Budget of RM7,000 to buy brand new watch
« on: May 28, 2018, 10:05:35 PM »

If you don't mind preowned watch, then Ball EHC tmt is a very good choice at RM 7k (its brand new RRP without discount is RM19k).
It has a mechanical thermometer !

I am not sure on what design do you really prefer, but at that budget, i would recommend you to have a look on Longines Master Series.

Specific model that i like personally is this https://www.longines.com/watches/the-longines-master-collection/l2-908-4-78-3

I finally managed to get two Halios Seaforth from their third series which will be delivered this August. That would have fit your budget.

For brand new at this price, other than those brands you mentioned, you may try Alpina, Frederique Constant, or Armand Nicolet.

What kind of watches are you looking at? Dressy? Casual? Divers? Chronos?

It is hard to suggest a watch when you do not specify what you want because at 7k you have a lot of choices.

Then a diver would suit your purpose. If you want a brand new watch from a recognizable brand, take a look at Tag Heuer Aqua Racer with Ceramic bezel. The watch comes in rubber or metal bracelet.

At this point it is morw about what you want. Those 3 brands are good brands and you won't go wrong with any of them.

My personal favorite is still Tag Heuer though haha.
