well, u got to be extra careful buying on ebay. even a watchmaker can get tricked at time.
on ebay 1 base rule to follow, "if it too good to be true, say away from it'

CW on BBC radio driving huge traffic to the site and slow down the server.

just placed an order for C5

I am confuse, which watch maker is the best for the money.

Both are Swiss Made however what makes them best out of it? Tissot is more affordable than Victorinox.

do give a review when u get it!

Congrats and good to ride on the low EUR and GBP now.

already 2 days. they havent charged my cc and no tracking link sent.

herm... do u guys know any good shop in sgpore?
planning to go this weekend, so maybe can grab 1

it took them around 3 days to issue an email saying they shipped the item.
U can't really track it cause it via Royal mail

Will a Bell N Ross fit me? I have a very small wrist. Haven't had time to go to a watch shop to try it on.

sure, they have the smaller version BR-S which is 39mm, they are quartz and I think the retail close to rm$10k
the rest are either in 42 or 46mm

The thread title is misleading. Why cant just change to Watches Thread.. 10k watch is very affordable.

10k is affortable to you and might not be the case for others
ANyway, we discuss all type of watches here regardless of value

cool...will check it out...thanks!

i think first we must ask patryn to post all his collection and then we shall chip in too ;D

What do you guys think about the Calibre S movement by TAG Heuer.

The watch look very very nice was thinking of getting a casual watch since I have one which is formal.

I read an article that B&R Cost about 3K USD, but the movement for the watch is less then 500 USD, they were bashing them real hard.

He did in the first thread

"The Watches part 2 (affordable watches), poor/rich men watch thread or watch deal"
this title still misleading? for a rich men even 10B watch also very affordable.

controversy here, MOD can change it. there is another thread in hobbies. u can participate there.

Calibre S is a quartz. a cool video on it. retail at ~8.5k

B&R cost ~US3K after discount, movement maybe ~us$300. B&R is a good case maker and they have ppl that spend the time and regulate the watch. more importantly u are paying for the brand.

The problem is, these watches are in-between and soon you'll wish you had an upper grade Swiss watch like Longines, then Omega and before you know it you'll need a Rolex.

I say get an Orient Super Mako (200m) for RM600 and be done with it. Lots more street cred than entry level Swiss watches.

Any reputable shop in KL that sells used & good condition watches ??

I've only dealt with Passions in Bangsar (http://www.passions.com.sg) and CYT in Berjaya Times Square (http://www.cytwatch.com).
