Would be good to know your budget.
Based on both your choices, seems like you're looking for a sports watch?

How was the design? Got pics?

The Breitling, more color than the sea master

The Sea Master

The below is not a 28mm model

Omega!

Both are good watches from reputable brands. Consider as well the Sharapova collection from Tag n the Conquet models from Longines which r in the same price range. Personally, i prefer d Omega.

brands aside, in my opinion the Omega one suits both sports and dress occasions better than the Breitling one. The Colt 33 seems much more sporty.

Try this from TAG aquaracer, sports with classic feel.

Vote for Omega

My vote for the Breitling, looks more "fashion-friendly" and contemporary.

Omega Seamaster 28mm stainless steel straps with black dial

The Omega

MRH · « **Reply #14 on:** June 24, 2014, 11:50:40 AM »

For a budget of around 8k, u hv plenty to choose from. I think first u need to decide on whether u want an automatic or a quartz. Next is the design, sporty,dressy or simple. U hv considered omega n breitling. I proposed earlier to also look at tag and longines. Oris too has nice women watches... Go to d shops n try them n let d timepieces talk to u.... All d best in ur hunt n once u hv plunged, show us ur choice

Mathelda · « **Reply #15 on:** June 24, 2014, 07:55:06 PM »

I would like a quartz watch, I think it's more accurate. I think sporty is good since I'm quite sporty myself

. I will go to the mall and have a look on this weekend. Any suggestion for watch shop in mid valley or pavillion? How many percent of discount do u think I can get for these watches? Need a rough idea for haggling purpose

I think it's against Forum rules to discuss specific discounts given by shops or ADs.. members might PM you though! Watch Boutiques are generally less generous.

yes the best way is to do some leg work and find out the best discount yourself. this way you get to try on both watches and maybe even others that might catch your fancy. some watches look great in adverts but not your wrist.

omega discount is quite controlled. AD inclusive.

breitling discount varies from AD to AD.

The rule is go to boutique for viewing but make your purchases elsewhere.

MRH · « **Reply #18 on:** July 09, 2014, 12:36:02 PM »

So Mathelda, what did you decide on? Do tell n indulge us with your wristshot.....

Mathelda · « **Reply #19 on:** July 09, 2014, 04:09:24 PM »

Hi! sorry for late reply. I decided to buy Breitling Colt 33 since i like the unique design of it. For some reason, i think Omega seamaster 28mm look quite similar with few other watches. I bought the Breitling Colt 33 from Sincere in Pavilion and my two other friends ended up buying Omega Seamaster 28mm and Omega Seamaster Mid Size Automatic Co-Axial from Omega Boutique in Starhill.

Omega Seamaster 28mm on my friend's skinny wrist (she wore it terbalik while taking photo, maybe she is too excited to have a new watch lol!)

Breitling Colt 33mm on my wrist

So far, im happy with my watch. The size is just right on my wrist and it looks like it doesn't have a glass.

Calibr · « **Reply #20 on:** July 09, 2014, 05:25:05 PM »

Congrats! Excellent choice!

Looks very hardy and substantial! Wear in good health..

GMTmaster · « **Reply #21 on:** July 09, 2014, 08:59:31 PM »

acquired taste.

Nice one Mathelda! Looks really sporty! Enjoy!!!

I remember Breitling SS casing and bracelet are quite heavy. Do you feel your watch heavy?

asimo · « **Reply #24 on:** July 28, 2016, 08:51:51 PM »

from my understanding, the discount by official boutique is less than authorised dealer...

congratulations on your purchase... Brietling is something different from the "usual" brands...
