For long lasting, good value for money Ball is not bad.  but with Ball, you'll either like or not. Be careful of the `lume' attraction.  I find myself attracted to owning a watch that will light up the cinema but after careful consideration, i havent found a particular Ball
design that suits my taste. 
When I first saw the release of Ball Engineer Hydrocarbon Magnate GMT online I been following up with the AD for the release in Msia. WHen I got the call, I rushed to the shop with my wife ready to plunk cahs down... after looking with it IRL...... walked away dissapointed.

Anyway, I feel Ball watches abit on the rugged side, you have to be bigger built or like big/rough watches i reckon.

^ Ball watches are excellent in my opinion (more because of its association with railways, ruggedness and precision) but I have yet to see any with leather straps.

Forgot to mention that I have a small wrist, Ball might be too large i assume. I cant even fit to Rado true watches and the saleperson recommended the ladies range to me LOL.

add: am google-ing for Balls now, saw some leather ones..awesome
*
If you have small wrist like me then Ball's out. I was aiming for them before I gave up. Tried most of them but they are too big and too rugged for a slim writst.

OT : I agree with all except the 4th one. He gets a new wife.

As for Rolex, I'm still associating it as a loud uncle watch... maybe like nando says, i should stick to my perception.. might save me a few bucks tongue.gif

Was time shopping around KL last Raya break. ML has price under RM5K lar before discount. However the Master and Pontos series starts at 2X,XXX figures. The others are less pricey.

However, most of the nice reddot award watches are in the Master series. Also, i think most of the inhouse movement is in the master series. The onther less pricey stuff liek classic/star series are not inhouse movements.

a chrono dress watch.
U looking for a auto to quartz?
quartz plenty of choices from tissot to mondaine or christopherward
auto I am afraid none, the cheapest swiss auto chrono is from UHR.info which is ~1.7k
http://www.uhr.info/products/en/Chronograp...HR/UHR-283.html
This watch actually attracts my attention, a very clean and crisp lookign chrono, maybe need to swap to a nicer strap.

UHR listed it Euro399 inc 19% tax, does this mean they will discount the 19% tax due to selling it overseas?

Oh and its save buying form the site directly ya?

19% is the VAT tax. If you ship outside of EU, the tax is deducted which means the price is now (price with VAT) / 1.19, if I am not mistaken.
UHR watches are only available online.

That's what I was hoping, as we get VAT refund at the airport when we buy stuffs from Europe. Hmm.. that woudl make the watch a tad under RM1.5k (despite the super weak ringgit these 2 days), very nice indeed.
