QUOTE(terencetoo @ Mar 28 2010, 09:13 PM) Guys went to Hour Glass n some other high end watch shop. Spotted this on the display  IWC...i was trying to peak the price right behind on the right side. [black IWC] Seems nice..guess exp though  Looks like SINCERE KLCC to me if you'd ask me. and yes patryn33 you were right, the price tag is RM104k.

QUOTE(miaopurr @ Mar 28 2010, 11:15 PM) i used to love chronographs. then lost interest and switched my preference towards diver's watch. i agree that that LE is very nice, but not my cup of tea. been looking at MKII and Marathon. the Marathon SAR reeks of manly testosterone Marathon SAR  somehow I like this Debaufre .. waiting for the scratch and dent sale

J for Jumbo how can that be a JSAR in the pic? the front look is like this, 1 crown on the side.. the pic do show another 2 push buttons.. I think U meant to say its a CSAR in the pic... for a CSAR it cost US$2700! might as well go for your Omega Seamaster then a quartz for US$475 not really cheap. else for a Chrono I would go for a Guinand... blue crews decorated and gold plated. packaging also nice. just not as big. http://forums.watchuseek.com/showthread.php?t=158528 This post has been edited by patryn33: Mar 29 2010, 12:31 AM
