Good day watch connoisseurs,

Would like to ask your expert advices and opinions on watches as I am interested in upgrading my timepiece to something a little more fancy and prestigious (currently using a Croc watch given by my dad a few years ago).

I'm eyeing the following watches:

1) Tag Heuer Link Calibre S CJF7110.BA0587
2) Tag Heuer Link Automatic Chronograph CJF2110.BA0594
3) Tag Heuer Link Calibre 36 CT511A.BA0564

I'd like to ask if you guys know the price range of the above models, if they're available in M'sia and if it's worth the money. If you know of any other watches of similar design but better value for buck, would appreciate if you could recommend to me. I'm looking at a budget between 5-7k (not going to spend more than 8k on a watch, not just yet anyway sweat.gif )

Thanx in advance guys and apologies if this has been asked before/repeatedly notworthy.gif

Watch purchasing is very personal and subjective. I guess you've already shortlisted and decided on the above 3 models. TH is not a bad choice to start your Swiss collection. My advise is to head down to watchshop, try it on and see which one look best on your wrist. That's the one you need!

Thanx for the tip. I generally like the design of the above models, big with large face (I guess this is what it's called). Don't like large borders and prefer all white color.

1. retails at ~RM10.5K
2. retails at ~ RM11K
3. retails at ~ RM18K

tag typically give ~25% off. U are looking to spend closer to 8K on item 1 and 2.

they do.. omega price increase by a good 9% this yr. Tag may do the same 9-10%.. with that it may hit hit 10K soon.
anyway U do know resale value for Tag isn't good.

eg:
Tag Heuer / Grand Carrera GMT Calibre 8 per-own warranty by Tag until Nov 2011
onwer paid SGD$4860 (new b4 discount SGD$6100), pre-own price SGD$2850.

Nope, sorry I don't know much about prices for watches sweat.gif

All I remember is going into the shop to see the prices a few weeks ago and come out thinking, "what the eff with those crazy prices". Only after I read about the discounts did I think it isn't that bad then. Can the discounts be haggled? blush.gif
