Hello everyone,

I'm interested to buy a Mido Multifort Chronograph Special Edition. I saw one here in Ipoh and selling for RM6200 b4 discount. Is this watch worth the money I'm going to spend. I made some reading and find that the movement in base off ETA 7750 and modified by Mido. I knew a lot of people would buy a tag or oris but I certainly saw this Mido is lot cheaper comparing to chrono from Tag. Any suggetions from learned members here appreciated. I'm looking forward to buy my first mechanical swiss made watch. notworthy.gif

Thanks

I can't say whether it is worth it but 7750 certainly is a workhorse chrono movement. Been years and reliable.
Do check out first page if you want other alternatives. Hamilton do have models with 7750 with a lot less price.

Must be a classic as the brand "Le Coultre " was super ceded by the full JLC brand. What year was this manufactured?

according to History the birth of Jaeger-LeCoutre is in 1937.
no accurate way of dating exact yr. its 1960s from serial, it was given as a gift on Xmas back in 1964.
what I learnt back in the good old days. GM mangers would award their employees which have work 25-30yrs with a atmos clock.
today an entry model like that would cost ~US$5k.

too lazy to measure. copy from a site:
The clock, with its canted corner and rectangular body stands 9.25 inches high, has a width of 8.25 inches and a depth of 6.5 inches with a diameter across the bezel of 5.375 inches.

mido movements are generally Top grade as opposed to Oris. Tag mod those movement so can't really compare.
for me most entry level LE watches is not worth the money on resale.
http://blog.hellorolex.com/2010/04/mido-mu...al-edition.html

for value for money chrono try Guinand watch. but its not 44mm, 42mm iirc.
damasko. also good buy with your kind of money.
for brand maybe Sinn.

shop at local grey and U can get a Porshe Design for US$1590 (retail at US$5900)

never for an oris to be paying LE price if its about resale value. like the design ok can't help.
should be a Oris 733, base SW 200.

packaging simple.

Hey patryn33

U still so active in timepieces smile.gif

Well Well.....yeah the Oris is base SW200....
what do u mean by "never for an oris to be paying LE price if its about resale value"
Means Oris never fetch a good price for resale value?

Ohh my, u are trying to poison me with Porsche P'6000 smile.gif how much u got it?

I like the Bose® Companion® 3 Series II hehe awaiting to get these baby smile.gif

I admit the packaging for Oris quite plain..they should focus more on the packaging as well where ppl spending thousands and thousands of dollars for their timepieces

Bose? expensive... lucky I can get employee discount on Harman Kardon stuff.

oris resale value very weak, maybe as weaker than Longines/Tag.
I didn't get that Prosche someone on MWF got it and is trying to sell it. but the price is high!

in my opinion, never get the quartz for omega. it was around >6k if i wasn't mistaken hence you could get better watches within that price range. add 3k and you get the auto seamaster.

Will CYMA be a good choice??

http://www.cymawatch.com/collections/insid...70.100ST-ST.04B

I think I've seen this somewhere in Singapore for S$1K ++ with 20% Discount

Water Resistance don't have to be too high, 100m will do, and chrono function is optional. will wear during office hour only, with long sleeves. Kind of like a necessity in work smile.gif
