i hope to get 1 frm the pioneers but rm2k is budget. can recommend any brands other than seiko? if possible, dont want another seiko bcoz already own 1 now. heheh.

Hi guys,

First of all please allow me to praise this fantastic trade. I have never owned a watch in my life (and I'm 26!) and have recently got interested in buying a watch.

My first choice was a Victorinox but after reading and going through this thread with a magnifying glass (there might have been some selective reading but I enjoyed every word), I stumbled upon the Oris BC3 DLC.

I saw the price in Mid Valley and it costs about RM3.1k. I'm not sure if Oris is a good brand per-say but it looks like a watch that I want, simple and clean looking.

Like everyone, i want my moneys worth. So could you guys please advise if the Oris BC3 DLC or if Oris is a good brand for a watch?

Thanks so much in advance. Please if there is any way I can contribute to this thread (with my 1.5% of knowledge of watches!) please do tell me.

Wow, as expected, the feedback was brilliant and way beyond what I was hoping for.

Thanks guys and after much consideration, I've set my priorities on buying the Oris (despite the detailing which i kind of get a grasp. Oris has lazy designers!)

The lowest I got was RM3.1k. Sadly, I can't read Chinese but I saw the pricing to be NT21k which converted should be about 2.2k/2.3k. How much would shipping cost?

I am going to survey for my first swiss watch's purchase for my wedding hantaran  (getting married soon  )

Budget not much.. Range of RM 900 - 1.3K only.

I narrowed down my choice to these brands :

a) Tissot

b) Victorinox

c) Certina

Hi,

First time post in this thread.  Quite impressed with what i read so far with such good sharing of the information among members . Keep it up guys

Any shop around Sunway, Subang or  Shah Alam which I can get a good price ? Saw one watch  shop inside Sogo at Jalan TAR that carried Certina last month but I seldom venture into that area

Thanks for your suggestion / recommendation !!

Why not getting chrome branded watch if budget limited?

patryn33,

Yep..quartz definitely...since the rest is out of my league....

pb/axcelis,

some of the model in those 3, caught my attention with the price & the design

hanzo79,

yep..something to see for the hantaran..btw i miss ur victorinox ad in lyn & mwf...cool stuff bro !

You must need brand new watches for hantaran right?
I remember my fren hantaran he gave a pair of watches, one men and one lady size so one pair...
You looking for a pair too?
I have seen pair watches frm Tissot that looks quite nice...
Certina and Victorinox abit on the sporty side bro.
My 1st is a Tissot and you'll nvr go wrong be it quartz or mechanical.
Just my 2sen.
Congratz on getting hitched BTW... welcome to the married n miserable club...   

Am just wondering is there any watch box that will have periodic vibration or similar in nature that can maintain the movement of automatic watch if its not in use?

My dad has been complaining about the watch I gave him since he has to adjust the time whenever it has been idle for more than 1 day.

Let me know which one, if I have it in stock then I can give you special price... By the way, I'm having TW Steel promotion 25 % discount. You can check with TW Steel pavilion how much they're giving...

I don't own this watch but I own a hamilton watch
37mm watch - U like smaller watch?
anyway, it is on a eta 2824 workhorse movement. no decoration.
Hamilton should be a elaborated grade, concern with accuracy below is  a chart on page 1 post 1.

if U are paying RM2.4K thats pretty expensive. I can get a ETA 2824 same grade cheaper but not with a well marketed brand like Hamilton.

page 1 post 1 does show a few watches that is in this size.
