sbbn035 or srp639k1,one is auto one is quartz which is a better
buy?if srp639k1 buy from k2 better?and if sbbn015 buy from chino watch?

I personally like the quartz tuna for low maintenance movement that can last a lifetime (decades old quartz tunas are still running). Plus the kanji date is quite rare to find.

Just FYI, the 7C46 movement is not just any cheapo quartz. Read the below comment to find out more

Price range difference is a lot. Marine master is considered higher notch than seiko 639. Marine master Quartz is rated highly as others have mentioned.

There is a smell on leather straps after wearing for sometime. How to get rid of the smell? Sweat smell?

Marinemaster and Monster series quite different range...

Cannot wear everyday. Must rotate to let the leather dry and not "rot".

That's why people have 7 watches, one for each day of the week...

Hm has anyone here has experience buying watches from places like Cashmax or Athena watches?

Saw some Rollies for sale.
Some examples below

http:/www.athena.sg/details.php?id=9307

http://www.athena.sg/details.php?id=9059

Considering between airking 114200 (34mm), datejust 116200 (36mm), explorer 214270 (39 mm)
I know all 3 have different price points between 4-7K ish
don't mind buying pre-owned to save some cash.
Looking for something that flies under the radar

Can only afford one. Buying all of them is definitely out of the question.
So far have only tried on datejust and its quite flashy especially the centre polished bracelet.

Where can I get a ballpark figure of the priced in Germany? (Before vat refund and stuff)

My friend don't buy such stuff one so I think it would be better for me to provide the info to him

I find out how much % off retail I got. VAT refund you check the online charts
