gigi,
yep.. it's a thick piece.. 44mm excluding crown.. eemm.. sorry.. buttons. no crown found.

sshark,
yes.. scratches on that particular location... i did some buffing, mild sanding and polishing to minimize the scratches. that's the best i can do, unless i fork out more time to use the power drill to do some serious buff.. which i think i won't.

i can make do with that tiny scratch.

Invicta Corduba 3965. I do like this watch with its Miyota movement. Got this in HK to fill the B&R itch long time ago.

Still under water. Testing the PO's depth rating of 600 meter ........ at 1 meter!

Nice and good watch. Leather strap has been replaced by the NATO. WR 10ATM with screw down crown. Too bad only the hands are luminous.

Nice pic and nice watch too,good to know IWC is doing well.

IWC is doing well so far and I did not hear IWC has any financial problem

Anyway, most of us won't know until they are really in trouble at the last min.

Should not be a problem as the parent has very deep pockets. If got problem, ask the sister to churn out more boutique edition watches.

Can't believe I am sitting here listening R.E.M. doing 'The Lion Sleeps Tonight'

Anyway, my Longines W.W.W. reissue.

Just love the dial.

Are the hour markers raised or flat on dial?

Just outta curiosity. How do you guys feel about those fashion brand watches? Like (in this case) Guess, BUM, and whatever else.

Cheers,
Matt

Nothiing wrong with those.
Just not so desireable among WIS and basicallly no resale value.
But if you like the design, go for it.

kinson · « **Reply #2266 on:** May 23, 2011, 10:21:14 AM »

@ck77: *nod. I just find that it doesn't seem so cool to me, and I assumed WIS wouldn't be too interested in it. Just curious when I saw Hobbit has a Guess watch, hehe. thanks

The hour markers are flat on the dial, ok maybe raised a tad.

The lume? Not bad. Here are some photographs, 30 seconds in the sunlight.

Partial darkness.

Total darkness.

Never an issue to me. Just get what I like, be it a fashion brand or not. Looks like must wear my Timex, Swatch and Ice-watch more often.

Why care what people think?
As long as you like it, buy it.
I buy watches to satisfy me and no one else.

All we can "advise" you is maybe how is the built quality, movt etc.

Value? Everyone has different thoughts on it.

This is very true. But watches for your own satisfaction after you are the one to wear them.

kinson · « **Reply #2271 on:** May 23, 2011, 11:21:43 AM »

Yeah, I guess. Still, I suspect there's some branding/mind thing involved. I mean, it's not like I'd pay RM10k for a Swatch (or something), but RM10k for a Rolex Sub would be awesome. Maybe movement, build quality etc etc involved. If it's a long topic, I'll start another thread instead. It's actually nice to get the watches that I like, but it seems that the ones I like are extremely expensive, lol, like the IWC Portugese .... That being said, some models on Getat's side is really nice and within budget
