Anyone has comment on the Certina DS Action Diver (Ref.: C013.407.11.051.00)?
certina
Look nice neh.. i think the black 1 is sexist than the titanium version.. maybe cause i prefer black than grey color..

IMO, too much of a Sub homage.

Oris Aquis got more character I think.. or if that's too dressy... Longines Hydroconquest? Approx same price range I think.

My collegue just bought one... looks better on the wrist than on pictures.

nice watch ..with 1 hand

to me, the longines hydroconquest looks more dressy than oris aquis cos the aquis looks bigger than its 43mm.
hydroconquest is also slightly cheaper than the aquis...i think maybe about rm400 cheaper?

Yeah the Oris is HUGE but reason why I say its more dressy is that I can't see myself wearing that with pagoda singlet and selipar tat seng while the longines got a more tool-ish feel to it.

The Oris may work with a suit but I don't think the Longines can.

What do you think?

I prefer the hydro conquest better.. I consider it sport, tool and dress watch.

As for oris aquis, will be sport and tol watch only.

nah oris doesnt go well with a suit...hydroconquest is better...just that i dont like how the hydroconquest bezel looks...
imo the hydroconquest is another one of those watches that look nice in pictures...but not so in real life.

the longines is about RM1k more expensive than the certina..

Better still.. But double price... Longines legend diver or if double up again .. Tudor Pelagos

u might double double till asking me to get a sub..

Hmmm.. That sounds like a great idea :Lol

Longines is higher than certina in everyone's eyes.. Most will agree higher than oris as well.

1k premium to certina is acceptable I guess.. I think hydro conquest is their cheaper range..

black bay or seamaster pro

every watch got diff range...even oris got
but if compare hydroconquest vs aquis...i'll choose aquis.
then again, i'll take a seiko monster or orient ray over a certina

39mm is around 2.5k which i think a little too small as i think my wrist handle my black monster quite well.. the 41mm is the 1 with RM1k more expensive than certina.. actually i dunno my 6.25' wrist can handle the certina anot..

I'll take Sumo over the above.

anything but a certina right?

certina really that bad?.. .. actually im looking for something quite a sub alike but not that sub-ish.. a classic and simple diver will do.. wearing my seiko BM for more than a year and now my hand is itchy to look for another watch.. we all have the same symptom for this hobby i believe

Maybe I'm old fashion or even misguided but can't really understand this whole homage thing (some design cues are alright la). It's like marrying a girl just because she looks like the girl you always had a crush on but out of league. It's just not right



So the natural progression....

a piece that hardly to find and it might be too big for my wrist..

no la, not that bad.
but for around rm1k got plenty other choices also...for classic looking diver...probably look at the orients or seiko skx007?
