Hi Bro,

Thanks for your reply...

i've visited city time in kch last month it doesnt seem a good idea buying watch from them. The owner  Desmond use his friend shop in Spring to sells Pre owned watches.
Hi Bro patryn,

point taken.

just wondering is that safe to purchase watch from watchseller

this timepiece caught my attention..

http://www.watchseller.com/epsoponehans.html

single hand dial

ic. but still its not a good deal. you can try time square. afew used watch dealers. that site you posted generally the stuff they sell quite exp. Like the used tag carrera on their web selling for 6.2k. can get it outside for around 4.5k

any1 can give opinion on Fossil AM4257? I feel the description in the website quite insufficient

sad to hear that ME1066 of Fossil has discontinued..I quite like the watch design
*
what type of opinions are you expecting? i am sure your aware its a fashion watch. so its all down to the looks of it. do you like it? if you do then just buy it. its a quartz movement so its generally reliable. as for the quality of the watch, its a fossil and it cost 95 usd, so don't expect too much. Personally it doesn't appeal to me.

Hi there guys, I have RM 1000 to spend on a watch, eyed a lot of watches to date, in the end decided to get something with a white dial(black dial is second choice) and leather straps. Looking for unique brands with good value. On my mind at the moment are Tissot Visodate, Luminox Field Date, Timex Compass and Victorinox Infantry. Preferable case size 40mm +. Any other watches I should consider ? thanks for the help biggrin.gif

stick with the visodate and u'l do fine.

so which is coach/nike?
i of course wil think both coach and nike are better

in that case your going for brand image i guess.

go for a tag then since its more marketed.

at the end of the day, like what i always say, just get the watch that makes you happy. Seriously, happiness and satisfaction kills away practicality most of the times. No point owning something you dont like.

Hello guys,

With the budget below RM200,

Can I get any watch similar like this:

-Look simple
-Date display is not necessary
-Prefer Casio, Seiko, or other brand.
I know it's hard to get any branded watch with low budget. Just try some luck as someone could recommend me any.  notworthy.gif

You can get Seiko 5 for less than RM200?

wilekiyo: Try this series also (its more than your budget by a bit) http://cgi.ebay.com/PARNIS-PI25-42MM-VINTA...=item4154e25f84

Or from here http://manbushijie.com/productshow-331-2.html#  (join the seller's site and the prices drop a lot)

Anyone here is a fan of Maurice Lacroix?
I own the Pontos Rectangulaire Chronographe and i really like it... beautiful watch... retails for rm11800 after discount i think around 8k... I'm a fan of rubber strap watches. Previously owned a Tag Heuer Carrera but sold it coz too many fakes around...
Now I like the Baume & Mercier Riviera XXL Chrono in black PVD and Gold... another rubber strapped watch that catches my interest.
My dream watch will be a Zenith El Primero Chrono but i might only afford it in another 30 years or so... :haha:

big ML fan here. IMO thier fit and finish is top class! ncie pieces you have there

I always view a fine timepiece as a reflection of my current standing career wise.
You won't see a CEO wearing a casio or swatch do you?
Of course there are also overkill when a kopitiam boss or mamak boss sports a Rolex.
I am honestly not a big fan of Rolex. I view them as a security item that the owner can let go when in financial difficulty. Watches that i love and feel comfortable wearing is the utmost importance.
I have a Hamilton Navy Frogman automatic chronograph powered by a "modified" valjoux 7750, costs me 3k. My maurice lacroix is also powered by such a "modified" valjoux 7750. Ppl dun understand why 2 watches using the same movement can be different in cost.
There's more premium brands out there using a "modified" valjoux 7750 that cost in the noth of 50k... go figure.
I got a lot of slack frm watch afficionados telling me to keep the 8k+ i spent for my maurice lacroix and get one with an in house caliber. More value they say.
But this is just my opinion, get the watch that you feel connected with in terms of design and feel. No use buying a watch sporting an in house movement with multiple complications but it's sitting nicely on a tabletop watch winder. Get my point?
Can read this if you guys a free.... i find it interesting.

basically just buy what you like. and yeah for your info there are many high ranking proffesionals who do wear cheap watches. there are even rich business people who wear replica watches. Some poeple choose to spend on cars, some spend on watches, some spend on other stuff. In short, just get whatever that makes you happy.
