With your current budget of 5 Grand you could probably pick up a Tissot Visodate and still have some to spare for any future purposes (which I'm pretty sure of).

go for seamaster, not enough, save.
urgent, swipe card or borrow (the balance amount).

Wow... beginner already got 5k to start ar? Damn lucky lar u...
My vote is to get something like a Tissot or Mido or Hamilton and still have cash to spare...

If you're planning to spend all 5k, then should look at Sinn or Damasko... really good stuff they make...

Damasko da46 or 47.. less than 5k

Is that the retail price of a Damasko? If so, seems to be great value for money.

I share the same fate as u... (house got broken in and lost 2 watches). Due to that, I started looking for a new watch and now I'm addicted!!!

Talking about Damasko, where could one go to in Klang Valley to find the brand? Been to quite a number of ADs and outlets in major shopping complexes but never seen one.

Manburg,

I understand there is a shop in Mont Kiara that sells the watch. I am sure other will chip to give you the exact one. I have not been to the Mont Kiara area for some time now, so I don't know where is the mall. Does the shop have a website? If so, can PM me please.

Thanks Hobbit. I just got to know that Time Factor also has Damaskos on its website. Been getting Nato straps from Eddie when I was in the UK, but never bothered to check his other offerings except the Precistas.

Hahahaha I have two Precista from Eddie and two pre-Eddie. Looks like he is having problems with another company registering the Precista name outside UK.

kaxen · « **Reply #41 on:** May 06, 2011, 03:02:46 PM »

maybe consider a preowned bell & ross.

rusminag · « **Reply #42 on:** May 06, 2011, 10:45:32 PM »

And always push for discount... 28 to 30%... don't just pay the retail price..... for RM5k you can get preowned Rolex Air King....
