Anyone knows much about female watches? Few sites (including here) have been well, disappointing.

impt is understand female!

Budget given around 1k ish max... Auto movement with open heart..any options? Thus far I only saw Open Heart and Presages around.. I can stretch it more and get a vintage DeVille but don't think she's ready for one yet.

How about juz buy watches with Hermes logo. Don't ever think about movement, accuracy bla bla bla.

Hi all watch sifus,

Currently i owned Oris TT1 and planned to get another watch.
Preferably classic leather strap watch. any recommendation of brands to get?
I am browsing Tissot but seem like thr limited design that i like.

thanks alot for your advise  notworthy.gif

Edit: budget around RM5k
*
I'm sure Everdying can give you a nice discount for his Glashütte tongue.gif

If new, I think some of the Longines Heritage hovers around that price and certainly catches my eye, Junghans (?) or their cheaper cousins Zeppelin / Junkers which goes at most maybe 3k?

If pre-owned, you might be able to get the likes of Omega?

The only reason I like a second hand is so I know the watch is still functioning biggrin.gif

can put to ear and hear it ticking tongue.gif
but here its obvious hamilton used a 2892 to have a thinner movement, and maybe they removed the second hand so can make the case alittle bit more thinner since its only 10mm.
*
Yea, thus I don't really mind the lack for second hand. In fact, I think the only thing I've been particular about thus far is case backs. That's what stopping me from throwing my money at the SARB017 now.

I'm probably still going to get it la.. It's between that or the Orient Stars, and the latter is much more widely available here than the SARBs.

yea but widely available or not, main point is get what u like.
but which orient star? the classics? GMT? retrograde?
*
I'll be getting the blue SOMÈS or one of the Classics most likely. The main thing holding me back from the SOMÈS is that bulging case near the lug area and I'm not a big fan of busy faces so the last two is out of the question. However, I saw the WZ0151DK in seiya and that is probably the first time I liked a busy face.

i think the blue somes discontinued already? cos i only see black / green / brown and with open heart designs now.
then again why cannot just buy a somes strap elsewhere and put on any watch? why limit to the orient star?
*
It was for the exclusivity, but in honesty no particular reasons really.

For now, the idea is to grab a few 1-2k ish watches as part of my collection since I have a shocking lack of those in my budding collection. So while looking for those, the stars are pretty hard to ignore at at that price price point.

I don't think there are many reliable options available but I'm open to options if you have any. I've seen some Omega vintage DeVille's around that price point but I'm not comfortable in dealing with vintages.

for rm2k and below, imo only vintage omega worth collecting are the dynamics from late 60s.
those usually havent yet been bastardised by replacement dials / hands etc, unlike seamasters from the same period, yet also has the same 552 / 565 movement found in the sm300.

*
Which is why I'm trying to avoid vintage for now until I am willing to spend more time judging them. Negating the movement, the looks of your 60's De Ville can be pretty much filled by the likes of Hamilton Intramatics and co.

The dynamics are a bit too funky for my liking tongue.gif
