Nice looking destro Carlos Coste LE.  However, upon close examination; your bezel markers are out of alignment.  hmm.gif

Strange isn't it? The bezel marker at nine o'clock seems aligned with the dial,  while the marker at three o'clock is misaligned.
Time for me to put Oris into the "Not to buy list".  They have poor quality control. wink.gif

yeah, cuz the watch photo is being taken at an angle.

watch for right hand wear?

yeah, poor qc. rolleyes.gif

on a serious note, it can be a right handed watch or a left handed watch,

if worn on the left, the knob wouldnt leave marks on ur wrist.

i love big watches, my next one would be the prodriver chronograph. biggrin.gif

What is the rrp for this and how much discount u get?

Im planning to get the 42mm planet ocean, with the omega 2500 movement rather than the 8500 one... Urs is the 8500 movement?

looking for a middle-high end watch, possibly Tag. Suitable for both formal and casual outings.. i suppose i should prepare a budget of rm6500? any good recommendations?
*
Tag, 6500 cant get u a decent one...8k and u can get the aquaracer, looks good, although abit overpriced for the ETA 7750 movement

hmm if like that i dont mind save up abit more to get Aquaracer actually.. but due to my lack of knowledge in watches, i can only judge it based on looks, duno whether worth it or not sweat.gif
The longines looks good.. but i duno about the brand (again, due to my lack of knowledge).. haha
Thanks, but my heart its telling me Tag  laugh.gif maybe its the logo lol
*
haha..then go get the Aquaracer, get what u like most

at least your quartz ones last quite long tongue.gif
the other day i was in the swatch group, someone had their tissot quartz in for service...i think they took too long to change the battery and it leaked...
cost of replacement for the movement was at least RM600...
better just go buy new one tongue.gif
*
thats why better to buy automatic. tongue.gif

bought from the place i  bought from too?

anyway, almost 20yrs after my first swatch now comes another one.
and damn thing ticks louder than my wall clock...but its got a cool dark bluish purplish blackish kinda dial tongue.gif
and the second hand amazingly hits all the hour markers spot on.

doesnt matter cheap or not, as long as it lasts.
thats why cheap also go for some known brand with better QC like swatch tongue.gif
dont want to buy a cheap rm100 watch, only for the second hand to fall off a few days later, or the watch completely dying.
sure more expensive watches also can have that problem, but chances of it happening is much much lower than some china brand.
oh ipoh, thought u were in KL tongue.gif
your serial is 8525xxxx and above right?
*
im from ipoh..
8546XXXX smile.gif

will the serial number tell anything?
