i want to buy a watch that can last me for over 10 years, suitable for purpose, leather is possible, under 7k, i'm tall, fit, dark skin, 21 years old. what do u guys recommend?

1st watch: WAV5152.FC6231 retail is at US$5900 or RM$20.7K, after the usual 20%, no way can buy at rm$7K
2nd watch: CV2A10.BA0796 retail at US$3700 or RM$13K, also not possible
3rd watch: CV2010.BA0786 retail at US$3200 or RM$11200, now getting warmer but still a little off.
4th watch: CAV515B.FC6231 I am sure not possible! est close to US$20K!!

If I am not wrong Tag Calibre 16 is base off 7750. kinda expensive. rather pay for a inhouse movement.

with this budget I would get a a chrono from grey market for the best deal. Mech watches if U do service them every 4-5yrs, they can last a lifetime!
(some Perrelet are inhouse movement these most likely heavily mod ETA or uising Soprod since they have bought this movement company, check out those blue screws too!)
- Perrelet Big Date Chronograph
- Perrelet Steel Big Date Chronograph



- Jean Richard Paramount Chrono Agusta Limited (using new JR1000 inhouse movement, no display back)
- Jean Richard Black JUVENTUS Bressel Chrono (using new JR1000 inhouse movement, no display back)

fossil stores? cos i think gucci watches are made by fossil...it's actually like owning a lexus and knowing your actually driving a toyota....

Carrera is around Rm8k after discount while Grand Carrera is around Rm13k if i am not mistaken. The gold model is a lot more higher.

does any one know how much is the rubber strap for tag heuer F1 Chronotimer? thanks

patryn33,

say, would you happen to know of any service places that provides re-lume on watch dials and markers?
i thought about getting a bottle of lume-tec c3.. but i don't have the tools or expertise to do it myself.

(note - my bad at not nailing down the specifics previously.. anyway, anything above rm2k is considered expensive to me. i don't mind plonking down rm200k on an investment that i'm familiar with, but i still have difficulties grasping the investment pov for watches, let alone if it's just for the kick!)

what do u mean by a chronotimer? chronograph?
if so, at retail level around RM$4500, usual 20% around $3600.

Added on August 15, 2009, 7:35 pmI don't think so. Gucci group is pretty big like LVMH, wouldn't scoop so low.
unlike Fossils movement maybe Japan/Swiss.
Gucci watches either ETA or Ronda. Thank God Gucci watches not priced like a Lexus many watches just under US$1K, so driving toyota no problem. when U say Lexus I think of watches priced above US$10K.

thanks....
cough blood.

waa.. the amount of money involved here.. i think i can retire comfortably (than having some clunker on my wrist *lol* no pun intended!)

i think this perfectly reflects the epitome of "time is money"

found a few ppl here talking about where to get their watch serviced.
Quite a number of ppl dislike the service from Watches Of Switzerland Repair Centre in Atria Damansara.
someone had good review of AH Lee at Wangsa Maju police station.
