wow.. looks awesome...

Romain Jerome always comes with unique or probably weird watch with heavy price tag...there are titanic DNA n also moon dust DNA watches...

Didn't like the Suunto? Here's another one of my contributions to the affordable watch thread:




Seiko 7S35 Automatic Dress Watch w/Leather Strap

A friend of mine in the states recommended I purchase from "Wayne's Watch World" at www.roachman.com in 2005.
I had planned a trip to Malaysia prior to this, and later learned that this guy deals out of a watch store in Penang.
So during my trip to Malaysia I was able to inspect it and pick it up at the store. At the time, of course, I did not know that I would be living on that beautiful island.
I also did not know that some thief would break into my home, including the lock on my room door, and steal my watch among other things.

The automatic movement was just "okay" and as good as expected for RM ~700. The counterweight/rotor did not spin as freely as the ones in ETA/Valjoux movements.
Quality and detail is fairly good - I might consider buying another one. Of all the well known mainstream brands, Seiko is one of my favorites. Great price for style, brand recognition, quality and ease of service. Yes inexpensive so many people own one, but they have a huge selection of styles.

Very elegant dress watch for nice occasions or even everyday wear. Many people think that it costs more than twice as much as what I paid. Seiko uses Hardlex instead of Sapphire Crystal.
Exhibition caseback with 23 jewels and 21,600 bph.

Cheers!

Congrats
Buy whatever you like, no need to ask for people's opinion. Of course Tag is a decent watch. Everyone on the street recongnise them
Discount ~ 15% on most ADs.

Used to be 18% right?

thanks very happy as this is my second watch purchase ! (when i am adult of course!)

been watchless for almost 2 years.. btw are watatime watches genuine?? reliable?? because i am getting from watatime klcc thanks

the discounts are fixed?

I like the G-Chrono instead. The white one with signature stripes. But how much are you paying for this?

If you want a mass production watch (1+ million watches produced a year) I am not certain that spending RM 4,000 is the best way. If they are producing so many watches, it's really not that unique anymore, even though the price point is not exactly cheap. Plus a lot of people who just want the name get the F1 in quartz and pay a lot of money, for not a lot of watch. I think I'd rather have an Omega if I had to do one of those mass produced "luxury" brands, but that is strictly a matter of opinion. You can get a lot more watch buying a loaded Seiko, IMO - though many would argue that the Seiko brand is not quite up to par with Tag Heuer. That being said I do like them Monaco's.

Also, although I own a few, I am not a big fan of "fashion brand" watches. Sure there a lot of great designs by Armani, Dolce, etc, but those aren't real watch making houses per say. I was "taught" by a long standing community of watch enthusiasts when I had my first "expensive" watch many years ago. It was a Movado with the museum dial and two-tone stainless. I paid about RM 2,000 for it. I thought that this was considered high end luxury watch making.

Although, Cartier as a jeweler is fine. The LV watches, pure fashion, but very nice looking. Not sure if I'd ever own one though.

In the end, Like ck77, do what you want, because it is your money. I am just opinionated that way. =) Many people may not agree with my strange watch choices as well!

yeah watatime sells original ==. tag heuer F1, definitely theres a huge discount. can get from 25%-30%. at the end of the day. get anything that makes you happy.

I like this one from g timeless tho because its timeless and so prolly wont get outdated for very long time.. and it has diamonds whichh makes it look more elegant..

Retail price is 3690 , but i got it for 3100 after discount

Actually i know that fashion houses watch are not really great choice.. bt with my limited budget i cant afford to get more expensive luxury brand such as omega ( i prefer zenith or rolex though) .. And i am a very brand conscious person so i'd have to pass for high end seiko because i am not really into the mechanicals stuffs anyway...

As for armani watch there is only one i want which is giorgio armani watch ... (not the emporio one) they only have 1 design if i am not mistaken ..

Yeah louis vuitton watches are nice looking considered them too bt after much thoughs they are too expensive

I definitely understand, and agree, Seiko won't have the panache as a Tag, and LV watches are quite overpriced.
There is one Gucci watch I like, and it's the digital model.

how much will U be paying for the Gucci and Tag?
for both I think can get a nice Bulgari Diagono, I prefer that over these 2 watches.

whr to get this in kl?

http://www.uhr.info/ only online, that why they can keep prices so low.

i am also brand concious, but after looking at my dad's new seiko ananta, it change my whole perception towards seiko.

which model? no pic sharing?

Seiko ananta are great...the finishing are superb...

the seiko ananta double retrograde the one with the 6r24 moevement. lol my dad doesnt really let me touch his stuff. will take some pics and write a short review about it when i get the chance to do so. its an understated watch. btw any comments about the new ananta moon phase?
