hes not in malaysia.

Ah ok. I see.

Well for a budget of about 5-6k, what automatic watch would you guys recommend? Currently wearing a Tissot Quartz watch and has a SKX007 already.

Ball watch. Or Tissot Solar Touch and pocket the change.

Alternatively, you can also look into preowned Tag Heuer Aquaracer.

Sinn 556 =)
Or oris Divers 65. But this budget is not here nor there if you know what I mean..

Sounds like an Oris kinda budget. They have some nice pilot watches to choose from.

Or the 3 SARBs

Well I've actually considered to continue saving to increase my budget to a higher like maybe 10k for better options. But then as my salary isn't really that high, wearing a 10k+ watch would be too much i guess? What would sifus suggest?

Hi guys. Just to check. Tag heuer AQUARACER
Calibre 16 Automatic Chronograph C Ronaldo worth getting ? Still thinking to get it or not huhuhu. Any inputs ?

I say go for it. Really nobody will judge u at all. Especially those who dont know anything about watches...they won't know the cost of your watch. On the other hand ppl who know about watches wont bother with your salary and status. Believe i felt the same way as you just a year ago....when the most expensive watch i had was an oris...RM2999. I also felt paiseh to wear watches above 10k.

But now i have watches above that price..and frankly nobody give a shit wan la. Its all for syok sendiri only. Your watch need not reflect your current status, but instead, use it to inspire you to a higher place.

Think about it. 10k for a luxury item that you r proud of and will last you a very long time isnt much at all. Consider how much did u pay for your car? See what im saying?

That being said, you can consider buying pre own or vintage to stretch your money.

They are not saying you should spend more, just a general reflection of how brands price their watches.

I was the only employee that ever commented on my CEO's reverso so imagine how many people sees it and doesn't give a shit / clueless about it.

get a GS, almost nobody will notice you are wearing a five digit watch

Don't worry about it. Almost nobody will notice what's on your wrist. Unless its something super bling.

But my Daytona have gotten a lot of stares in public woh..

cos yours is 2 tone... i also didn't noticed one of the parent in my boy's class wearing black daytona until i sat next to him...

Black Daytona. Wah. What school is that? Is it a private school? International school?

sorry, black face, not the ceramic bezel

preschool, LOL... there are other nice watches also but that parent no longer there

Be careful of nice watches on parents. A lot of times, if you look at them carefully, they turn out to be fakes

I saw an "AP ROO" during my son's report card day last month, upon close inspections, the Sub dials are equally spaced. Real ones have unevenly spaced Sub dials due to the chronograph module used.

I also saw an Omega "planet ocean" on one of the parents in my son's class. Looks good from afar but once I sat next to him, I saw that the dial looks like junk and the date wheel is white when the dial and bezel are black.

hard to say also la, cos that couple rotate their watches... so far i think i've seen a blue 2 tone Sub, AP diver, AP ROO elephant and a don't know what Big Bang... didn't really analyze that detail, scare later they think i want to rob them

Two tone watches are an easy tell. Look for scratches on the gold portion, if the underneath metal is not gold then it is a fake as Rolex Two Tone only use solid 18k gold on their gold parts.

There should be scratches on the bracelet. Look for deeper scratches and see whether if the underneath metal is the same color as the top metal.
