I read somewhere also not to shake it too hard. The best is to make circular motions when the watch fully stops.

I dont really fancy with oris frank sinatra..just happened that i found this limited edition and start thinking whether should i buy and keep since it a limited edition. Is Oris is a good brand to put ur money into? i am a novice in watch collecting world. thank to my old dad's watch omega constellatons piepan that had enlightened me in this watch thingy!

Oris is a very decent entry level Swiss watch brand. You won't go wrong with it. Don't look at investment perpesctive, most important is buy whichever that speak to you heart. Watch is meant to be worn and not keep in the watchbox and hope for it to appreciate

Good luck and do show us when you bought it

Well said ck77! maybe i have to let go that watch since it is so not me. by the way, those who interested can get it at Impetous (am i spell correctly/hehe) at KLCC. they have others watches like maurice lacroix masterpiece at 50% as well. kindda tempting also! go and get them! i i cant get them, atleast one of my fren here can get them and share with us later!!

I agree with ck77, Oris is a good entry level swiss watch. Tissot is not bad either.

how you guys think of this BALL DIVER TMT limited edition model.



the BALL price is somewhat RM10k after discount.

another targeted watch is Maurice Lacroix Pontos GMT Decentrique


the ML price is RM13300 after 28% discount.

im stuck in between these two options

Follow your heart bro
But my vote go to Ball. Nice design, patented technology (3H gas tubes) that last 25 years, clearly visible all night long

i checked out the www.redarmywatches.com.... and find it quite interesting...

I am very interested in the Junkers Horizon (orange colour).... which looks like a
bell & ross instrument BR01..... the list price is S $ 1,3xx.... so..in RM...should
be RM2,6xx.... do you think is value buy ?? always like the classic look of the
BR01... but I guess it cost more than RM10K...which is way beyond my budget
!

Junkers, German watch. Don't know much of the info. Worth it or not, as long as you like it, is worth.
But with RM2.6k, you could get some decent Swiss made auto watches. i.e. Ball, Fortis, Oris, Tissot, Mido ... etc
Just my RM0.02

p/s: and one more thing, make sure they have service center in Malaysia

i'll vote for oris n fortis... kinda decent brands to me... won't regret buying it...

i like maurice! i saw someone in mudah.com is selling that Ball watch at 7.8K..come with paper as well. with that price, mybe u can grab another maurice watch (masterpiece) cost 14k before discount 50% in KLCC..the one that i saw last new year day! hows that sound to you?

I bought a white Fortis B-42 marinemaster watch (white dial with silicone bracelet) ....cost around RM3K+ (after big discount, retail price more
than RM 5K)...like it very much.... is rare (compared to those Txg Hxxxx, etc) feel solid...


any bro here owns a SINN watch ? (is a german watch, distributed by Hour Glass in Malaysia)...
like their Sinn U1000 and U2 models... any idea the pricing here ?

came across this in garage sales while looking around watches brands


http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=787922&hl=mido

the seller in Mudah namely Predo seems tak sabah to explain his watch and keep telling me the watch has every cert and proof. other words, buy or no buy dont question so much.

sigh, bad attitude.

are u trying to say it is not safe to buy someting from mudah etc? by the way, i rather buy used watch from used dealer shop rather than online..too risky!

yeah, used watches are to go for quality branded ones with good price and mostly with box n certificates.... perhaps if u're lucky, the watch may fetch a good price n can trade in and top up a bit for more expensive n nicer watch that's what a collector will do....if all the time buy brand new for sure die maa...

How to know whether the price quoted is good or not for a second hand watch? Advise us sifu

Hmm ... there is no correct or right price on second-hand watches. All depend on willing buyer, willing seller. Try doing more research on sales forum, website to do some comparison.

My experience, bought a second-hand Oris at Lelong for RM1k. Few months later, sold it at Ebay for RM1.8k

yeap...the price u need to do some research abit le. Use the actual release sales price as a guide... then, estimate the depreciation of the watch. see the condition, year of manufacture, brand, type, batch, how long in the previous owner's possession, service records, completeness of documentations@certificate and box condition non are specific le...some can even rise 2-3times than actual sales price, some used watches may have best buy pricetag as the tauke so kind hearted to get rid of it from the display case(perhaps he hit a big lottery or good sales for the month) . See the demand market le... In short, it's pure luck n connection with the used watch shop tauke... oh...and lots of $$$$ also le...
