Thread title "Compare Tissot vs Victorinox" by kurosaki_ichigo merged

Tissot is under the swatch group, i would expect they get more discount getting movements. 1 reason why tissot is more affordable.
other reasons may include, thats how they wanna priced themselves, cost cutting comes from getting case make in china, they may not spend much time regulating the movements they get from ETA, and maybe QC.

Golano swiss make very affordable swiss watch, however QC is a mix bag from what i read.

Looking for my first watch budget under 1.5k.

-auto movement
-leather strap
-width 34-38mm
-6-8mm thickness
-classic look
-without chronograph
-with date

Any brand recommend? As my wrists
sizes small, im afraid later item bought
through online and it doesnt fit me. How
to deal with this problem and what measure
need to make?

CW............

1st of all auto + 6-8mm is just not possible.
auto + ~10mm is possible.

U have to look at page 1. there is a list of possible brands.
so far only these 2 watches come to mind
- hamilton watch (Field mechanical size at 33mm) retail price ~rm1.1K but thickness is greater than 8mm iirc
- Stowa Antea Kleine Sekunde (35.5mm at 6.8mm thick) however its priced RM$1.8k and need to wait for 1-3mths.

bought online and don't fit! don't remove those tags, and ship back to return it. many online store have good return policy, with the exception of Stowa.
not heard of anyone returning their watches.

if u have tried watches with your specs. 24-38mm and that thick and it suit u well, chances are similar dimension watches will fit u too.

@ alfredfx, Christopher Ward wouldn't satisfy the 6-8mm thickness. ETA 2824 or SW200 are thick. watches on these movement generally at ~10mm thick. 6-8mm only mechanical. btw have CW shipped your order?

hi patryn33, finally took my decision...
found the real picture of silver dial and I doesn't like much with the mix of silver and white because the colour was alot different...
now already prepare my $ to get ready to order the nearly new cream dial with calf when it have stock hope it doesn't take long

haha... seem like U share my taste! cream looks better.

they want to verify my cc info and details.
they mention that of late there are few fraud cases from malaysia ...

hope they won't block from malaysian people buying it because of the fraud cases

cancelled the previous order and pay through paypal (they still cant verify my information). Done through paypal and HSCB called me to verify. Weird

junkers horizon has all the spec u mention. red army watches is having a sale, go pay em a visit!

http://cgi.ebay.com/MAURICE-LACROIX-SWISS-...=item45f30426b1

and

http://cgi.ebay.com/Maurice-Lacroix-Master...=item3a5b347d2e

i checked around online from thier previous transactions.. all also around 1.5k usd.. what do you think?

didn't know u getting it thru this route.
if its at ~us$1.5K go for it!. its hard to find a mod and decorated 7750 done at this price

haha. well since its such a big difference i think i get it through ebay.. its generally safe right? since the seller has a 99.9% feedback.. what do you think man? as this is my first time buying from ebay. thanks for your advice.

did U google seller? I found these but posted by same guy. didn't look deep into the issue.

hmm. yeah its the same case. i think i would rather go for bidfortime. seems like they look more reliable

Sorry, I really don't know the details. I'm only saying what was told to me by my friend. Because of what was told to him, he gave the watch to his nephew. Gosh, imagine if he found out that the watch is genuine and the salesperson was misinformed.

I wonder if these salespeople when they are hired, are they given training or a book/manual to read on the history of the brand, etc? Or are they just taught to serve the customer by getting the watch out of the display case.
