ohh ok that clears my question ^^
ermm for the above post... the Jaeger-LeCoultre Hybris Mechanica à Grande Sonnerie
is there any specific name for those dial type?

why Ouch? today cannot buy is it? maybe tomorrow can afford.
I am pretty sure such limited watches price do go north of retail price.
I envy ppl with big dreams.

Last time i check it was around MYR 80,000.

the marks and numeric using C3 lume.

*pic borrowed from internet*

yes, definitely cannot afford to buy today. but will work hard and hopefully some day in the future i'll be able to buy it

Big dreams? yeah! but will have to work very hard to achieve it

ermm mind to suggest me some low-range watches for me? leather strap and steel strap which one better?
i am kinda skinny so are there any specific type of watches to avoid?

hey all,

i have an omega which my dad gave me 6 years ago. it comes originally with a steel bracelet. was thinking of changing it to a crocodile leather strap or any good leather strap as i prefer leather strap more.

any good place to recommend me to get it? and would greatly appreciate if you guys can let me know around how much will it cost.

p/s: anyone bought their watches from grey market @ collectorstime.com before? my friends dad actually owns it. but i shy to ask him if the watches are genuine or not

Thanks guys....will do more research on the watches recommended....

One more Question, for swiss made watches, how long the life span will be? any ideas?

at this price range.. u can only afford a ETA movement or stellita (today I think they busy alot of movement kits from ETA and finishes the rest and brand it as their movement.
most likely its a 2824-A2 or 2836 or stellita SW200 (a 2824-A2 clone), so long U sent in to get it oil and clean them once every 4yrs they can last for many many yrs and I meant really long (40-50yrs easy).

guy do you think longines is for uncles?

i mean...certain watches will reflect your age right? i really like the master collection from longines...its a bit out of my range now but something to admire...

http://www.longines.com/watches/the-longin...n/L2.673.4.78.5

guys what would be the appropriate beginners automatic watch?

probably an Oris....

anything that is within your budget. all these brands use the same range of mech movement usually. Some may do alittle more, Mod it (usually not much don't expect 50% change), regulate it to within company spec.
- oris
- hamilton
- tissot
- Frederique constant
- louis erard
- mido (can get COSC at a great price)
- Stowa (great watches, case and leather manufacture in europe unlike most entry level swiss brands in Far East)
