cheapest 'dinner' watch, wonder why there isnt a 'lunch' watch, that i would go for is this.
should be around rm400 in shops here.

Watch snob picks the JLC Reverso as the ultimate dress watch... a fine choice of course...

but for me the ultimate would be the Piaget Altiplano... oh for the lottery...


of course the poor mans version of this would be:

no la, ultimate is a g-shock!

hahaha dun get me wrong guys... i tried on the JLC before at the MBS shoppes and it was just a tick over rm20,000 at the time if i recall...
Quite significantly less than the RM50k+ asking price for the Piaget..
hence the term "poor man's didn't bothered with too much maggi noodles version"....

RM20,000/RM50,000 to pay for any watch is not something many people could just buy on impulse...

It would take me lots of restrained spending and maggi noodles before my wallet has enough ammo to pull on another time piece...

I am not really watch type guy, but wanted to buy a watch long time ago. Bought one last year but stolen in washroom -.-" my bad cause not so comfortable wearing it while washing hand. Any watch recommended for budget rm600+-? Chrono type, prefer not leather cause will smell after sweat, altho i seldom sweat haha. Medium or big sized. So far saw Fossil & Tissot but none catch my eyes. Saw groupon have offer for André Belfort, is it worth the price?

for more classic looking ones under rm1k, just look at seikos or orients...think everyone told u tht already

The design is so nice, but the price is also nice.. T___T

hmm, what happen to Tag?

umm...omega.

as if the price hikes not frequent enough.
even inflation cannot catch up

which is exactly why an individual with such brilliance is even more noticeable!

Examined the Stainless Steel variant today No. 0xxx/2000. Its too big for my wrist. More than 50mm lug to lug. Okay for display collection. Looks larger than the Orient M-Force Diver and it has English / Kanji Day ring.

this diver combo with leather strap looks damn fine! I wonder if the 'toning' on the strap is from natural use or ...?

*huge pic*

Pulled the trigger on this one, a week back. Just received it last weekend:

this has been singing to me for two days now!!!
HELP!

h11g: the ref pictured earlier is the  14060M (pre 2007)

well as mentioned a 5513 is the very desired  Sub due to its tight associations with the early Bonds...
They tend to fetch hefty premiums these days... a true collectors item...personally i LOVE them!

Classic is a loose nickname for a no date submariner...
of course purists may argue that the classic should also have no crown protection, tritium dial.. etc etc but thats another topic altogether...

The ceramic bezel and new bracelets in my opinion are DEFINITE improvements over the previous incarnations of the Sub... but i like the cleaner dial before the COSC certifications and "ROLEX ROLEX ROLEX" engravings the betweem the dial/bezel... also not so sure if i love or hate the blue lumination of the new ones...

compared to previous pic i posted: COSC certification writings on dial, rolex rolex rolex engravings, blue luminor...

I wouldn't say that. I absolutely love my hollow bracelet for the weight and comfort factor. Not a fan of the chunky bracelets ala SubC/PO-C.
Plus, despite the old stamped clasp looking like something straight out from a Swatch, I think there's a hint of classic-ness to it, like the Subs from days gone by.

Just personal preference really. The only thing I like about the new Sub is the blue lume

But on the flipside, is there really such a thing as a bad Sub? I liken them to the Porsche 911s.
Every generation looks more or less the same (evolution, not revolution), but with new tech that makes the new one better. Yet people harp on and on about how the newer generation lacks feel and passion and the outgoing model is the ultimate classic

but i really love how the rolex logo protrudes out of the closing clasp on the new sub c. looks more classy.

Since 5513 is in production from 1963 to 1990, there's probably millions in the market today. Those that fetch high prices that I have seen are military and comex issued watches. I'm not the expert on Rolex and I was hoping that you can enlighten me instead. 

or is it something like the line from transformers? "custom faded paint"

Just got this gigantic watch as a gift from my father in law for HKD1980. Just found out that it is a Japanese brand. 50mm is too big for my thin wrist 

What do you guys think about it? Still thinking if I should keep it inside my drawer or sell it at a huge price cut. lol

wow...so many watch enthusiast . a pricey hobby i presume.
if u dont mind me asking.
how many of time piece do you guys own actually

Ok thanks... I better head to those private shops rather than chains...

hi guys. Just wanted to ask.. Whats the difference between Quartz movement and Automatic..? which one do you prefer..? can state reason..? kindly enlighten me.. Been searching for watches but didnt know that there are difference in those watches.

If you ask me my budget. It would be best if its around 300-600 range. How's Bulova brand..? thanks in advance !

ahh.. now i understand better.. thanks ! if only people that got the time to actually enjoy the sound and movement of the automatic then they will get it as a collection. For normal casual usage, a quartz will be more than enough right. hmm. i get it and understand already ! thanks ! brighten up my thinking as well..
