Hi,

I am seeking help to get a watch under RM5k. Any idea?

Thanks!

kamalys · « **Reply #1 on:** May 06, 2012, 08:31:18 PM »

thinking about getting this one and cost less than RM5k. Any Ball's fan here?

TJWN · « **Reply #2 on:** May 06, 2012, 08:45:07 PM »

it would be easier if you states out your preference

purpose: diving watch? dress watch? everyday watch?
size: dial size?
complication: 3 hand? chrono? power reserve indicator?

I prefer a dress watch with day and date or just date. With power reserve indicator would be nice to have:) Thanks

gloomis · « **Reply #12 on:** May 07, 2012, 05:30:51 AM »

steinhart & laco is 1 of my favourite if talk about watch below 5k

ivanpei · « **Reply #13 on:** May 07, 2012, 07:00:11 AM »

If you want something unique and special, try this out:

http://www.oris.ch/collections/collections_detail.aspx?ln=en&modelid=182

Oris is a well known brand and this watch is really one of a kind. SKeleton watches are usually much more expensive. This is the best value Swiss skeleton you can get!

kamalys · « **Reply #14 on:** May 07, 2012, 08:07:14 AM »

I dont think Longines and Oris are selling under RM5k?

rusminag · « **Reply #15 on:** May 07, 2012, 08:27:52 AM »

Preowned Rolex 6694 or 1603...

ivanpei · « **Reply #16 on:** May 07, 2012, 10:36:46 AM »

Oris Artelier I think is 6k Retail. Nego abit can get for 5k.
