For large dial watches, you can consider the following:
- Zeppelin
- Junkers
- Junghans
- Invicta
- Police

locally, I only know 25 hours carry Zeppelin, Junkers in their stores.

Other than that, you can look at Fossil

Junghans have hardly any large face ones actually,,,

Invicta..hmm first off, not really a swiss brand anymore, bought over by the Americans i believe and they operate out of the US. Many many many different watch designs, most very large and blingy; please for the love of god, do not buy Invicta unless it is DEEPLY DISCOUNTED as their strategy is to price freaking high and offer huge discounts. Never owned one before, so cannot comment on quality and reliability; but if you google, you will read mostly negative comments on this brand's QC...

I personally don't like Invicta watches. They are WAY TOO BIG and BULKY.

how about Stuhrling? I quite like some of their Skeleton automatic designs. Pricing very affordable... $100 to $300 range. planning to hoot one just for casual wear...

Where can i view the seiko 5 collection online?:)

skywatches, creationwatch, very good to look see the various models and get a feel for the pricing; but best to buy from bencoolen, bras basah, people's park etc, can expect around 35% discount off retail price.

Actually i would rather go for design because 200-300 bucks dont think can get any good movements.

can la, seiko, orient and citizen does pretty good stuff for this price range, my seiko monster has been giving good and reliable service since 2009...
