The Asian Watch Forum

This is a forum established to discuss all Asian watches as a primary focus (both Japanese and Chinese) as well as other watches from the least expensive to the most expensive. This will be lightly moderated and the idea is to have fun and share your knowledge and experience. Discussion of Homage watches is fine but please do not post pics of/or discuss fake watches. A golden rule here is to attack the post and not the poster.
