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. |

QUOTE(nando @ Dec 30 2010, 10:49 PM) Oris ...you cant go wrong...but neither it is a spectacular brand.... Thanks for the valuable advise. 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..  This gonna be my 2nd watch since I've been wearing my Seiko Chornograph for more than 7 years. I am not a FI junkie  For the brands that you mentioned, I only knew Ball which was out of my budget. The cheapest Ball was close to 8k  However, I will search for the brands that you mentioned and read some reviews before deciding which 1 to go for. Any pro and cons of a watch built on titanium case ? Forgot where I read from that mentioned titanium is not scrach proff compared to stainless steel. is that true ? |

Hmm I think I will go for ORIS after all. I dun care much of what movement since i dun know much of it.
As long as I love it and wear it all the time .. it will be worth it. |
