thanks for the recommendations...

guys, sadly, i tested my watch and it only lasted for 8 hours .. anyone have tips to make it lasting more hours because i'm not seldom wear my watch unless going to works/outing..

btw, this is my watch, not know the exactly model (it's a gift actually)

this is the watch i got my gf. seems to last about 8 hours as well. she seems to have lost the manual so there's nothing i can read. haven't tried to read up online yet; will do so when i get some free time.

but yeah, seems to last about 8 hours only. most mornings, she has to wind them up.

[quote=hey guys i need your help....
what watch will you"ll recommend me that is within rm500, i dont want to go for a watch more then that as i am just a student and might damage it.
where is a good watch shop near kl ?

BTW: in 2007 swiss voted to tighten the regulation on what it takes to be branded swiss made. today is at least 50% made in swiss, new regulation would be 80%. thank go it will not happen anytime soon.. it took 20yrs for Switzerland to arrive at this current rules. According to what I learnt, fastest it would take 8yrs for this to go into effect. when that happen.. U would see prices go up much higher.

hmmm...interesting development....., which of the value for money brands (the tissots, oris, hamilton, etc) will fulfil the 80% criteria then?

my guess it all of them, if they wanna continue putting swiss made on their watches!
Oops those looking at quartz its 60%.. company such as hamiltion, oris who outsource their case/leather overseas to the far east today.. I would expect a significant increase in prices when that happen.

love to have ah tourbillon but i am not super rich

- have ah sea master by omega and ah tag

- i love my Casio cost it ah daily watch
- well i think for 3k you can try ah Seiko oh ah oris
- i think oris is up and coming in the watch brand! and nice styling to!
- if not try ah montblanc u might get it in good price if it's on sales.

I got me this





got this off a website:

Case - Black, ion-plated stainless steel, Ø 44 mm
Bezel - Rotatable, with minute markers
Dial - Black two-layer dial with cross pattern and luminous hands, non-reflecting mineral glass and sapphire coating, water resistance 10 ATM - Roman Movement -
Quartz Functions - Hour, minute, small-second, date display; Chronograph: stop-second, 60-minute, 12-hour display
Bracelet - Black, ion-plated stainless steel bracelet
Clasp - Butterfly clasp in black, ion-plated stainless steel

This watch, completely immersed in black, is absolutely eye-catching. The IP coating in matt black perfectly complements the design of the THOMAS SABO Watches Collection. The sword-shaped stop second hand is based on the jewellery collection.

wow cool watch kneok, what brand is it?

It's thomas sabo. was teman-ing GF looking for jewellery, then saw the watch. It's not known for its watches, but at least not many people will wear it. Sales person also told me that only one piece per shop in malaysia. hope she not lying!!

paid ~2000 for it? any pic of the back view? swiss made by any chance?

yeah it was RM18++. I will upload pic of the back view later. i dont think it's swiss. doesnt mention anywhere..

wanted this one but sold out

love the design, never heard of thomas sabo, is it a watch brand or fashion, like guess, nautica etc?

It's actually known for its jewellery, sterling silver mostly. As far as i know people (my gf) go there to buy charm bracelets..

as u guys are talking about watches in black..do u guys think watches in black suitable for tanned ppl (like me as an example ) ?

Ya it is a designer watch, but pay RM18++ for it, not for me But stunning watch, as long as you like it

the skull reminds me of corum watch
seem the black on black look is going into 2010, this trend did start back in 2008.
