I believe you'll have to order online for these brands. Google both brands to find the online distributors.

You have to at least give us an idea on what type of watch you are looking for.

Yup... maybe diver, dress, fashion, pilot, military.... manual, auto......

both are more like the pilot / diver sporty style.

pilot flieger designs are their strong selling points + case material.

Im open to any brand.Looking for auto watch with casual and formal look but not too sportly look.Any recommendation
Title: Re: Dievas?Damasko?
Post by: patryn33 on July 07, 2010, 01:34:40 AM
any workable budget?

auto watch that is both casual and formal look? thats extremely subjective.
U maybe wanna let us know more details such as size of watch. 42mm? water resistance such as at least 100m.
PVD a must? complication such as Chrono/moonphase/pwr res?  leather or steel or Gold?

Personally I would prefer damasko especially da37. Just love the plain dial and the icehardened case. Superb cool.

My budget is between RM2-4k for an auto watch that is both casual and formal look.Is that possible to find such a watch?Im looking the diameter around 38-42, with a leather strap

do check out Ball or Oris or Fortis...you might find one suiting your budget...
Title: Re: Dievas?Damasko?

Damasko is pricey for a good reason. they kinda make watch to order. so expect some wait. if u don't mind paying more go with gnome watch

I had been looking at this watch Dievas Vortex.Still under consideration,is more like a casual watch to me  :)

If u compare damasko,Dievas,oris,fortis,ball? Which one the best,sound like quite subjective rite

I think ill start to roam around watch shop again this weekend.maybe will be dropping by garden H*** G****

With budget RM2-4k,i can still find a piece of watch there?

Post by: patryn33 on July 07, 2010, 09:57:15 PM
I like Damasko best.

Dievas, Oris, Fortis, Ball.. with your budget, Fortis and Ball would be the entry level watch.
not sure if u can damasko,Dievas in the stores.
damasko put alot if tech into the case.
Devias case maybe German made.
Oris outsource the case to far east.
all of these maker use ETA workhorse ETA 2824 or 2836.
the price diff maybe more brand related than anything.
Oris may have mod it but its little


such as

Oris u can find better deals. Can even get a GMT diver
(http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/movadobaby_2110_80875132)

can even try Louis Erard.can get a high quality movement on eta 2893

Thanks for the recommendation =)

also check out Tudor bro it is a brand that have the potential to go up and its Rolex sister la so cannot be too wrong one
Title: Re: Dievas?Damasko?

Tudor marketing strategy will always stay as affordable like Longines.
Unlike Rolex using pure inhouse movement. Tudor is using unmod ETA.
no brand is able to command a premium using unmod ETA.

Girard Perregaux's sister brand Jean Richard using mod ETA movement also got stuck for many yrs. Today with the new JR1000 movement they are finding a way up.

My personal preference would be Ball. It anti magnetic, shock proof, and most importantly tritium tubes. It's just personal la
