DW watch really can compare with Rolex already ! People see Rolex as satki watch DW as a in watch but Seiko as a uncle watch.

Should really get a DW watch and dump my MM300

DW > Omega Speedy on nato

Alright I guess skx007 is the winner haha. Getting one off skywatches is fine right?

I know they are not exactly worthy of a comparison since they are different but I'm torn between Seiko SKX007 and SRP639. I can't decide. Which is more value for money and sturdy? Also, how much does they cost over at K2? Thanks!

The SRP639 is very nice, especially the shroud. However, I've never seen one that is perfectly aligned - the chapter ring and 12 o'clock marker, that's really a deal breaker for me.

007 more iconic and can mod. Orient better overall watch? Will get skx any day though.

Between skx007 and the orient Ray 2 which one is a better choice? Can't decide between the 2 :/

I never understand why ppl buy Orient Ray/Mako over the SKX007/009, lol

Let me know which DW you fancy. Make it two. I'll buy the two in exchange for your MM300. Please PM me for deal!

Thank you.

Get from k2. Rubber is around $190

 

[jonleelk]

I see. So any recommendation to me that is pretty similar to DW type watch (non-nato).
I'll be buying as a birthday gift. So looking at around $80 - 120 for a minimalistic watch.

You can have your first real minimalist entry watch when if u are willing to pay $300++

I like the numbers on the Mako, hehe.

And cheaper, of course.

Oh, that's why ah, I just googled it, lol.

Seems Casio has much more selection than DW. And it's way cheaper than DW as well. Which Im surprised why is that so?

Anyone tried Casio (non-digital) before? it's the accuracy/quality good even though the cost is way so affordable.

Saw one Casio which is like 1/3 of what a DW would cost me...

 

[snowver]

DW use Miyota movement, a Japanese supplier popular with lower-price brands.

So, Casio price is what DW should cost. Now you know how much they over charge you.

I see. That's a shocker for me

Anyway I google Miyota Movement. Some says it's reliable. Some says it's inaccurate... Kinda alot of stories though...

Seems that the price is pretty affordable I might even get one pair couple watch perhaps.

More research cannot hurt! Happy shopping
