14060M are initially non- COSC but later series are COSC. Stated on the dial.
If the Pelagos is any indication, the black bay should exude the same aura of desirability.

Anyway, for the Tag budget... there's soooo many other choice.

Like a LLD would be a much classier choice

anyone can recommend a good shop of buying Rolex while expecting to get more information on the salesperson..

What is the discount rate given for tag in Malaysia nowadays?
*
Always is 15% max I can get from local distributor like watchshoppe or Zurich (both of them are same) .. Too bad authentic boutique TAG H shop is giving on 10% discount if I am not wrong. According to their salesman Tag is controlling the discount rate. Anyone found cheaper other than mentioned shop?

i think even if ppl say stuff about the 3300, u'll still be clueless tongue.gif
lets just say the only thing special is its been updated with Si14.
so maybe 2500D later will also get Si14.

and omega > oris? obviously depends what model.
ppl can say toyota > proton...but inspira or even preve will rape the dugong anyday  whistling.gif

which is partially false. obviously omega > oris if you are comparing the value of each. Well value can be appreciated by marketing strategy where I found Oris has to keeping up on this. If you were to compare by using car for example, please compare the segment of car eg: B Segment for Dugong & Saga, C Segment for Altis & Preve (I know you were to compare a great Oris diver watch with classic Omega quartz)

But please, we all know Omega has been dominating upper segment of the market, probably due to good marketing strategy and appreciated movement with elegant watch design.

Yea I do agree with you, it depends on what model. cool2.gif

Hi to all sifu & watch kaki,

I hope you guys would participate in this survey. It would really help me a lot to have clearer pic in this topic. I been wondering which luxury watch is MUST HAVE for a Malaysian watch kaki or collector. Since as a watch kaki surely watches play more important roles than just telling you the time & date.

So IF in your life; you have 3 chance to purchase a luxury watch (make it a bit greedy LOL) and each watch is not more than RM25K (recommended retail price). Which brand & model will you pick. After purchased all this 3 luxury watch:
1) Pick one which will be the watch accompany you when you about to die (if die in old age la....) and eventually will give to your wife as for her to remember you always.

2) Another one will pass to your son as your family inherit "items" and hopefully it will pass from one generations to another.

Any reason why choosing this 2 watch to perform such important roles? (so happen to the third watch? Will sell it to fund your medical treatment)
Thanks in advance who participate & share their thoughts....

your price range leaves out alot of options but to fit your criteria...but assuming only brand new pieces considered..,

Rolex submariner no date
Omega Speedmaster Pro

I can only think of these two at the moment..

i would add in another one.

Rolex Explorer 1

With a budget of below 7k for a brand new watch.
I've notice brands like, Tissot, Oris, Mido, Epos, Edox, Longines, Nomos and maurice (not sure whether in this price range), which one would be a better brand in term of quality and brand heritage (automatic movement)?

Would like to see your views on this as the amount of options you have, how do you guys decide on the brand you choose.

I am thinking of Tag Heuer Aquaracer Ceramic for the budget would do the magic ..
