oris bc3 is within 3k I think but they dont have nice leather straps. Most of them are rubber straps.

Actually Tissot fits real nicely within ur budget..oris u might need to top up abit depends on model..

Try look at tissot first..

I saw Tissot. Didn't really have anything. Plan to go into another shop to check it out.

As for Oris, only rubber strap? No leather?

They have leather but a few only and not so good looking in my opinion. Besides, their clean and simple looks makes they more suit into rubber straps, making them very suitable in daily to daily basis watch. It's a nice watch actually and plus its automatic.

Yeah try tissot, I think tissot got plenty of nice leather dressy watch.

Save up till 7k and get a Omega seamaster quartz

Omega Seamaster Quartz? 7k?!

7k for brand new or second hand?

is it leather or steel?

Oris is swiss, using ETA or sellita movements. Cases/brancelets are China made.

chrono, diver, pilot difference hmm.

chrono is a complications. For more complications read below.

Diver, Pilot are watches design for a specific use.
Divers usually have 200m water resistance and a bezel that only turns anticlockwise to keep track of dive times.
Pilot watches since they are not going anywhere near water they are generally 30-100m water resistance.

what do you by the above in bold?

2-10K range is super wide.

is it cheaper to buy watch in malaysia or australia?

then is it possible to change Oris's watch leather to aftermarkets?

how about their casing?

This post has been edited by saru04: Sep 1 2012, 08:53 PM

check lug size, different design different size.

their steel case is alright, finishing may not be great but after a few knocks on even the most expensive PP also same same. LOL

LOL. If it is possible to change the leather strap then I don't mind and as long as the case is not too "fragile" then it's also okay.

But will consider others as well.

Omega Seamaster is really nice. but price wise is expensive!

Anybody got experience with Davosa watches? Is it good?

get a homage to it!

CW C60 with GMT and without GMT. What's the difference? Price seems to vary so much.

Wow. Can Omega Seamaster change its strap to leather? Haha.

U can change strap to anything on any brands as long as U can find a fit!

GMT is 2nd timezone, it runs on ETA 2893-2 whereas no GMT runs on ETA 2824 or its clone.
2893 only comes in Elabore grade, 2824 I believe CW only carry standard grade

anyone come across EPOS? how is their watch? is that better than tissot, victorix?

no replacement on battery?

i wouldnt be surprised if most swiss brands outsource, as they only need to be 51% swiss to have the swiss made label.
that said, oris quality is pretty decent anyway.
