the price can vary. even for other MkII models with 2824, the price varies from usd700-1100. hopefully below rm3k

err... limited edition? i hope not! but.... i think it is!! WTF??!?!!? potong stim!!!

he has closed pre-orders, and there are only 100 units for general ordering. 100... aiseh....

i think the best ones are steinhart, debaufre, and robert

upcoming from benarus. nice huh?

42mm
Hooded lugs
Ceramic Bezel
New 9015 Miyota
Presidential Bracelet or Mesh

what's a Campanola? and, no idea how much that benarus will cost. yet to see the final product.

ok, speaking of movements, how do the japs fair against the swiss? besides ETA, what are other swiss movements?

what does it mean when they say, regulated to x positions?

ok, soprod vs sellita vs eta? what say you?

chronograph or chronometer? chronograph has the stopwatch features. this is a chronograph



chronometer watches are certified by COSC for accuracy

mechanical watches use energy stored in the mainspring, as opposed to a battery in quartz watches. to store energy in the mainspring, there are two ways; manual-winding and automatic winding. manual winding is done by manually winding the crown. automatic winding is achieved by a rotating weight mechanism inside the watch. the weight rotates with our wrist motions. u can see the weight inside the case, thru a display case back. example, this CW. that half-circle is the weight. it rotates with your wrist motion.
