PMed you already. The retail i think is MYR42500.

BP, Rolex LV and Omega Speedy are different class in my opinion, really don't know how to compare.

My personal preference, BP gets my vote if I can only buy 1 at a time.


Good taste for your 20th bday  :Cheers:

all different style actually...

i heard too many complaint bought the co axial chrono....

rolex lv not suitable for 20.... but if u buy now wear it when u r 40.... then u save alot.... :Laughing_on_floor:

iwc bp is best looking among all this... again this is personal....
the 7 days movement is useful.... but some complaint the accuracy.....

happy birthday !

I find no problem with the lv, its not like its a full gold rollie haha....
If you worry its a bit too "flashy" why not go for the no date sub. Always a classic and will still be many years to come.
The BP is almost double the price of a sub...so it all depends on what YOU like most.

I feel dun buy a watch for the "approval" of the forum, we can discuss movements and finishing all day but at the end of the day buy whatever which makes you smile everytime you look at ur wrist.

I own 2 7dyas (both the newer 5001 caliber version).. both accuracy around +6/+7 per day which still under my tolerance-limit  ;D The good thing is, it gain consistently, daily (i tested it for around 2 weeks when i have nothing better to do)..

I heard can actually send back to regulate to make it more accurate but i just doesn't bother to do so..

to poison u further...

love the brown color strap... problem is, it is difficult to change strap (unlike Panerai) but it save me a lot in buying strap  :Laughing_on_floor:
