Hey guys, I need help with something. I would like to know how much does a basic Bell & Ross watch cost. If you can recommend me a good shop with a good price as well would be great. Thanks in advance.

What exactly do you mean by futuristic design?
There is nothing futuristic about automatic watches. They all operate using escapements that have been around for more than 700 years. wink.gif
For your budget, look at Swatch and Tissot watch collections with C01.211 movement.

Lol. They look similar from the back.

Thought you were getting an Audemars Piguet Classique Ultra Thin.  biggrin.gif

Ahhh yeap...
The Classique is another understated beauty....
Personally id opt for a Calatrava if i was after that sorta thing... or even the Altiplano...

Sigh... too much to buy and no money for them all

What are you referring to? You have yet to provide feedback on your definition of futuristic design even though I've given information that meets your budget and specs. UTSE.
In exchange for a large snogurt for two the following Sunday, I would be happy to give a few suggestions....

GST rebate is another 5%, so that's about 13%... just slightly better

However, I think SG prices currently is getting less competitive due to the exchange... stuff that I used to get in SG, I now find they are cheaper in Msia... the 2.5+ forex is not helping SG prices..

Sifus and experts, I 'inherited' 3 vintage watches (>20 yrs old) from my grandparents. Was thinking to send for restoration but am not sure which to restore....Valuable input needed from experts here.

The Enicar is the only automatic here. The other 2 are hand wind models.
