I am not familiar with this brand. Its on discount now.. for EUR$251 or RM$1065 good value for $$ like steinhart, debaufre

OWC is made in Australia.
the cheap US$299 on seagull movement, not really worth the money. can get a steinhart, debaufre, and robert for a little more money.
the one on Soprod is a great deal.

i don't know why but the feeling i get when looking at submariner homages and the actual submariner.. just feel the homages are lacking someway. save up and buy the real thing!

as much as I like the Omega SMP, I feel the Tag Aquaracer looks sportier, younger.. and more appropriate for my age.. < 30.. wonder why is that. though I hold the Omega much higher.

patryn, how's the accuracy of your CW diver?

after 1week or so..
its getting better.. b4 was +5 or 6 secs.
now its btw 3-4secs every 24yrs. deviation around 1secs. pretty good for unmod SW200-1.
all I can say value for $$, not easy to find such watch at US$385 shipped! tongue.gif

1k+!!! not really worth the money man..
get a Christopher ward instead.
I was lucky got the C300 nearly new at US$385 or RM$1200+

now they are all gone, but new ones are on sale ~RM$1350 still cheap.
some of their auto can go as low as ~RM$890, swiss movement swiss made... why China right?
http://www.christopherward.co.uk/men/view-auto-s.html

else there are always Hamilton, Tissot also good value for money.

or these

thanks mate..you still recall my love for power reserve...

the JR is a bit too costly for me....its a limited edition alright but not keen paying >10k for this..

the Baume looks nice....

but i tell you what......i still like the Louis Erard you showed couple of pages back...very stylish and unconventional.....hunting around for best pricing...

wow...LVMH sales huh...maybe can get a decent and cheap daily quartz beater...
