planning to get this, classic

nice classic, Seiko SARB030

I'm looking for a watch.

My budget is around RM 750 - 1000 (about 100 GBP-ish and I can push it to about 150 GBP).

Looking for something like the Seiko above. Classic, but not a big fan of the gold bezel. Preferably something black/white with a leather strap.

Point me in the right direction and I'll be quite happy. Looked at Tissot, Seiko, Casio etc.

perhaps this one? (taken from same website as the gold seiko)..white dial, black strap, within your budget.

Hey guys....what do you think of Golana, Hamilton and Wenger watches?

I know Wenger is part of Swiss Army...perhaps lower in terms of quality as compared to Swiss Army....and yes, I mentioned before that Swiss Army watches doesn't appeal to me...but dunno why Wenger seems ok to me

My question is...among the 3 brands listed above, which is better? In terms of quality, value, reliability, etc....

from WUS, Golana seem to have some quality issue. loose crown or what not.
Hamilton very safe bet.

those seikos are nice. very nice.

seiko produce the same version as what i shown in silver dial too, you can have a look at seiyanjapan

any1 here heard of Romain Jerome??

saw in magazine...mm...soli, not my cap of tea

price range ??

dunno... all i noe its made for material out of titanic and moon dust... estimate bout 100k++??

Entry level Swiss made watch, not a bad choice.

not so expensive starts at ~RM$35K

Epos, under rated brand... not much advertising going on, which is good. u're not paying for marketing.
they do make good reliable watches. like most entry level brands eg oris they use ETA movement.

Nice looking watch r3kahsttub, did you got it? The price is rather expensive though.

Seiko Spacewalk is available now!



First presented at Baselworld 2008, this remarkable watch was first used in October 2008 when the private space adventurer, Richard Garriott, took it into space on his mission to the International Space Station (ISS). It had been built expressly for his space flight and was designed to withstand the extreme temperatures, pressures and radiation conditions involved in an Extra-vehicular Activity (EVA), or spacewalk. It performed flawlessly throughout Richard’s 12-day flight in space. Subsequently, in December 2008, two Spring Drive Spacewalk watches were worn by a Russian cosmonaut throughout a 5-hour-38-minute EVA. During the EVA, both the time of day and chronograph functions worked perfectly, even when worn on the outside of the space suit. On their return to Earth, the watches were studied, assessed and tested at Seiko Epson’s facility, and their perfect performance during the EVA was independently verified.

It had always been Richard Garriott’s aim that the watch would help generate awareness of, and interest in, the future potential of space exploration. For this reason, one of the two watches Richard had taken into space was sold at a much-publicized auction in New York in September 2009 for US$45,600, a remarkable premium over the reserve price. SEIKO ‘s proceeds were donated to the two charities that Richard supports: the Nature Conservancy and the Challenger Center for Space Science Education.

Now a commemorative limited edition of this remarkable watch is available to the public. Just 100 pieces are being produced. The first ones were released in February 2010. This new watch has the exact same specifications as the watch which went into space with one adaptation: a screw-in crown is used. To ensure ease of manual winding, the crown on the original was not a screw-in; however, the perfect functioning of the watch, both inside and outside the ISS, revealed that the self-winding mechanism worked flawlessly in space, so a screw-in crown is now used in the commemorative edition to enhance the overall security of the case. The watch has a ballistic nylon strap. An additional elastic nylon strap, which is exactly the same as the one used in space, is included in the special presentation box. The serial number is engraved on the case back.

my personal view here :

monthly income : 1000 - 2000 / seiko is the best brand

monthly income : 4000 - 5000 / Tag is the best brand

epos for me the design is good, but if you talking abt "well known" i guess is not really there yet.

fortis also a very "valye for money" brand
