QUOTE(versey @ Feb 26 2012, 05:17 PM) Generally LCD watch display life is about 30+ years! Using solar energy, and reduce battery consumption is good, saving the earth. If LCD watch can tahan 7 years only, then how long LCD TV or LCD monitor can tahan? 3 years?? Please read more about G-Shock watches! G-Shock is build to last many years!! http://forums.watchuseek.com/f17/g-shock-u...lay-416356.htmlI read about the LCD lifespan in the owner manual. It is my mistake, I shouldn't generalize it too early. When the time comes to chg the rechargeable batt, I hope u r mentally prepared to pay for batt.

QUOTE(gladfly @ Feb 27 2012, 01:37 PM) Err...you can try Watatime shops. The one in Subang Parade still carries Omega..but not all Wata carries Omega.They usually give better discounts. But overall...discounts for Omega is quite standard..Hourglass or Sincere about max 10% unless you getting clearout stocks. I was told this by a salesgirl from Cortina Watch (Fahrenheit88 branch) - they can give >10% discount on Omega models provided you do not ask for a store receipt. The warranty is still valid though you would have to hold on to the warranty card or there would be no proof at all.

Guys, if you were me, which one would you choose between these two:  .jpg) Both of them are leading in my shortlist. I just cant decide which one to pick. If you guys give me some input, I might be able to choose.  . I like both of them. It's just the price of Tag is higher than Tissot but still within in my budget. thanks!

Even u ask me choose Casio,Seiko or Tissot...I'll NOT take Tissot. I don't see people collect Tissot, for budget-end collectors people go for nice G-shock and Seiko.  , for mid-end side...TAG and OMEGA, for high-end I dunno lah...

Come on, I don't think it will be a stressful activity to change battery, rite?? Anyway, why worry about changing battery now,isn't it too early?

It all depends on your preferences. If I had other options, I'd go for a Hamilton Khaki or Jazzmaster chronograph, or a Ball. Solid designs and value for money pieces.

Im actually planning to get a meistersinger N01 but i cut find in anywhere in malaysia and the closest i can get is in Singapore which i have no means to go so I'm looking into Maurice Lacroix and Frederique Constant.. Can i know which is a better brand/watchmaker. How to they stand in popularity and value (pls don't include their top of the range watches) More interested in Maurice's les classiques and Frederique's runabout/classics/index collections.. Please do advice and recommend other brands of similar price tags and models if any.. Budget - Around RM4k, appreciate if its lower Style - Chronograph with leather strap, Diameter of 40mm and more Movement - Prefer automatic, would not mind quartz if the price is low

Thanks anyone knows? Rado not famous enough to have people's attention? or not worth to get? This series I am interested. http://www.rado.com/watches/integral/detai...UID=MetaProduct[267]&client_session_startArea=4 Last I check the price is rm5400 there. you think worth or still can get cheaper? I choose it because of my small wirst. Those big big watch like Tag just doesn't fit.

Must be the awkward location of the date counter - I really hate watches that position their date counters as such (but that's just me la). But as with all watch recommendations, I think first and foremost, go put it on and see how it looks on you. A lot of the details in a watch you don't know until you physically handle it. If you have narrowed it down to only these 2, then I think you'll have your answer as soon as you put it on
