i never go to Petaling St. to buy anything anymore sometime it can get chaotic and life threatening situation there once you open your mouth and walk away, they are more like gangster doing business.

Tudor,Tag Heuer,Longines,Oris,Rado

luxury meh?

I'll wear any wristwatch as long as i like it, don't really care if it's vintage or the most recent, uncle-look, kiddy or otherwise. I suppose one can wear anything with character when it's coupled with the right attire. I have a Mickey Mouse wristwatch (HK Disneyland la not Gerald Genta) for the casual clothes and it's so cool! (btw how to insert image here?)

i like bell and ross

yes quite nice for the price. (not too expensive) just got one earlier this year, Vintage 123 with black face + black leather

something like this..

Nice, seems to me that Bell & Ross only makes watches with black dials and black straps or beige dials and beige straps. I like the fact that their watches are simple in design with highly readable large dials and numerals, like some of the Sinn's models.

sinn also not bad I like the Frankfurt chrono


fortis also not bad..

I guess these are value for money watches looks good without paying over 10k.. and come with huge discounts..

mine

omega speedmaster pro day-date

Tag Heuer F1

how much is considered expensive ? Bell and Ross is expensive to me.

budget way of owning 'luxury watches' is to go for vintage. might even get lucky and score some new old stock gems.

is kinda expensive for me too, i personally love the Bell & Ross Phantom one.... with the tourbillon of cuz but tourbillon is not cheap.... only CYMA has cheap Tourbillon i guess....

Owh, i never knew Patek-Philippe was considered 'King and Queen' watches, i always thought it was a 'nomal' luxury watches as the like of Rado , my mom owns a Patek Philippe, it was a birthday present from my dad about 3~4 years ago

I guess over 10k kua considered expensive watch.. (dun say those 2-3k watch also wanna consider as "expensive or luxury" watch?)

as for vintage watches.. somehow I don't consider them as luxury... those 4-5k old rolexes are not in the same league of the 20-30k new Rolex..

so between owning 3-4 of those cheapo rolexes, I think I'll just stick to my 2006 two-tone Yatchmaster.

Attached thumbnail(s)

without enlarging the photo already can see the left side link is too loose senget one side.. I think the newer 6digit rolex links have solid centre links (not sure, I don;t have this model but it shouldn't be that loose if I recall correctly)
