Ok, just sent my watch back to Omega....the watchmaker says my case(date wont change according to 24hr cycles) shouldn't happen,might due to some mechanism stuck in between or wat. Sigh.....sad,just bought a new watch and it gives me this problem adi,i'm afraid dat the mechanism is broken or wat....so i sent bek for warranty, just to ask u guys' experience whether izit possible to ask for 1 to 1 exchange cuz it's still new (1 month old) and i seldom wear it?

Oops sorry to hear that bro. sad.gif Yes you have the right to ask for 1 to 1 exchange from the dealer. Just talk to them and be nice and see what happen. Do keep us updated. Good luck.

anzhsb : Nice rollies you got there rclxms.gif

MangO : Sounds a defect for me. I beleive it is an ETA calibre and if yes, the power reserve would last for more than 40 hours. And yes, you could self wind the watch without shaking it.
Bring it back to the shop to exchange for new one, at least repair and service for you.

vincentlee : I think it has been discontinued and you could only get it from second hand market. Saw one in the second hand shop at Time Square, if I recall correctly.

Oris? Sorry, resale value isn't there.
prices of new watches always go up... basic Econ rules.. Inflation.
watches that are equiped with ETA based movement usually cannot hold their value.
oris watches usually regulated at 3 positions, Rolex 5.
oris today is going with Sellita movement to keep cost low, so don't expect high or good resale value.
Sellita movement? I thought all the while they are using ETA? Any source? rclxub.gif

Seriously speaking, I don't think Tag is worth RM19k, just my opinion.

...for me, Tag is not qualify as Luxury watch.

Heuer was acquired by LVMH in late 80s, from then on, their emphasis is on advertising and capture as much market share as they can, which they have forgo the importance of quality and durability. For me, I prefer 'pre-Tag' Heuer watches.

well... my monaco is the normal choronograph given by my dad.... manufacturing date unknown but serial no: HN10XX... but after all, it is crap in quality... doh.gif 3 times fixing it  doh.gif but i just keep on wearing it and try not to be too rough at times... cry.gif

That's always sentimental value where the watch is passed down by your parents, do preseve it as much as you can. I do hope that my speedy will pass down to my future child rclxms.gif

By the way, care to share some picture of your Monaco? Is it Tag or pre-Tag?

Congrat to your new toy BikerVoodoo. rclxms.gif

SD is always my dream watch, doesn't like the newer DDSD as I find it too thick for comfort. And same like you, I dislike the cyclops date magnifier on Sub. By the way, how much is the Sub no date?

3. http://www.tagheuer.com/the-collection/car...w=CV2010.FC6205

4. omega speedmaster date ( not proffesional )

which one would you pick?

For your budget of RM10k, like BikerVoodo said, I'll go for Speedy Pro or top up few thousand to get the Sub ND. Needless to say, those are timeless designed classic watch and does not change much since their inception. Proven reliability of the movement and rich history.

No date function on Speedy and Sub, no a problem for me, is just a matter of getting used to it. I've use some trick for my Speedy though, the chorno second hand used as the date pointer, i.e today is the 5th, i'll start the chorno till the second hand stop at 5 second thumbup.gif

USD300 for a Sea-Gull Chinese movement, hmm, still bit of sceptical. Assembled in Australia I supposed? As the email ended in 'au'

Anyway, awaiting your review on the OWC since yoru brother is getting one.

yijzen, if you prefer Tag, how about Steve McQueen's Monaco, is a classic with chorno and date.

i've been learning a lot through this thread. i wouldn't call myself a watch lover, but i do like watches.

my trusty casio gshock and casio work very well and i wear them most frequently (seiko is from 2002!).

not too long ago, i managed to save enough for one of these:

and then earlier this year, i managed to find its partner:

really quite happy with them:

don't think i'll be buying another watch anytime soon; but when i do, i'll probably be up for a milgauss. one fine day lah! i haven't asked around to see how much they cost - probably out of my budget anyway! but if anyone can give me the heads up, i'd appreciate it.

Nice pair of Omegas there and very nice classic look of Seiko rclxms.gif And nice photos too thumbup.gif
