterproof film, leather wreck in contact with water.  You can choose for a rubber strap that make water slip over it.  Otherwise a bracelet.  hey thanks for the reply. i guess no choice but to use my mesh bracelet for work. i don't think i can put on a rubber strap cos its a dress watch.

QUOTE(SLRcom @ Mar 18 2018, 07:40 AM) hi all, anyone can recommend a dress watch with minimal look below 2k? tissot visodate should fit your budget nicely. but if you are okay for something that is a lot cheaper, there's a lot of other recommendation that i can give e.g. orient bambino small second. |

Analog Leather strap Complications (must) - Date/Day Complucations (optional) - moonphase Budget: 1k-2k orient sun and moon?  |
