Big fat bonus

If you just want to be able to tell time, it's not worth it

Passing on to you kid is a good idea. I want to do that too but I haven't have the stomach to splurge that much.

What's your budget? If me I would go for JLC or Alange/Sohne

what business are you in?

My boss and my boss punya boss, all wear Rolex

TS, ayam also somewhat like you. although i earn standard /k salary, i have always preferred to be low key. on working days, i just wear my seiko diver, which is my one and only watch. i bought it bekos it resembled the rolex submariner in a way, and the sub has always been my dream to own.
but on my non working days, i don't wear my watch. i prefer to check the time with my phone and sometimes i tell the time by looking at other ppl's watch. even when i go out for dinners/weddings/meetings etc, i don't wear my watch.
in the end, my wish for a sub has disappeared and i prefer it this way.

Thanks for the replies !

As for passion ...

Well I do read a lot of articles on horology , as well as youtube vids , their heritage are definitely cool to listen to.

As for frequency of wearing them , I'd say maybe 4 -5 x a year since I work in the fitness industry hence I use my trusty Casio 90% of the time

budget wise .. I'm thinking <20k but if a 40k+ watch is a better investment then so be it

I like this one

Fair enough , I wanted a Seiko Samurai so badly last year ...

but I thought I wouldn't ever wear it and the ability to pass down to the next generation isn't there hence I decided to get a Casio Pro Trek

hopefully it's the same for me haha

Rolex watches are overrated. You can just scavenge a Seiko box in the dumpsters behind clock stores and post pictures in /k to project your wealth. Then create a few threads here and there about overseas travels and you won't need some real Rolex to tell people there's some money in your wallet.

Chances are I won't be wearing it often

I'm planning to buy it in hopes it'll appreciate / pass down to the next gen

I might post on my insta once though cause well I'm human

I was interested in Seikos like really really into it , 5s , Samurais , Divers , Tuna etc etc

but I lost interest since they lack the heritage / poor resale.

I don't really care about how it looks tbh

the only investment I know how to do is FDs haha

Wanted to try bursa but It's too confusing

property ... not enough capital

Wah, you people poison my mind already....

no become prisoner watch

everything also scared, leave house scared people break in, wear outside scared people snatch

then the fakes look even btter than real

I'm guessing TS is a rolex type of guy. Good choice.
But i'd prefer a GS now, more 'shimmering' in meetings, since my work is full of mtgs.

Rolex still ok, the value is still retain as there are nice diamonds where pawn shop also accept compare to luxury watches like Omega

Car = a transport from point A to B

Watch = any cheap and branded watch still give u correct time

Ya TS should just buy Baby G watches!

Dont have in Malaysia.
