i noticed many ppl are concern with getting their watches all scratch up.

sapphire crystal does eliminate the face from getting scratch what about the case and bracelet?

Longines does have Ceramic Dial. Rado is famous for full ceramic.
Sinn and damasko do have harden steel.
anyone have info on carbon fiber?

thinking of building a list here. no love for quartz watches not listing zeno or TW Steel


- IWC do offer a few ceramic selection
  -->  IWC Ingenieur Ceramic retails @ us$7.5K (in house movement)
  ---> Pilot's Chronograph TOP GUN @ us$7K (mod ETA 7750)

I was looking around for this. Don't think it's so cheap, at USD$7k (SGD$10k) only ?

The only thing that comes close to my mind is a Seiko 5. You could probably get a basic auto for RM200-220.

yeah, Seiko 5 automatic. Got one for my kid for rm180, the model that was issued to the Japanese peacekeeping force in Iraq.

i'm undecided between IWC Aquatimer Galapagos & Rolex Submariner. A few advised me to get the Submariner but i think it looks more 'mature' which i'm not.

i think the Submariner is suitable at any age. can never be too young to own a crown.  rclxms.gif
