LOL the first 3 post got absolutely nothing to do with the thread... heck not even regular thread poster to start with doh.gif

On topic, getting annoyed that despite Msia supposedly to be tax free for watches, I'm still getting cheaper prices down in Singapore! mad.gif

Seiko chrono with tachymeter less than 1k, quartz.

After owning 2 automatics, don't think I can stand looking at hands that tick.

Anyone feels the same?

It depends.. like my wife is lazy to adjust the watches whenever she wants to wear one... so... end up looking for a quartz to use daily sweat.gif

Added on February 7, 2012, 9:49 amOne tale says it all: About 18 months after he bought his first Campanola, Behm purchased an A. Lange & Söhne Double Split. “It arrived on a weekend,” he says. “I wore it to work on Monday. I so missed my Campanolas that I ran home from work at lunch and put the $100,000 Double Split back in the safe never to wear it again,”
he says. Ultimately, he sold the watch, which he would have once regarded as sheer perfection. “It had all the things I like,” Behm recalls. Its only flaw was that it wasn’t a Campanola.  sweat.gif

Very sweet.... then one let down is the quartz movement... but then again if its mech movement... with the level of complication... the price would be pretty astounding as well..

Are you looking at collectorstime / MWF? smile.gif

Don't see Mille Miglias up for sale often, but IMO 7k is alright.

You need to fill in the proper forms at the shop where you make the purchase as well. Then bring everything to the airport to claim your refund. I got that from buying a helmet in SG tongue.gif

Guys, I'm looking for a skeleton automatic watch as a gift to my gf, with a budget around 400-700. Any brand or model in particular would you recommend?

Found this: http://www.amazon.com/Kenneth-Cole-Automat...=pd_sbs_watch_2

but its not really available in M'sia, is it? Also considered some of the different movements from smaller brands like those from China that is coming up, but even that is not easy to get..
*
I think Kenneth Cole is indeed available in Msia... and I actually seen that model before.... I think they have other colour including all white which I nearly bought for my wife for fun. Er.... I think its in Mid Valley in one of those flagship stores.. Metro? Or maybe Tangs in Pavillion? hmm.gif

Yea, I know KC is sold here  tongue.gif , was referring to the model.. Will go check those places out! Or is there anything else that you might suggest?

I am kinda dissapointed in Tissot, as the one I bought for her already shown some issue just after 2 years of it.
*
I'm not sure about grey.. but I believe I saw the all white one same model. I thought it was a really good bargain at those prices and interesting (being all white).. it was sub 1k, but turns out to be too big for my wife.

Does luminous paint last that long? Even tritium tubes have a lifespan of 25 years.

Paint? I thought Luminox uses Tritium in some pyrex tubes?
