Anyone fancy fashion watches?

I personally like Luois Vuitton regatta series. Any idea does any other brand offer similar watches?

Got it for RM1600++. Great value for money. I don't think you can get other brands with this build quality at this price...

Nice!! What was the damage? It's aquaracer series right?


On another note, I am currently looking at Stowa antea 390 day date. Concerning the metal bracelet,I'm not really sure if it's suitable for everyday wear. Looks like a dress watch with the metal bracelet. Any comments?

Pretty good money for a Swiss watch. Though I don't own one, wouldn't mind getting a Jazzmaster or Khaki chrono, usually can be had for ~3k. Seems to be less popular in MY due to lack of marketing.

Those sold on bodying are grey market if not mistaken. 2k probably means quartz. Do a search on the websites mentioned in 1st post and maybe the bay, there are good deals around quite often.

if u think metal is much of a dress watch then use leather. what are U doing everyday? desk job (white collar)? or U blue collar?
pay for the steel mess that like EUR$650 and buy the stowa deployment buckle for EUR$20, get a waterproof leather strap can change around.
today's leather treatment is very hi-tech

Their patented “AERO Lining” is guaranteed sweat resistant with a porous inner lining and a humidity layer. All of their straps are water resistant, some down to 100m.

That's great!! I just hope I can get the high tech straps locally here in Malaysia. Is it easy to change the shop? can it be DIY-ed?
