Which brand to start off below 400? Seiko or Orient？seiko I like designs like SRP772K1 while bambino ER24002W looks good too. Prefer clean design plus I got small wrist.

Both are good starters, my own experience was better with orient for better bracelet and less chance of loose rotor. My seiko 5 rotor became very very loose like free spinning. Then again my orient was not see thru case back hahhaa maybe also
Spoil but I didn't see

ok its getting just a tad too chim for me liao
just the day can le (i.e. "5") to show its 5th Mar 2015 (example)

oh course if got Mon/Tue etc will be better, but i guess it will complicate the watch face liao..im a minimalist kinda guy..

PS: diver watch is not my cup of tea

PPS: sorry, hope i didnt offend anyone with e above statement! purely personal taste!

this is chrono type registers, showing only sec/min

sarw019 shows day/date

citizen eco drive may have something similar for 2 register day/date

Agree... Tag AD gave me my first ****ing huge scratch on the Carrera. Sibei heart pain.

Same thing happened for my Pam 388 which I purchased in Milan. The Paris AD left a ****ing deep scratch when I bought a dark blue strap and he helped me to change it. **...

The week after I got my AP ROC, I walked past a glass door and clanged the bezel on the door frame. KNS...

Watches are meant to be worn!

Even watch shops will inevitably leave scratches. The people at Rolex do many watches everyday, and they still leave scratches. Don't think just because they do it often means that they will do it perfectly. If you have ever done it yourself, you would understand that it is a very delicate process.

If you're taking off a metal bracelet, especially for the first time, I'd say there is a 99.99999% chance that there will be scratches. Changing out a regular leather strap on regular lugs (on a Lange for example) would be a lot easier and chances are much higher that the lugs will remain unscathed. Even then, just a small slip will leave a scratch.

If your watch comes with straps that have tool-less spring bars, then yes, the chances of scratchless strap changes are very high. But you'd also need to buy another strap with tool-less spring bars, which is extremely limiting in terms of choice.

I say if you really want to change straps for your watch, adopt a "it's just a watch and a few scratches where nobody sees doesn't matter" attitude. Otherwise, don't touch it.
