Looking to buy my second automatic watch for casual occasions. I am very keen on those military themed Hamiltons. Any idea how much Hamilton Khaki King/Field costs in Malaysia? Currently in Australia pursuing my studies, I want to compare the prices. I know Amazon prices are around USD 370. Thanks guys.

They produce solid watches, just that they are overpriced. Eg, Tag Formula 1 is never worth that kinda money they are asking these days. I would rank them personally slightly better than Tissots or Hamiltons, yet its ridiculous to buy a quartz when you can get a Tissot automatic chronograph for the same price. That being said Grand Carrera and Aquaracer are fine timepieces.

Also these days a lot of replica Tags are being worn around in Malaysia due to its popularity. Just drop by Petaling St. A non-WIS would think that a Tissot/Hamilton is more expensive than a TAG if they see you wearing it. Eg. Tissot PRS516 chronograph

Well it comes without manufacturer warranty if purchased from Amazon. Only comes with 2 years amazon warranty. Is it possible to negotiate a discount in Malaysia from RM1600?

Haha. I am well aware that celebrities don't get money for each watch sold. Lol. I am just stating that part of the premium paid is because of the marketing expenses which 'elevated' the watches' image in the public eye. Tags today are featuring the Seiko movement after ETA decided to stop supplying theirs to others. So, yeah, branding plays a huge part in this industry.

And yes. Who wouldn't want some action with Sharapova
