sure why not. I believe someone here bought from them b4 without any problems.

talk but cannot buy bored me.
B&R should retail 14K and up to ~30k+. discount depends on your bargaining skills.

standard eta is misleading.
I believe what u meant is unmod eta movement usually 2892, but they are at elabore grade or better

2.5K Tag unlikely esp thru AD. Grey possible only F1 Series.

can get a Ocean7 if U are into mainstream brand.

UHR if a chrono and still have enough $$ to get a good strap to change it out. ETA 7750 at 2.5K budget that maybe 1 of the few brands you can find. Even Hamilton/Tissot today prices are way above 2.5K for a ETA 7750

Oris Williams F1 Team Skeleton Engine Date, iirc that is above your budget. it is above 3K or ~3.5K.

it is a real HOMAGE PAM.

depends on the movement.

really depends where U go really.
Quartz is cheaper maybe that is why so many is found locally.
go else where U may find more of their Master collection.

I have to say ML masterpiece collection is of a different class than Longines Masters collection.
sophisticated in terms of complication ML does have tourbillion unlike Longines. Can't really compare the 2 brands as Longines is more entry level.
I wouldn't say its fashion watch if u take Armani/DKNY/GUESS into the picture.

checked out page 1 post 1? finding the right lady watch under your specs is not easy. lady watch not easy to find auto.
frederique constant is definitely not within your budget for a open heart, and it will not fit the 100m and steel band requirement

certainly! just replace the movement if it is not working. a swiss quartz does not cost much

rado auto? just replace the movement. the shop should be able to tell U the movement number. The cost is still many times cheaper than getting it new.

Added on May 8, 2012, 11:18 ambring it to Tag and get a quote.
if the oil is dried and U wind maybe can cause damage.
if drop and parts moved and hands not moving, still not that costly. just send in to get a quote.
else getting a 7750 to replace since Tag is using a 7750 anyway.

Added on May 8, 2012, 11:25 amyes U should be able to swap it out.

it is a quartz, why is watchmaker telling u many parts of rusted?
like TV PCB with electronic components. even not rusted also hard to fix!
quartz, getting a replacement is very cheap.

here are 2 site selling movement, ID the movement and it replaced
http://www.esslinger.com/etawatchmovements.aspx
http://www.ofrei.com/page200.html

since you know which brands to go for just check out their page.
and the google for the price

any working budget?

fyi: Seiko group owns Orient.
Seiko acquire Orient so that Seiko can use Orient factory to make more Seiko watches.

2nd watch is not chrono what?
http://www.authenticwatches.com/tissot-t-s...4301605700.html

3rd watch is a quartz, not auto
http://www.jomashop.com/tissot-t17-1-526-52.html

1st watch is all the above, but its on ETA C01.211 a cheaper chrono movement
http://www.watchesonnet.com/t014-427-16-051-00.html

looks like U like black dial. a better chrono deal will be from this company. it is using the ETA 7750

Added on June 4, 2012, 7:30 pmJ Spring by Seiko, most watches cost around RM500. how much were U quoted?

This post has been edited by patryn33: Jun 4 2012, 07:30 PM

not all models no lume. the diver range great lume, please see below.
http://www.seiko-watch.co.jp/gs/collection....html?model=101

true. so one buy watch for others?
give me a GS any day, I don't care even if ppl go say har Seiko?

yes, so? buy the watch to show-off mentality?
ego boost? superficial?

bracelets, really depends... very subject. I have to agree they are not well decorated. No blue screws, credor range are better decorated.

very low production, only 5-6K made a yr. that I like.

Tag Heuer Friends&Family Sale 6/7-6/18

www.lvmhpartners.com
access key: dad&grad2012

U can try to get a mail forwarding company to receive it and ship it to you.
U can try www.shipit.com if U don't have ppl in US to buy and ship it back for U.

Added on June 12, 2012, 5:30 amit is a sale event that happens 2X a yr. they will update the list with fewer items as items get sold out.
Don't expect them to increase the list.

young ppl today like 40mm or 44mm watches, nothing wrong with 39mm, 39mm and 40mm is not too far off.
it really depends on how the watch is design, some watches have smaller dial but they wear big.

---

Added on June 12, 2012, 5:37 amhow far in the future? 20yrs later? the trend then maybe smaller dial! with china and india picking up alot of watch maker returning to thin and smaller dial size.

what is the price range?

depending on ppl some may see a Tag as fashion watch, and ppl may just think "Young and have $$ to burn to flaunt it"

no matter what you choose, just choose a watch that love. Don't buy it for others.
