nearly new are items bought and customer returned them within 60 days. I got mine nearly new and didn't find any scratches, it looked brand new to me.
if U don't like U, U can return it to get an exchange within 60 days. they have 60 days return policy and 60 mths warranty.
U getting a leather band, don't have to worry its too long. or are U thinking of steel?

Guinand G-2401 is at ~rm$2k the G-330M is rated at 330m with helium escape valve also at same price. both on ETA 2824-2

their series 20 chrono is at ~rm$3.2K see link below.
40 series reviewed here and they cost ~rm$4.1k. a little history on this brand, they used to make watches for Sinn, maybe Bell and Ross. movement are nicely decorated, U not going to find much work done on Oris and Longines. at 4k U not going to get a chrono on these brands too.

its midsize watch. get the C600 i got and its a nice 43mm
or the C8 at 44mm or C40 at 42mm, hard to find ETA 7750 under $2K. an ETA 7750 movement already cost around rm$1.2k.

try archimede they cost ~$1.5K and are at 42mm
http://www.archimede-uhren.de/EN/Arcadia.htm

a 39.5mm Tissot Classic Le Locle leather may cost around rm$1K or less.
btw not shop at below b4.
http://www.classybrand.com/watches/watch_f...41.1.423.33.asp

or Aristo. 44mm manual not auto, russian movement german made. not sapphire crystal, just mineral so can scratch

Bro, after my 3 month of saving, i have decided to go wit the longines hydroconquest or conquest. But b4 i go further, i would have few question to ask.
1. The different between the hydroconquest and conquest would b the ceramic bezel and stainless steel bezel. Is it worth to pay the extra 1.2k-1.5k for the conquest model? r two using same mechanic?
2. I have asked 1 of my fren which got some watch collection, he told me tat maurice and oris would b a better bet compare to longines. Is it true? Cause he say both brand quality and mechanic is better than longines, not to mention both hold better 2nd hand value.

Hopefully can get sum feedback here cause this is my 1st time spend 4k for watch, really dun wan regret later. Thanks...

Juz bak from central park and bought the longines hydroconquest http://www.longines.com/watches/longines-h...t/L3.644.4.56.2 at 3.6k+, i think it pretty good deal since the retailer price @ 6.2k, get around 41% discount. For oris, about 50% discount.

He wants a new watch.  smile.gif


Added on September 5, 2010, 1:43 pm@~Guyver~, i just realised there's a watch sale. Are those watches with normal standard warranty? Seems there's many brands.

I wonder sometimes why they offer attractive discounts? Could it be to clear up the stock for newer arrivals? tongue.gif

the sale ended yesterday. sad.gif
