yea, thx, any other brand that i need to consider?

u may like to consider guess and fossil too~~

I used to wear those RM30 Casio digital watch when i was a kid.. since then, i dun have a watch and never wwear one since then..

After collecting bullets for so many years, recently I decided to get a Tag Heuer with a budget around 3k. I had visited Watatime in Sunway Pyramid, however, I couldn't get a TH since the one that suits my budget are either running on quartz or the older models. For a budget of 3k, I would rather put my $$ on an automatic than a quartz (just my personal preference ) .

At last, saw this shop called The Moment and got my first ever automatic watch "Oris Williams Formula One Team Day Date 2008".

Retail price was RM4100 but got 25% discount which equals to RM3075, just nice



Not many people talking about Oris, its a very good brand as Oris only produce Automatic watches

Love my watch, admire the movement, adore the ticking sound (summore got vanilla smell from the strap )













Loving it

thx very much, lot 10 having any sales?
besides lot 10, any other place?

very practical person! why drive a BMX if a Proton can also take U from place A to B! better yet, public transport can do that already!
Why big house, waste Electric on Air Con.. esp when when sleeps only take up so much space.

I say better yet don't need a watch! just use your mobile! No need to sync time even when u go overseas. provider will update it for it!

Added on July 20, 2009, 1:47 amCongrats on your Oris purchase!
yes they only produce automatic watches, in the past its 100% ETA today to lower the cost of manufacturing they getting Sellita movement.
Nothing wrong with that, patent on ETA 2428 expired and Sellita is making the same movement branding it SW 200.

my Dad wore a Oris big crown complication (moonphase) great watch.
just make sure U oil/clean the movement every 4-5yrs!

what here missed is Epos! They make only mechanical watches, plenty of display back. for higher range even have blue screws!
price range is decent, in Southeast Asia, there is only Malaysia has a distributer!
found a online dealer base off in KL http://www.orolus.com/epos.shtml


those fallen in love with blue screws, for a great deal try Stowa. They do not make many watches. Do need to order 1st and wait for mths to get a watch!
http://www.stowa.com/

other brands that are overlooked... Louis Erard (discount these days range from 30-50%), JeanRichard.. many AD clearly old stock giving as high as 65% discount to make way for their inhouse JR1000 movement. grey market can even find it go as high as 80%!

do look at the back of the watches.. if they did not state movement from where.. most likely its China!

i believe many watch shops hav these 3 brands available..u can bargain wif them as well

how to differentiate new and old models?

check movement is at the back of the watch?

the newer the more expensive?


zzz so many question >.<

erm, regarding to this question, i cant help u..

ok, thx

1) only if u are familar with brands and products. Who will tell U flat out its out dated!

2) no way to accurately find that out too. back of watch only tell U so much. if its swiss/jap movt.. if nothing welcome CHINA!
not all China are bad, I only like seagull watches, maybe the best brand there. However they have quality issue. must buy from reliable dealer.
This is the only 1 I know http://www.usseagull.com/

seeking a affordable watches, should try www.pmwf.com many ppl looking for reliable watches

3) depends on product lah. thats common sense. U are comparing apple and orange! new Proton vs 20yr old BMW???

My cousin working at Month Blanc, gets 50% for staffs, will get me a a Time Walker Chrono in Sept when we get our 5 mths bonuses!!

Any comment on this series from Mont Blanc??

U should read this! for me if its at 50% off get a inhouse movement montblanc nicolas rieussec!!! not some mod movement.
according to the reading below the steel on alligator strap retails at US$9700, and full steel bracelet at us$10K.
display back U can see how pretty is the movement compared to a valjoux 7750! a usual timewalker chrono on leather retails at around us$6K. I wonder if those on valjoux 7750 have blue screws! for such expensive watch I kinda demand blue screws.

50%%%%%%%%%%%?

patry33,

Me not that filthy rich la, max i'd spent a good watch is around 6K after discount!! So yes, i'll be looking at ard 10k-13k retail price Mont Blanc lor.

I thought your bonus big big man! aiming for a timewalker chrono retail in already US$6k, thats why I said add us$4K and hit the nicolas rieussec.
50% US$3k vs US$5K not much diff and U are getting a lot more from a watch.

if U are aiming for RM$10-13K then is like US$3.7K. can only get u time walker day (no chrono leh), entry level watch. also running on a Mod ETA workhorse. no Display back.
just paying for brand only. mont blanc also moving towards making all inhouse movement in the near future aiming to move up the lux ladder.

or shop grey market, can definately get more than 50% discount!
this Maurice Lacroix Master Reserve De Marche retails US$4200 now at US$1690. (its manual winding)
http://www.collectorstime.com/new-watches.php

Perrelet is a expensive brand (brand that invented automatic watch), a manufacture all inhouse movement.
U can only afford the entry level watch.
3 Hands Date retails US$2690. I like the design Ref A1000/5 black face. U can only find a pic on webby.
pretty low production if I recall correctly. only 1 place carry this brand.
http://www.perrelet.com/fr/
neither not here nor there, might as well get a higher end of a mid range brand like longines. also uses ETA.
Can easily afford a Master power reserve, Chrono, GMT! at least with 1 complication and does have blue hands. dress watch like timewalker i dig blue! I rather go for a Power Reseve Indicator, U get to use it for freq than Chrono, GMT.
http://www.authenticwatches.com/longines-m...n-bracelet.html
bad thing with longines, movement are not decorate very nicely. Do have display back.
http://www.prestigetime.com/item/Longines/...666.4.78.3.html

or an Omega with co-axial escapement. don't have to service watch so often pretty much like every 10yrs. (can screw the display back in this case!)
u do know most watches do need servicing every 4-5yrs. regular ETA with time, day. date maybe cost $200-300, complications cost more $$ and longer time.

of course inhouse movement also means U can only get parts thru AD, servicing cost maybe higher if require part change.
