Hey guys,

What about this watch? Any comments

http://www.tagheuer.com/the-collection/aqu...=WAF111Z.BA0801

I have google and read some opinions on quartz and automatic and it seems quartz not the so right choice.
*
nothing `wrong' or `right' when it comes to quartz.

its just that most watch people are people who appreciate movement..Therefore, to them, a movement that draws power from a simple battery is consider soul-less. also, they dont fancy the second hand moving by jumping to next marker...

on other hand, automation is all about design, elegance, etc....... Its part and parcel of watch collection...To a true watch lover...movement is really important...so its common people like this will not fancy quartz...

but quartz have advantages....no need to wind or adjust time....just pick up and wear..and they're usually cheaper.....

having said that, i dont think its worth buying an expensive quartz....anything above RM2k for quartz is consider expensive....most watch lovers will ask you to grab a automatic japanese or instead...or some lower priced swiss names...

Design wise im with tissot but somehow i like the exclusivity of CW as its less 'popular' compared to tissot. Tissot is like everywhere biggrin.gif

Comments?i'm 25 and my sister commented CW C9 design as 'too old' for me wink.gif
*
hi bearbear...from Liverpool forum jump until here? hehehe

i will go for Tissot...because i have 2...coming to 5 years old...absolutely no problem....

but if you dont like common factor (people may have same watch) then go for the CW).

but then, dont listen and take 100% what people say when come to watches..we can listen to opinion but at end, you make the choice....because u will wear it and see the dial...get what pleases your eyes...and what will please you for long time...

patryn suggested Stowa and Archimede...

i also suggest Steinhart.......

google for watchuseek forum and visit the Steinhart forum...not too bad...
also, someone from MAlaysian watch forum just brought a Steinhart....since you show 2 models with white dials, you may like it too...

For nurses who need to constantly need to wash their hands, deal with human, a wrist watch is a health hazard. the metal clips may scratch patients, may entangle with bandages etc. And the wrist band will harbour nasty bacteria... That is why a wristwatch is a no no whilst on duty...

but its still a normal watch right? just that its not worn on wrist?

Dear all pros and amatuers,

I was thinking to get a 3-5k mechanical watch preferrably ORIS range.
Any recommendation ?

I like the design of TT3 day date series with rubber straps.
Any one that own this model care to shed some lights ?

Thanks in advance and the information in this thread was very challenging for newbie like me to digest.
*
Oris ...you cant go wrong...but neither it is a spectacular brand....
With your budget..perhaps compare a bit more wider.......Ball, Fortis...I assume you like Formula 1...some think Tag's F1 series are actually good representative of racing watches....although some might not like the quartz models...
If you're a bit more adventurous, try look into Laco, Stowa, Steinhart...Even the lower priced Christopher Ward has gotten people excited here...

You'll learn 2 important things here in this forum

1. never spend on designer watches.

2. buy what you like. Listen to opinions, etc, visit websites, see photos, and go for one that will capture your heart. It took me 6 months to zoom down to my Sinn U1 and i am still madly in love with it...

all the best..
