RM15K budget. Any recommendation?

Get a Tudor GMT or 58. It worth for the value and nice.

Hi MWF fellas,
I have about RM15K budget and planning to upgrade from a Tissot I’m currently wearing. I’ve got my eyes on Tudor BB 58 but would like to hear your opinions. New or pre-owned is fine for me. Thanks!

i had a tissot, and recently just purchased BB58, and i stare on my watch everyday since then...

Spot on!

1. Yes. Most likely a sport watch, diver or GMT as I already have a chrono.
2. Auto, preferably.
3. Tbh haven’t given much thought to it, but legibility is definitely something important.
4. My current chrono is that perhaps too thick, so I’m looking something thinner.

BB 58 is gonna be a year’s wait (at least)! But thanks to all the advice I got from MWF, I’ve narrowed down to BB58/GMT, IEC Pilot, Rolex date just and Omega Speedmaster.

Welcome more suggestions!

BB58 waiting list is mostly on bracelet model, if you opt for leather, it will be faster

The BB58 is a great choice at 14k from the boutique. Looks good with the bracelet, but also dresses up with a leather band. They’re just hard to find in stock. I’ve been waitlisted for half a year now, no luck yet.

Saw a BB58 for sale at a certain W second hand shop online. Alas, it is "on hold" and selling at only 10.5 k

It is a nice watch indeed but I’m not sure if it’s below RM15K...

I would recommend a good used Omega Seamaster, they are really solid piece. My seamaster 300m professional from 1996 is still running well with a nice patina now . But the BB58 is just perfect in size . Like those old vintage subs. Love it! only thing is it is rare to find one readily available.

With that budget you'll most probably be looking at the Tudor Black Bay or Seamaster from Omega. Personally I tried on both and went with the BB for that added character and fell in love with the vintage tone of the BBs. FYI I got the steel & gold version on a vintage leather strap. Love it to bits!

I'd like one of these too, which model would you recommend?

There are a few models, namely:

1. Frederique Constant Manufacture Classic or Slimline
2. Montblanc Star or Heritage
3. Longines Conquest or Master Collection
4. Ball Engineer Hydrocarbon

On the premise you don't intend to actually go diving or swimming with your watch, gonna suggest the Nomos Worldtimer.

Have had mine for 4 years and it's a peach. The finishing on the movement is out of the world for the price and the gmt-ish function is pretty damn useful as well

That's an excellent choice for the budget, pre-owned. You cannot go wrong with Nomos.

And if you go through the "right" channels online you can get it new very close to RM15k. I got mine below that when €1 was closer to RM4

I would recommend to go for Tudor GMT, definitely a good piece to have!

It is a nice watch indeed but I’m not sure if it’s below RM15K...

Maybe 5yrs ago.

If your budget can be stretched a bit, OP39mm white is nice.

Are you sure can get it below 15k?
