lol thanks for the suggestion, nice watches~ but are u sure it's under 1.2k? for me i just browse thongsia.com.my for stated reference price in ringgit. By the way i don't really care about the origin or the brand of the watch. i just concern about the quality of the watch that's tough enough to last for a long time. that's why sapphire glass is a plus for me. I really can't stand those scratches on my watch's glass even it's still work perfectly. 
And yeah, the reason for choosing non-battery-exchange-required-watch is because i heard that it's not good to open the cover behind the watch frequently or else it may affect the stuff inside and shorten the lifespan of the watch. is it right? 

Steinhart Swiss made with German owner.

wow... i just realize... highwind85, from what i know is people buy more than one watches to keep for value, eg Rolex. but 2 Seiko, one G-shock, one Orient? May i ask how u use these watches? wear according to mood? or use different watch during different location? no offence ya... =)

hmm... actually i prefer something that's classic... (but not old school lar... )
found one model during my research... here is it...
it's really the most beautiful watch i ever see. 
Montblanc TimeWalker Chronograph Automatic Watch, costs around RM20k!

any idea wat's the price in m;sia? i think the guy in iron man wore tat

wow.. bvlgari is on top of my dream watch list.. damn ex.. anyway i still can't get over the fact my CW is not coming to me... damn..

my banks said the merchant did not accept the transaction, there's no way i can check wif them(the bank).. i have to check wif the merchant

Thanks for the info. Went to some shops just now. The Tag was retailing @ RM7.1k. After 25% discount, was about RM5.3k. Pretty much within budget. The Omega is much more expensive even with discount.

hey..anyone here used seiko?? seiko is quite good fr poor man affordable watch... what watch u all recommend for pilots to use?? isee there are a lot watches for pilots out there which are mostly overpriced

Glashuette? Ranges form USD 8k to 50k++, not exactly in the "affordable" range. Good thing is you can get it locally, think its under swatch group as last time I went to service my Longines they carry glashuette there...

hi guys, have anyone ever seen this brand before?

http://www.glashuette.com/index.php?id=289&L=1

It's german made. the dial pretty much look like stowa for me. and they make their own movement.

wonder how much the price range?

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:

After reading the guidelines/advises, now I see no reason to buy expensive watches/timepiece anymore. My beat-up nokia (old model) can tell time as accurate as the RM 70K patek.

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.

Hey, thanks for the link... I did browse thru the website before but isit legit? Website constructed poorly and looks dodgy, that's why i did not bring myself to make a purchase.
I see all of you have shopped there before? Any feedback?
The Zenith you pointed out is not my style...    but a good Zenith nontheless
This is my style...

Crazy hor? 
Anyway, there's another criteria I need to consider when buying anything... wathes, clothes... is that I am married with 2 kids... and I have this rule with my wife that I call a 75-25 split...
Meaning if I indulge in something, my wife can do the same at 25% of what I spend.
Example...
When I bought my Hamilton at 3000, she bought a Cyma watch for 800 (more or less 25%)
When I bought my Pontos at 8000, she requested a Mido ladies automatic watch at 2200. (again more or less 25%)
IF i were to buy the Zenith Grande Class Open Chronograph currently listed at USD4590 = around MYR14500, my wife has the RIGHT to require a watch that costs around MYR4000... now tell me am I in deep shit or what

Frm my own pocket lor... haih... married life is tough.
