Thanks a lot!

I was quite picky in terms of the day-date vs the date.
I can't choose the right one to fit. (the day-date is extra rm2k+ just for the day indicator)
That day i saw Omega watches De Ville Hour Vision never know is so exp also smile.gif

Btw, what leather watches can i look for (i'm open for suggestion smile.gif )
Budget not more than rm10k

@Jr.Koh

True, wear watches that u like not for future resale value. (although there's certain % of guarantee reliable product value eg. brand)

I choose the watch by:

1) Design (fall in love for Monaco V4 biggrin.gif)
2) Brand
3) Price
4) Resale value (optional)

Btw how often does tag need to send for servicing/calibration? and approx how much it cost?

What about these brand?
1) Longines
2) Luminox

More brands can be found here smile.gif

if you're comparing with the carrera.... check out the Longines GrandeVitesse

IMO.. the one that tops both the Tag and the Longines is this

i like the Tag Heuer Carrera Chrono too, but Tag is so common, every tom d*** and hairy has it. I wouldn't want to go to a dinner or event and have a few guys wearing the same watch as me, i don't know about you. I would get the Maurice Lacroix instead. Don't really fancy the Longines design.

Wow both look great! i like the dial switch (I dono what is it called) for Longines
But i love the name Maurice Lacroix craft on the watch is so elegant with black finishing

Can i know how much is each luxury watch?

Ohh yeah before i fall for Tag i was aiming on this Oris BC4 too but i forgotten what is the model name~ phew thank god someone posted it up! It refresh my memory when i stated to adore luxury watches. biggrin.gif

What is the retail price? and the exact price after discount?

Limited Edition Singapore 2009 Tag Heuer DD

Just got back from Bookshop browsing watch magazine March 2010 and i saw this Omega where patryn33 posted. I was shock u guys really into watches. thumbup.gif If im not mistaken the saw was stated at 12k (from mag)

Been reading 1 forum talk (chicks talk on watches) many chicks fall in love for Zenith? I wonder y? with all the blink blink???

Now u guys make me like IWC/ Zenith/Maurice Lacroix/Longines/Tag/Omega

Ohh dear, what can i get now? Does Maurice Lacroix come with chronograph?

Thanks in advanced

I was like you when I was deciding on the carrera with date or DD. In the end I got myself the DD. For me the main difference is the size, and the usual date only version is too common IMHO. With the budget of around 10k, you actually do have a lot of choices smile.gif My DD runs +1 sec / day crown up and +- 0 when my dial facing up. That's what I can tell u bout the watch. Tho its not a chronometer, the accuracy is within the chronometer range. I was tempted by the omega speedmaster as well, but it just looks too small on my wrist. If anyone were to say every tom d*** and harry has it, he/she must have a lot of friends who are quite well to do eh? No offense taken.
patryn33: the Zenith El Primero doesn't look like a swatch, it reminds me of gerald genta sport without the subdials smile.gif

Hi Jr.Koh,

By reading your opinion on Tag DD. Yes for DD i more exp compare to D with extra 2k+ and slightly bigger at 43mm vs 41mm on D.
Im not a tall guy but slightly bulk therefore with 43mm on my wrist looks kind of obvious "big".

In other hand, Date version at 41mm suits me well. Just "feel" something missing from it (Phycho on extra day?) hmm.gif and the strip is slightly different from D VS DD (DD comes with better pattern n lining).

And i kept telling myself if u can afford a 8k+ watch y cant u "try" top up abit more for better design cool.gif Guess human nature~

So, r u happy with your DD? Since there's so many positive reviews on other brand? Or what about the leather strap is it comfortable when wearing with minor sweat?

If im not mistaken somewhere around either March/April there's a roadshow for Tag at KLCC up to 23% on yr 2009. Hope they are practicing this event yearly rolleyes.gif

@khopl

Hi bro, can let me know what price for Oris BC4 after your visit on the weekend?
Would like to know the actual figure. Thanks

@patryn33

Oh bro thanks for all the queries. Appreciate it
I was asking the price for both watches
-Maurice Lacroix
-Longines GrandeVitesse

This ML 112 based 7750 does looks good. But i would like something round smile.gif

Very knowledgeable Hierarchy chart, so where does Oris stand? High-Middle or High-End?

Btw, Im planning to get for my "Once a life time Event" too biggrin.gif

P/s: Can i know where can i get the best deal for Oris/Tag at KL/Pj area? Probably with good customer service.

Thanks

There is a Tag road show going on in KLCC now, end tomorrow.
Normal discount is 18% but the sales rep said will give better deal if seriously wanted to buy.
Go and check it out, maybe can get some free F1 goodies  rclxms.gif

Ohh my god! i out of town now! sigh i just left yesterday.
I was waiting this KLCC road show since last yr (u can back track the earlier post been kept asking n asking when is the road show)
The road show is giving 23% if the deal is the same. Arrrrr....the SA at 1U are so smart didnt tell me anything about the road show.

too bad no one can help me to buy coz the price is exp...guess no one willing to swipe credit card for me smile.gif

Im still very frustrated, coz the AD didnt tell me a word that i can "pop" to KLCC few days back. Guess they 1 2 get rid of their TH stock.

There are 2 AD serving me tat time non of them are good in customer service.
(I was "that" close to buy from them "Brown Face DD") but only manage to give me 18% instead of 23% previously that i asked.

Well, my first choice is Black Face, guess not to force yourself to buy something that you dont really like it.~~ Hope KLCC dont have Black Face DD so it can make me feel easy that way buy missing the road show 2010.

@Jr.Koh

U Jr Koh! This is what i wanted to get 2 days back and SA told me is "Out of Stock"
They call it "Black Face". They only have the brown and white face.

I was almost poison by wearing the DD on my wrist and almost forget my intention is getting the TH "Black Face" DD instead of Brown.

Both brown n black looks good too...but since there's no side by side comparison I'll hold back my purchase.

p/s: your are forcing me to click the pictures again n again biggrin.gif


Added on March 22, 2010, 11:05 pm@de.crystal

nah, dont think this way, I started with casio, swatch, DKNY too...nothing to laugh about.

my philosophy is buy things that you like and price that u can afford and im happy enough.

Uhh, RM5k is quite huge amount too....

true that 1U Watchshoppe does see u in a different way.
I was once served with an attitude what i cant afford to buy the Tag.
The malay lady was looking at my watch and i was like "Wxx" looking down on me.

A month later i visited them again to check on their stock availability and is gone.
This time i try not wearing anything with formal attire. Well, they are looking at me and serve me slightly better than previous visit.

Think is a norm thing in M'sia ppl "scan" their customer from head to toe.

Oh guys, my bro was asking me to consider Omega watches...any nice Omega watches can reckon? Since Omega > Tag

Omega? try the seamaster series..Planet Ocean....quite nice design...reputable co-axial movement too

friend of mine bought the orange one last week in a sale.....he may want to sale because he wants bracelet, not leather.  Only the leather was available during the sale and since the discount was good, he went for it...

Hence, i head to Omega website and try to hunt a few design that i like.
I totally have no idea on Omega retail price. Guess u guys can enlighten me whether is it a good deal and usually what is their discount.

How well known of this brand in Asia?
