Just to ask.

Where's a good place to get a Tag around KL/Malaysia? Or izzit better to get it outside of Malaysia?

And around MYR 3k, can I get a decent Tag or do I need to dig deeper?

Thanks smile.gif

RM 3k can get a Tag? Are you sure? Did you survey yourself?
*
As I said, I'm merely asking how much I need to dig into, before deciding anything.

Watches are harder to survey anyways, since there is no catalog for it unlike hardware parts.

Even so, what other brand/watch I can get for MYR 3k n above?

Some insight would be useful.

Besides Tag, what other branded watch can get at the range of 3k+?

No problem spending more, just checking out options before splurging on something smile.gif

Casual usage, day to day use. Metal bracelet preferred due to extreme way of life =,=

No special preference to the size, function or whatever. Do prefer to have date and chronograph if possible smile.gif

Thanks for the guidance smile.gif

You, good sir, has read my mind perfectly.

To be honest, I love Luminox.

But is there any place I can walk in and test it out other than buying online?

hi guys,

  this is my 1st post ever here. smile.gif i need some advice from the watch gurus here. i'm planning to buy a watch in 2-3 months time. my budget would be around 1.5k to 2.5k roughly and most probably i'll be using it on a daily basis.

    i'm aiming to get a tissot or oris or even a tag heuer (if possible) with that budget. wud it be sufficient? and as i'll be using it daily, i'd prefer the strap to not be made of leather. daily usage wud make it smell and break after 2-3 yrs time, rite? rubber (is it? XD) strap wud be good. i'm not really into steel straps as well (not sure if this is the right term too. correct me pls if i'm wrong smile.gif )

btw here r some watches that caught my attention. not sure if it's within my price range though.

can u guys recommend me some good watches for my daily use (within the 1.5k-2.5k range)? preferably sapphire crystal or better as i'm quite rough and i might damage the watch surface easily.  sweat.gif  thanks in advance! notworthy.gif

will do.. thank you so much!
BTW, quick question, I never really seen a fake rolex - tag before. Not those rm40 - 50 ones, those fakes that cost rm300-500.. They say the quality is quite good and comparable to japan made watches. Is that true? If yes then its hard to notice d..

If you are a watch enthusiast, its quite easy for you to notice.

Authentic Tags and fake ones can be differentiated..

I went around and did a little research and the so called AAA rolexes has something called swiss grade 1 ETA. Damn.. is there anyway a amateur can spot the AAA rolex without opening the casing?
*
My theory is simple, If i can't afford a authentic Rollie, I wont even buy it.

What's the point of buying grade AAA Rollie and pretend that it's ori?

Some AAA ones can be very close to the real model, but so far, my community of people have yet to start buying AAA Rollie or Tags la..

Can't really answer you on that one.

Maybe an Enthusiast can differentiate and a noobie/amateur can't.

Start small la..

Rollie and Tags are not there only one out there. Got alot of nice one too like Zenith, Ball, Maurice Lacroix n etc.

Just look around, and base your budget. Sure can afford one..

And oh, I am yet to own a Rollie still ~~

LE = Limited Edition.

patryn33's saying that Panerai is supporting resale value by having limited editions/ controlling output but in the long run may not help.

Kinda like what Hermes is doing with their Birkin.

Birkin still quite exclusive laugh.gif

There's a long Q for it anyways, even if you can afford it haha.

Kinda liking this Ball & Ross, quite different than than the usual watches I am seeing recently

I was offered around 10k for this haha.

Still thinking since 10k is not a small sum, plus when you are exposed to 5 digit budgets, you can always get some awesome watch like Zenith and etc too smile.gif

I saw actually.

Was sorely tempted, to be very honest.

But I was looking for a Zenith back then laugh.gif

Now due to financial crisis, not buying anything yet. Later the Finance Minister will rage.
