Welcome to the forum bro..

Typhoon · « **Reply #5 on:** January 01, 2011, 07:55:55 PM »

Yap, it is Sarawak. We live in the jungle and on the tree top.
We used to depend on Sun for time, now, we depend on good watches to tell good time.
Good to hear from the forum members.
Cheers

Any 1 want to join me?

Typhoon · « **Reply #10 on:** January 03, 2011, 06:53:55 AM »

Miri is more interesting. We have Niah and Mulu caves. Believe me, you will not regret. Maybe the 3rd MWF Gathering should be held here at the resort next to the world largest cave.
As for the expensive fish you are talking about, they are reserved for YB, Tan Sri, Dato Sri etc. No luck for people like me....

chrisyen · « **Reply #11 on:** January 03, 2011, 07:35:18 AM »

Yes. Gua Niah is my next target...

Any1 interested?

Can't b lah... KL also got ppl bring in empurau...
Now got ppl rare it in the river right?
I was thinking here selling rm6-700 per kg for rare one, swak should be cheaper, can't afford here then go there n eat, fresher n cheaper...

My ex colleague who did the earthworks for bakun dam brought back alot... He said it is selling much cheaper there...

Hi Typhoon,
Welcome to Malaysia Watch Forum.
Glad to see a new member from East Malaysia joining us. Which part of Sarawak are you from?

Typhoon · « **Reply #13 on:** January 03, 2011, 11:56:54 AM »

Hi MWF member. I am located in Miri. It is a small, peaceful and beautiful town.
Will try to do some posting later of the week.
Cheers

Just some sharing:
This is one of my collection - The Two tones Orient Star 300m Diver. If I am not wrong, I believe this is a Japan domestic market model and is no longer in production. It is been replaced by new models with new movement. BUT it has made its mark in the dive watch world, and it is here to stay.

I love to keep watches in their perfect condition. That is why most of my collection is in mint condition unless otherwise it is a special used model acquired from other forum members. Nevertheless, I am looking forward to have a wonderful session in MWF.

Happy surfing the posts!

Cheers
Typhoon

wow ur big orient in two tone is really special....

ancs88 · « **Reply #16 on:** January 04, 2011, 07:39:04 AM »

That's a nice piece... i believe it has 40 hours of power reserve judging from the pic, right?

Typhoon · « **Reply #17 on:** January 04, 2011, 07:40:18 AM »

Orient Star with Diver metal bracelet will make perfect combination. Hope you like it. However, they are a few Japanese watches do match this standard. More will follow up.

Typhoon · « **Reply #18 on:** January 04, 2011, 07:41:16 AM »

Yap. Power reserve but no hacking movement.

Typhoon · « **Reply #19 on:** January 04, 2011, 05:42:54 PM »

It is a keeper!!!

Typhoon · « **Reply #20 on:** January 18, 2011, 12:45:16 AM »

Are you Seiko enough?

This is another of my collection. Went through quite a distance to find and locate it. I had changed the original rubber strap to UTS. Looks good? What do you think

Anyone Tuna swimming in the West Shore?

takashi78 · « **Reply #21 on:** January 18, 2011, 05:38:43 AM »

One of my fav ver of the tuna!

Typhoon · « **Reply #22 on:** January 18, 2011, 07:04:54 AM »

In the past, Seiko had delivered some of the best design in Dive watch. It is more than just a watch to tell good time, but an instrument to withstand time, task and the environment. I had the 7002 and it is at the class of its own. Then the Tuna came along and surprised everyone. It is like a straight punch. Simple yet powerful enough to make an impact. In this case, our heart pumping. I strongly recommend all members to have a research on the tuna. It has the impact and effect similar to ipad, and this happened so many years ago...

Gentlemen, let me present another beauty to you. The SBDX005 Seiko 2000 Historical Collection - The Ultimate Tuna.

Hope you like it.

How are you getting these Tunas? Off the dealers or you order online? Great catch!!
