Grebel Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 When I first saw this, I thought the motif was of little capsules, now i'm not so sure...  CI0tIOhW8AA4Ga8.jpgThat's a sweet watch.... Tumbleweed 1

I saw one of these in Istanbul a few weeks ago and it looks very solid. http://www.amazon.com/Casio-MDV106-1A-Stainless-Steel-Watch/dp/B009KYJAJY  Edited July 15, 2015 by Brian Fantana

Skylark Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) That's got the look and its Casio so won't be total crap, thanks! I just followed the amazon link, its around R500, awesome. I'll have a look if they have them on eBay, free shipping and all. Edited July 15, 2015 by Skylark
wonduhboy Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 I just need your inputs on this one gents. Thinking of getting it as a "from me to me" belated bday giftFound it at www.mattarend.co.zaThey have quite a nice collection of watches at decent pricesAnyone got feedback on these?
MrJacques Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 Anyone got feedback on these? One of the guys at the office has one and he is happy with it. He says the reason they are so cheap for a watch with an automatic movement is that the parts they use are 'B grade' / factory seconds. He doesn't have issues with his watch though. The big date models go up to 39, so you'll have to manually adjust those. wonduhboy 1
Brian Fantana Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 Anyone got feedback on these?One of my friends purchased an automatic from that crowd last year, and it looks very cheap in my opinion. You can clearly see that they are trying extremely hard to make their cheap watches look expensive, but when you take a closer look you can see the poor workmanship. In that price range I will rather look for a minimalist quartz from a reputable brand. Citizen, Seiko, Orient Swatch, Timex etc.
