I can find watch shop selling tissot almost everywhere. For good discount, I would personally recommend shop at 1st floor, Jaya 33.

Speaking of discount . I know many shops who will throw price if you challenge them , but do not give an official receipt after you purchase (if a shop is caught throwing price , they could lose their dealership)
What do you guys think ? Would you rather get it cheap , but it is sort of "undertable" . Or , pay with the standard discount with a proper transaction?

hmmm normally how much discount will i be able to get for this watch huh?
izit a LE?

20-25% for grey dealers - must be their regular lah.
Boutique i never ask before . Should be lesser .

Unless you're a die hard JLC fan, with that budget IMO better go for a Patek Cala or Lange 1 .

IMO Patek cala is rather old fashioned... don't u think so compared to JLC
*
JLC's master control series is similiar to Patek Calatrava .
And a Patek Calatrava never runs out of fashion . It is more than a watch . It is superior than any fashionable watch .

thats cool, a few years ago i was fascinated with patek philippe and wanted to buy a piece from them and when i saw their price tag i was turned off (way beyond my budget) and did not do further research on it..

Funny LOL . I have many friends who wants a Patek BECAUSE of their price tag . Not because they are into fine watch making or whatsoever tongue.gif

I don't have any problems with TAG .

Their new Aquaracer series are retailing around RM5000-RM6000. Generic movements , and you can get a good discount from AD .
Its Okayyyy what . C'mon , there MANY other brands who "upgrade" their ETA movement and charge 4 times the price .

Plus , i like Tag's Bracelet more than Omega & Rolex . It has the weight and it feels good .
And they are starting to come out with new movements . Nothing to shout about yet , but at least they are on the right path .

Bottom line is , Tag shouldn't be your serious watch . But i think they make good daily beaters .

mind if I ask for a recommendation on a watch with a budget of only RM200? sad.gif I'm going to wear it to college and such, so I don't really need to get those really expensive ones..

I prefer those with metal straps and not resin ones, don't want those kind of mat rempit neon ish watches, but prefer those more sleek ones.
*
Frankly speaking , below RM200 . I think i would buy a replica . Open it up , scrap off the brand name and use it .

Come on, you'll only be fueling the replica industry by buying fakes. If you can't afford a Rolex, why buy a fake when you can get an homage for a little more money (but still 20x cheaper than the original).

If he wanted a PAM , then he can go for Getat etc. But even then , those are RM300-RM400 . Out of his budget .
He wanted a metal bracelet . Then i think for RM200 , the replica watches are the best bet .

Anyway , Malaysian market for replica watches isn't that big lor .
Now or days , I hardly find people with replicas . Most of my peers play fair and eat the damage .

Thanks smile.gif
Its only 32mm . At first i feel weird cause i am a 37mm-41mm kinda guy .
But i am slowly getting used to it already .
I am into classic watches now. Something i can wear not just today , but in my 30s ,40s and all the years to come .

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.

Here is my take .

20s - JLC , Rolex (Sports) , IWC
30s - Patek , RM , Lange , AP or anything out of the box (Ulysse , Jaquet Droz , MB&F , Urwerk)
40s - VC , Back to Rolex & JLC , Grand Seiko .
