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.

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

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)

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
