Project watch for the Malaysia Watch Forum Member

Agree with David. Initially when this thread started, the price of the basic watch was EUR650. Now Tourby has increased price to EUR850? Please correct me if I'm mistaken. Also, the Euro rate has gone against us.

At RM4k, its over my budget too. Can we consider an alternative or get the "stripped down" version?

[chrisyen]

that rm4k is for swan neck version....

Hi guys,
IMHO at 850Euros is a relative bargain because we're being offered the swan neck version of the Unitas by Soprod, not to mention the Glucydur screw balance. If I'm not mistaken the movement is a close cousin of the calibres ticking in the base PAMs, and we all know how much these PAMs cost. When you factor in these extras the price is quite worthwhile. Just my 2 cents.

Hi,

I believe the quoted price (EU850) is not inclusive of S/H, right? What do you guys think about Stowa marine original? It has about the same spec......but the price is cheaper (around EU760 for roman markers)......

shipping its cheap... i believed tourby can adsorb...

stowa case is smaller ! and stowa wont be abe to deliver....

[chrisyen]

i got n options...
we can still order the same watch together... and each individual can op for their movement!
we can still engrave the MWF on the caseback or laser print on the dial!

the other cheaper source is steinhart...






they are selling above three
euro 385 for the 1st non plated case and euro 400 for the plated one...

that is inclusive of 19% vat....
so its much cheaper....

from the 3 models, how about we ask for
1. st steel case
2. white dial
3. blue hand

but size is 47mm... they do hv 44mm st steel case!
they also hv better finish movement!

When you said Stowa not able to deliver, does it meant they don't deliver or just late.......I had ordered a the Stowa Flieger b4 and it took around 6 months time to deliver......a bit slow. But I really don't mind and I believe most of us choosing these watches not as their primary watch........

While it just another alternative which we can consider and I believe if we make a bulk order, the price can be lower than EU760......btw, the S/H charges is around EU30 if I remembered correctly......

Yeap, the stowa case is smaller and I wonder is it an enamel dial too......

yes. dunno how many months got to wait... 40mm is small to most mwf member!

stowa marine not enamel dial except the watchbuys special edition.... which the 12 is red color.....

[takashi78]

Steinhart sounds good Chris. I like the spec you proposed.
Price is attractive as well.
I think the LE words laser on dial looks good.

I think maybe it's time to revive this thread to stir up some iterest again.

i was browsing through the Stowa catalog and thought maybe the Antea series would make a fine forum watch.

it's simple... affordable...looks stunning.. a lil' history both behind the brand and the design of the watch and also affordable.

some slight customising would not be a prob i think since they produce their watches as per orders. anyone having a fedex account can shave off VAT charges too.

also maybe it;s jsut me but ...i rather have an auto than another manual unitas based movement.

how bout it?



at +-Euro 320..it's quite affordable imho

[terrenceterrence]

was checking out WUS and guess some Polish dudes beat me to the idea

here's the Polish counterpart's forum watch. kinda cool with the red seconds hand

[takashi78]

Thats a very nice example.
I hope our project had enough ppl participate to make it come true.

[dennis.T]

ya time to start over again...would u all consider Azimuth watch, something similar to w3.wristlounge.com project watches - Back in Time??

[terrenceterrence]

the BIT is too expensive.

the stowa only cost 320 euro and if we omit the box..and other frills, maybe can get a bit lower kua. any master negotiator here?

[skccks]

hello, can news about this project watch?

[terrenceterrence]

how bout smaller production numbers?

maybe that would fare better and also set a budget which everyone is comfortable with and work within that budget

with the euro at it;s low right now... kinda good deal dont you guys reckon?

[chrisc]

wow! count me in for this!

well! just my 2 cents...nowadays! initials are boring and out....lots of company are creating logos to be assosiated with....well! of course this is a good marketing...

well! it would be good if MWF could come out with some nice logo....maybe something like Panerai's logo?

anyway! i prefer diver or pilot watches...maybe something from MKII....paradive...simple and functional. We could also appeal to the divers segments..hahah!

check this...http://www.mkiiwatches.com/Home.jsp

or get a watch which shouts attention....something to talk about....this would generate more interest and maybe get more forumers...hehehe!

i think we really lack malaysian watch collectors in our forum site....but...hooray for this website/ forum...When i havent find this, i was browsing around lowyat forum and mudah.my

now i got this site..i dont browse those sites...

oh! there is also a custom watch maker from US...got a singaporean friend just sold his pilot watch to me...his prices are ranging from USD300-1000 depending on what is needed. maybe can use him....
can email me...and i can pass the contact over..
