Not bad... seiko for 10yr old...
Speaking of buying watch. ...completely forgotten to post the graduation watch I bought for my niece...

In the end...we nv go bencoolen or mustafa or bras basah. It was this watch shop at The Arcade Level 1... kim hype co I think....
He saw this Arbtus NY watch and fell in love with it.

He said he chose this watch cuz he wanted a more matured looking Executive watch

Original price was 658 iirc... after 25% disc was abt 495.

Quite a good deal I think as a few weeks later I saw a arbtus AD in bedok mall selling same model at 700+

Wow nice piece

Nice and substantial looking watch.....but I think it uses Chinese movement...what's the local warranty like for this brand?

Any potential sellers? Please drop me a pm! Haha. Does it really resemble the original fifty fathom?

I try to do it with my phone and post it here. Btw, the quality of the bezel is as good as stock.

Sgroc has a piece on sale. $300 iirc

well, the mod is to make it look like 1 but it isnt 1. theres cue that pays homage to it. overall dont think too much of it. if you have the money for the real thing get the real thing. if not, get this and enjoy it as it is. the watch itself is really a steal at the price. damn solid piece.
