hey there guys... my dad decided to get me my first real watch.. so i did some research and stuff.. and it came down to these 3 models...

i like the baume & mercier but the only flaw is that the case back isn't transparent.. whereas for the tag.. many ppl said its overpriced and stuff.. and for the ML, the coments online doesnt seem to be too good either maybe because its a generally new brand.. well i like the looks of these 3 watches.. but cant decide... as i'm still new in watches.. would like to ask opinions here...

haha... but i think its very weird for someone my age wearing a rolex.
yeah.. thats what many ppl say about the carrera.. btw what do you mean when u say that the ML's design look ephemeral?

now i get it... the ilink i posted just now was wrong... here is the exact link to the model.. http://www.watchnerd.com/pt7548ss001130.html

hmm.. i might consider egtting the omega speeedmaster..

i beleive there is an automatic speedmaster as well right?

btw what about the speedmaster date? haha... have to say the speedy pro has great history but the thing is that it doesnt have a date... thats something i cant live with..

haha icic.. but i still think i prefer an auto watch.. well between the speedmaster date and tag carrera which one is the better buy? the sub looks good... well but i dont think its for me now.. btw my dad has one.. the one with date.. dont wana wear a same watch as him.. lol.

haha.. so probably i should get the one without date? then i'l tell him that... btw i posted some pics of the watches.. check my earlier post

btw how much is the rolex submariner no date? i still think a rolex is too much for me.. very tempted to get the daytona though.. but its over my budget.. haha.. mayb when i start working i'l get the daytona

will check it out.. thanks for you suggestion..

i decided to get a maurice lacroix pontos chronograph.. went to try on the speedmaster and its too small for me..

but i still dont know if i should get the new pontos or the older version pontos...
this is the older verison.



this is the newer one (black dial)



which one do you guys think looks better? the old one is cheaper around 1k cheaper. well money isnt really a big issue but i'l be able to get nice straps with the money saved..
