I mean the Ball GMT Diver (in gold colour, rubber strap)...retail price is RM8xxx, after discount about 30%...
price RM5xxx, the watchshoppe Ball Exhibition roadshow at 1 U last weeken...the salesperson told me it
was the last piece  in wathcshoppe...but nightrain(RM3xxx) & hydrocarbon madcow titanium (RM5xxx)
still got a few pieces...

i guess the Ball GMT Diver gold is rare compared to hydrocarbon madcow...but at the same price..i think
mad cow is more value for money looking at its features !

well it always come into whether you like the design anot haha

would sincerely appreciate a recommendation for a RM700-900 watch.

leather strap.

was looking at a Tissot PRC200, but when i tried it on it really wasn't me, strap width was too thin.

Thanks.

victorinox or fossil?

fossil got pretty good lether strap watches

The problem with Seiko is they have too wide range of products, starting from hundreds to hundreds of thousands!
Though I do appreciate their high end watch and agreed that the quality is superb, but I don't see myself willing to fork out RM20k for a GS.
Just me  tongue.gif

i do agree with you. seiko got too many range of products and caused a problem on their branding.

people no longer see that seiko as an expensive watch compared to swiss made

lets say

u put a japanese watch eg seiko at rm10k, and a swiss made watch at rm10k... you immediately think that why that japanese watch so expensive and feel that swiss made is reasonable...

just IMO hahaha
