saw checking out chronoshark.com and spot this Claro-Semag CL-888 swiss made movement.
after digging around found that its a copy of Seagull ST 16. with ETA cutting back, 1st Tag uses Seiko design, and Claro copying china movements.
a nice thread on the diff with lots of pics

@patryn33

Yo bro, u really got alot of "lubang" of getting nice watches.
Grand Carrera a pre own seems okie ...and the warranty still acceptable till next yr.

My hands getting itchy...again.... Wish i could get some nice watch for my bro b'day on August "he wearing a Seiko dono what model already" should pamper him with slightly better watch below rm5k

Anyone have any idea where to get watches that are cheap?
US
Bangkok
Japan
UK
Spore
Msia

terence, can be ur bro? i have an 8 year old seiko dunno what model already

HW Racer, i just got back from The Gardens' Hour Glass. they don't have the tempus. the only U1s they have is the regular and the SDR.

tried it on, but kinda big. not used to big watches. 44mm diameter on 6" wrist. the SDR price is more expensive than buying online. difference about rm1.5k hmm.......

just one thing i need to ask you guys. if i buy online from let's say sinnwatches.com, when i want to make a warranty claim, can i send the watch to hour glass malaysia or do i have to send it back to sinnwatches.com? i don't really understand the meaning of 'international warranty'. hour glass say that sinn is their house brand. what does that mean?

HEy guys,
any idea how much does this cost? I have one of these with metal bracelet

Collectors selling one with leather strap USD1190

u interested in Sinn too bro?

If not mistaken, Hour Glass selling U1 /SDr for about RM 6k right?

yeap! the SDR retails at RM8.1k, after discount RM6.4k.

if online, RM4.7k before shipping.

so you decided? original or SDR? i still cant decide...although there is currently no stock for SDR online

sinnwatches.com are AD, so if you wanna make a warranty claim U send it to their authorize service center or even Hour Glass to make to claim.
House Brand, by my understanding in is Brand that is carried only by a particular company in a country. No other company in the country will be carrying that brand. Hour Glass is the house brand for Sinn and Glycine .

aiyah i dunno lah! seriously dunno. if i were to choose, i'd choose SDR. but, the watch is kinda big for my wrist, and you are right, no online stock. buying from HG means spending rm1.5k extra! hmm.... thinking... thinking....

wristshot citizen promaster
diameter w/o crown: 42mm
lug-to-lug: 46mm


wristshot tissot veloci-t


would a 44/46mm diameter with 50mm lug-to-lug watch look suitable on my wrist?

the smaller U200 SDR then? only 37mm but the price is approaching the U2 ...

Added on April 11, 2010, 2:28 pmnice...but not really fancy square dials (for now)..maybe i wait for the Bressel Alternativ....the time looks easier to read...although it can look a bit busy because there's an additional hand for the date...

37mm feels like a chick watch

depends..nowadays i see chicks also wear >42mm!!...

but i think the design and height of this Sinn....should be okay although its 37mm..darn expensive too..

ya chick today love super big watches.
most chicks still go for the smaller watches. 37mm is like boy size or "Unisex".
typical men's watches are like 39mm.

anyway.. sinn U series sizes is either 37mm or 44mm...

i wonder if Swatch group (Omega) or Tag (LVMH) service center in malaysia still able to service vintage watch? how much it will ammounted to?

I had my seiko 42 mm watch for my small wrist. But still i find that 40mm or smaller watches more nicer...
