Tq Irfan 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.  For your budget, look at Swatch and Tissot watch collections with C01.211 movement.

QUOTE(Catnip @ Aug 24 2012, 07:03 PM) Lol. They look similar from the back. Thought you were getting an Audemars Piguet Classique Ultra Thin.  Added: More info on that movement. <Link>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 This post has been edited by yonggoh: Aug 25 2012, 12:56 AM

QUOTE(Irfan2397 @ Aug 25 2012, 12:13 PM) 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..
