seem like U have an older batch of kinetic, the newer ones last ~8yrs b4 failing.

i saw it going for around RM1500 to 1600, depending where you asked. But the lowest i saw was from lelong.com, at 1360. i plan to use this as sort of a beater watch everyday, while i save up and find a vintage explorer. I do have a seiko kinetic that looks quite similar to the tissot tho.

One of the few Tissots that I like, very classy. With similar price range and look, you might consider Mido as well.

hmmm i guess so.... anyway i guess either i will go to thong sia 1 fine day or else i will have to post it over to those website....

^that picture is really edging me to drive to Mid Valley to have another look at the visodate.

trying to look around to get the best price. The force is strong. will report back later in the day.

A very thorough review of the Visodate.

(Like some of you, this is the first Tissot that caught my eye... but the case back is snap on!)

thanks for all the links and comments. Appreciate it. Will go out and look around now.

save up for the vintage explorer.

I could probably get the explored for around 7 to 10k. Depending on condition. Btw, a lot of places have sold out on the silver visodate.

really? still have grey flowing around online.
if new cost ~1.5K your target to 7-10K explorer drop quite a bit, if take U 2 weeks to save 1.5K alright, if more than 1 mth save the money if I were U

pre own explorer ~1980s closer to 10K.

the tissot visodate is a fine choice...rare nice looking tissot...

waahhhhh.....Chairman Mao will be pleased with you! heheheh nice one

My x'mas present.
nando, where have you been?

Yeah but I don't think I'll be able to find one that is satisfactory so fast. Besides I probably need to have another watch to rotate, else my employer is going to think they pay me too much. Haha.

oh.. U not wearing any watch now?

white dial in steel is very popular. retails at US$650 or ~RM2k. if can get 30% still at ~1.4K.
http://www.shoptissot.com/product/T0194301605100.html

can get a popular CW C5 auto for ~1k or the UHR for ~900.
vintage explorer is not easy to come by esp something U rate as satisfactory.
in any case prices of vintage prices also go up in price (inflation and demand) so expect a 5-10% increase every yr.
don't think its used it stay at 7k yesterday and 10yrs from now, more likely it will become 12-14K 10yrs later.

u may wanna check with CK77 where he find his vintage rolex.
our friendly neighbor does have a forum on rolex, maybe they can show U the way.

didn't realise those ETA 2893-2 movement can be found real cheap.
esp the STEINHART GMT-OCEAN 1 under 1.4k
the rest like CW go for ~2K, Ocean7 go for ~1.9K

Hello people, What kind of automatic watch can I get for the price of RM400-RM500? I've heard about Orient being one of the affordable ones. What else is within this budget? It seems that I can't find any Orient dealers around. Can anyone help me with this?

i'm also on the hunt for a vintage.. a datejust 1603, fluted bezel with a silver roman dial or a silver stick dial..question is..where to find one?

If you're looking for Orient watches, there are a few shops in Sungei Wang selling them.
