Hey all,
Like Feed, I'm looking for something that's chronograph and has the classic look. I prefer metal chain/frame kinda thing. Budget,within 1-2k.
Was looking at Tissot when the sales dude at the shop was telling me I should look at Swiss Army as well. He was saying that comparing the the low end ones of the 2 brands (i.e. my budget), Swiss Army has better quality, in terms of material at least.
Any comments or suggestions/recommendations? Would prefer to avoid Seiko as it's rather common,unless something really nice pops up.

Ah roughly what I'm looking for,but would prefer metal strap and to avoid Seiko =p QUOTE(netmatrix @ Feb 8 2009, 11:59 AM) Swatch has chronograph watches too. Have you checked it out? Yea stepped into some Swatch shops,but nothing much I fancy. Don't think I wanna go for Swatch. Thanks for the suggestions guys,keep them coming if anything comes to mind =)

At the moment, shops generall say like 25%, not too sure how much more you can squeeze out of them. But yea, wondering if the sales will result in further discount.
Anyone? =p

QUOTE(silverwave @ Apr 26 2009, 03:13 PM) I don't think there is any special discount during mega sales. Free gifts is possible. The standard discounts i think: Omega - 10% Oris - 25% Tissot - 10% Tag - 18% Was quoted 25% on some Tissot one that was around 2k (before discount)

QUOTE(silverwave @ Apr 26 2009, 07:32 PM) Did you check if it's an old model? Old models might have higher discount sometimes Hmm think it's not too old. It's the Tissot racing one under their sports collection. The one with the rubber strap
