Added on March 29, 2010, 5:03 pmactually, do you guys find a `half' Arab numerical (as in the number being `eaten' up by a sub dial) disturbing? i read that to many watch lovers, this is a no-no..

nice pic..! suits you very well..

(although i dont like your avatar)..hehehhe

if you're willing to try out online purchase..you can save 400-500 ringgit maybe
check out this site...
http://www.authenticwatches.com/tag-heuer-...113-ba0850.html

i got no personal experience on authenticwatches.com..so you might need to google yourself to search for buyer experience...
.also got several sites selling Tags...

i guess if you buy from local AD, the RM400-500 ringgit gives you the opportunity to see, touch, try and check the watch extra carefully before committing....

omega for me too...

congrats, wear in good health..

when it comes to timepiece..everyone has different strokes...which explains why there are so many themes and designs out there...

most important..you...the owner will still gets excited and pleased when looking at it!

wooooh.........
mind telling me what's the damage after discount?

i think omega is `i have this too---do you have one? ' kind of watch....

if i were you? depends....i assume this is college graduation? what will your next job be?
if it involve active lifestyle, outgoing, adventure...
15k can go for 2 Sinns...great value for money, great technology....
Its not a rolex, IWC or Panerai...but its a good brand...German technology at its best...

Sure gain attention without being too wacky....people see sure say `ACHTUNG!'

check out Damasko too...

IF your `big' is >42mm, then quite plenty of choices...


The Sinn U1, 44mm is slightly below 5k if on line

Many of Oris big diver watches will also be below 5k...Oris also has a limited edition Hunter Aviation watch 47mm if not mistaken...

Ball Aviator 46mm is < 4k

German Pilot watches Steinhart, Archimede also has 44mm and above versions, for less than 4k...

you quoted 2-5k?? all the models shown is less than 5k i believe...

sinn in Malaysia is sold by After Hours..you can take a look and check it out...but much cheaper to buy online...

Oris? check out yourself on oris website or oris grey sellers...plenty of photos...

guys...need your advice

which one will you go for?

Brand New Sinn 857


43mm...about RM 5200-5300


vs a used Ball Aviator Dual Time,
Brand New Retail RM9500, i think after discount 30% brand new is RM 6200...found out from a friend someone willing to let go a piece...almost one year, condition very good, no scratch, at RM4700






If lume, sure Ball will win...
But the Sinn looks very fierce also...
both got 2nd time, although use different mechanism
Appreciate advice and input...

Lot 10 has one...heard that they have Sinns for display there...

Oris can get 30%, some even top another 5%...if interested, pm me, i let you know a shop in KL can give such discount..

I was thinking of Oris Aviation Hunter...Limited Edition...
but its slightly larger....47mm...and not sure if you'll fancy the 9 marker being half eaten up by second dial..





patryn..would love to hear your opinion on the Ball vs Sinn i posted 1-2 pages ago....but knowing you, you'll probably ask me to consider the movement...

This post has been edited by nando: Apr 8 2010, 08:04 AM

thanks...one more question

the second time zone in the Ball Aviator Dual time i posted...the minute hand is redundant right? meaning the minute hand of the 2nd time zone will always be the same with the minute hand of the main dial right? I check all pictures of this watch and find that the minute hand of both time zones are same...

Which is why normally for dual time zone watches, they have 2 hour hands and share the same minute hands right?

yeah, the Oris second dial on left is for second..i was refering to the Ball..


thanks...so we can say that the minute hand in the 2nd dial of the Ball Aviator Dual Time is redundant right? I mean GMT watches shouldnt need 2 separate minute hands?


anyway, the summary on technology of the Sinn 857,,,
Stainless steel case and bezel with TEGIMENT technology
Dehumidifying technology
Second time zone on a 24-hour basis
Nickel-free case back
Magnetic field protection up to 80,000 A / m
Captive pilot's bezel with minute ratcheting
Sapphire crystal glass with anti-reflective coating on both sides
Pressure resistant to 20 bar (= 200 m water depth)
Resistant to low pressure at high flight altitudes
