Opinion for arbutus watch

[MF_Fiend]

Hi guys i need some opinion for arbutus (model:as12501swb) are this watch worth to buy? Are this watch really swiss made swiss movement?

[Cocas]

From my personal view point. This watch is totally not worth to own.

I remember it's not swiss made.

But certain model has stated swiss made on the watch as the model i state above does. Therefore i very confuse now

Normally, if the so called swiss brand watch does not list on this website:http://www.fhs.ch/eng/homepage.html

I will have big question mark on their swiss made claim.

This is how the malaysia official arbutus replied me:

Hi, This the Swiss collection we are using Swiss Movement, as the reason this collection will be slightly expensive from others collection.Can you see, our others collection will not stated there swiss made, as that we called Far East Collection

[Cocas]

For the fun of it i got one Arbutus in my collection. Generally, a nice and cheap watch to have with many "complications". This is the review that I did on it: http://easternwatch.blogspot.my/2014/01/arbutus-propeller-ar0055bb-automatic.html

If given another opportunity to get a second Arbutus - i'll give it a pass....

The evolution of "Swiss Made" becomes more and more interesting.....
If China movement setup a plant in Swiss, then all China movement made in Swiss will be "Swiss Made" right?

+1 for the orient star

[Cocas]

This new orient star is nice!

 i think Hamilton price is between RM2K to 5K for a decent swiss automatic watch.... RM3K++ for skeleton

[MF_Fiend]

Just looking for 2k+ skeleton watch

But if that the case that movement will be same price as any swiss stock movement like eta or selita
