Got myself a new watch, at last, for about half of the budget only. After experiencing it on the wrist, humbly i chosed this : Alba Sign A Model No. : AF8M34X. Calibre No. : YM92-X148. Suggested Retail Price :RM 720.00. Manage to get it for rm560 after bargain.
Link : http://biz.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?f...6&sec=business# I know Alba is no match for other high-end Brand, but my money, my choice |

yea. they are riding on obama's which IS sort of a compliment/ trademark/ icon or something to boast about but I do admit the watch IS nice
its simple, chic and i like it and it's cheap in that sense: 325USD |

haha citizen movement isn't good? not too sure about that.
what so bad about its movement anyway? actually, in essence, i find that all watch movements are pretty much the same >_< not really noticeable. |

LOL... I just say its citizen hence it cheap. hey its a quartz no matter what it still "better" than your $7K watch or any of my mechanical in accuracy. So why buy expensive mechanical watches show off?
anyway, the retail price of the movement is a cool US$27. http://jewelerssupplies.com/shop-bin/sc/pr...c41c1067c844122 I guess whats on ppl's head is "Cheap things not good, good things not cheap." |
