A wrist shot before heading out later.

I'll recommend this Orient, one of our bros here has it. It's $388 from Creation Watches.

Good watch but quite big. Try it on first.

What sort of watch you want?

Skip Fossil though.

Oh okay the intial reason why i said fossil because due to the skeletons parts design that attracted me but i have not went to any of the shop to try it on,what i worry is the durability.

Im looking for a watch that is suitable for casual and formal use..doesnt need very good water resisistant as i will not be wearing it to go for diving or swimming.

Hm you cant go wrong with seiko watches.

Can get automatics for that pricing. Seiko 5 if you want to save some cash.

Otherwise seiko divers are plenty skx series, seiko monster series

Otherwise consider orient watches ( related to seiko).

if seiko im looking at diver series.Any particular would u recommend for seiko 5 as the amount of models is huge.

i see i will take a look on it

Here's an article on watch movement supplier for Fossil

Bright future ahead, but dunno if the current supply of Fossil watches already started using STP.

But I think Fossil stocks of watches locally are quite overpriced (compared to Amazon / eBay), probably due to shopping mall rents. Can consider, but not from shopping centres bah.

well yup im kind of agree with you with the pricing on fossil watch that why im loooking at a alternative.

Seiko diver you can go for SKX007 for your budget. I find the design more versatile compared to say Tuna or Monsters.

An alternative is the Orient Bambino. Many versions but the v1 Gen 2 looks good. White dial variation can even pair well with a suit.

Yeah skx007 ftw

Good read!

"You need to find a compromise between the features you desire in a watch and the brand on the dial. It’s a tricky balance. "

GST no..their prices on e internet is fixed

ya hor, now tt u mentioned abt e shipping..crap..shud have asked for discounts last time round dammit

my reply was in reference to Leovanwatches..

as TeenTitan01 ppointed out, since they offer free overseas shipping, perhaps they can give us the discount equivalent to to the free shipping

anyway leovan is ok la, even after i bought from them, when i emailed them for post-sales support, they will reply just as fast as the pre-sales period

just take note though, he mostly replies at night..like very very late at night

 

[kiosai]

When I see Kiosai nick....I think of the Seiko baby tuna 639, that's another great watch!

Why? Why the 639? Haha.. Why not..

The Bulova Moonwatch?

The Posiedon?

But yah.. I love my 639 too..

Haven't wore this for a while but you can take a look at the Seagull M182SK if you are looking at a skeleton.

Available online from many sellers, I got mine from Good-Stuffs.

Bro, I think all of your underwater pics are out of focus. You may need to have more distance between your watch and cam. Move your cam further away. Hope you don't mind me saying

I don't mind at all. Thanks for pointing it out. Sharing is caring.

Having owned both, I wouldn't say, quality-wise, a Fossil watch is better than a Seiko 5.

Fossil is a fashion watch after all. But the saving grace is that it is acutely aware of its quality problems as a fashion watch and taking steps to introduce higher quality movements into its future products.

The guy said he was attracted to the skeleton look, which I doubt that Seiko 5 has any offerings.

Trying out the cheap underwater cam for a week,the viewer only 2inch,very difficult to see if I got a clear image. Bro besides distance between object and cam what else should i take note of?

Guys, is the seiko padi available at watch shop or must order from overseas?

 

[AyuReady]

How bros?
44mm I guess ? Upper limit of what my hand can wield

 

[basic___]

Anyone with skinny wrist owns a Sumo? I personally find sumo has the classiest design out of most of the diver watches

oops pai seh, i actually shifted away from the guy's question liao..

currently, fossil prob isn't at Seiko 5 level, but wondering if it will be there one day

anywya, even if it even reach there, it'll be hard to break out of its shell as a fashion watch

seiko ftw~!
