2824 is a work horse movement, 2836 same family.. the only diff is the day wheel.

some felt OWC is a great buy, Soprod A-10 better design etc etc compared to 2892. but just 200m. ppl like U going diving to depths over 200m, this is useless.

a good number of the ocean7 watches seem to be using 2892 movement. its amazing LM6 gmt just US$699, of course not many know the US brand (swiss made watches) and design

sinn? U1 using 2824 it seems should be a little more expensive than a Marinemaster.. U2 definitely more costly.

Sinn is no longer owned by Helmut Sinn. http://guinand-watch.com/ is and from what I gather they use top grade movement, not sure if they make any diver watch. issue is like stowa they only sell online.

I don't like Ocean7. I find their designs crappy and some of them are copied from other famous models. Hope I don't offend anyone here.

Yea, there're many positive feedbacks on OWC, they're basically a Rolex Submariner homage built with quality to match that of Rolex's but I'm more interested in a Panerai homage than a Rolex homage.

Hmmm Stowa watches, I already have my eyes on the Marine Original Roman. Maybe after my Fortis Marinemaster purchase hehe.

How on earth do u know so many links anyways lol. I only go to watchuseek forums.

i owned a white dial Fortis Marinemaster B42 black rubber strap...nice watch....but not so popular
in Malaysia..... about it for around rm3K++ after discounts

i like the Fortis watch due to its simplicity and value for money.... it was supplied to space mission,
military & air force pilots...

(but not much Advertising to highlight that !)

Nice HW-Racer, post some picture

well, ocean7 is just value for $$$, U can tell from watchuseek some ppl do enjoy their design. (personally I don't like how the date window is displayed) tons of valued of $$ brands just copy here and there, expensive if they need to design. even with some brands such as Zenith, no everyone love their design.
Submariner homage can be found in tons of brands..

I always wanted a pwr reserve watch.. thinking of getting this, but I am sure I will find this design sucks!

Panerai homage.. from branded places do cost above US$550, pretty standard all using Swiss Unitas 6497. always wanted a 6497 movement, to pay US$500++ is alot of $$ just for the design. since a swiss army with 6497 is just US$270 of course not cool looking.

go thru my older post and U know where the hack I get them. Those info are more accurate than hear say on watchuseek/timezone/watchnet, since its all thru published magazine.

Stowa watches, need to order.. usually a good wait...
so Fortis coming up next yr soon?

Never seen this model before, look like a compass indicator on the bezel. If yes, wonder how it work.
Care to share the model number?

DS1 Limited edition can only get 10% discount.

I saw this TAG Heuer yesterday. Preowned. Damaged RM7,000. Still got warranty and no scratches and chip.

i don't have the photo....I paste the photo from the Fortis official website... anyway my marinemaster is in black strap with white
dial...

Is the aquaracer for japan market only

maybe the same model twom saw? the damage is ~rm$7K? can share where u got it?

looks like everything is jammed up to this tag heuer model. what is intriguing about this watch is the compass indicator on the bezel and even after thorough examination, i cant seem to find out how the compass mechanism works in this watch. btw, i've never seen this model in the market before. care to provide the model number?

ive seen the model above in tag shop before. probably a new model. not sure tho

anyone here has user experience/knowledge on the Zeppelin or Junkers series? Some designs are pretty amazing...pricing too of course...

can be found here

I don't think the compass works... I think U may have to find North on your own...
let see if bearbrick explains

appreciate the reply mate...

you been to the Red Army outlet in KL? wondering how much discount from the retail pricing?

This post has been edited by nando: Dec 26 2009, 01:10 PM

yea that's the exact one.
try to play with the compass still couldn't get it work
btw i might letting go at reasonable price if anyone would like to grab this baby home.

You don't have the manual to refer? Is funny that Tag Heuer put the compass indicator instead of tachymeter on the bezel if it don't work

red army expensive! I would get them online
