If you don't mind preowned watch, then Ball EHC tmt is a very good choice at RM 7k (its brand new RRP without discount is RM19k).
It has a mechanical thermometer !

Post by: Christcwl9 on May 29, 2018, 06:37:13 AM: I am not sure on what design do you really prefer, but at that budget, i would recommend you to have a look on Longines Master Series.

Specific model that i like personally is this https://www.longines.com/watches/the-longines-master-collection/l2-908-4-78-3

For brand new at this price, other than those brands you mentioned, you may try Alpina, Frederique Constant, or Armand Nicolet.

Post by: Hy8ogen on May 30, 2018, 10:33:33 AM: What kind of watches are you looking at? Dressy? Casual? Divers? Chronos?

It is hard to suggest a watch when you do not specify what you want because at 7k you have a lot of choices.

Then a diver would suit your purpose. If you want a brand new watch from a recognizable brand, take a look at Tag Heuer Aqua Racer with Ceramic bezel. The watch comes in rubber or metal bracelet.

At this point it is morw about what you want. Those 3 brands are good brands and you won't go wrong with any of them.

My personal favorite is still Tag Heuer though haha.

Hi All,

I am currently using a victorinox swiss army for close to 10 years. Looking to upgrade to ball, tag heuer or oris with budget of RM7,000.

Hoping all sifu able to recommend base on budget, reliability(long term use) and clean & stylo design.

TIA.

Get a Tag Hueur, at least it still hold some value.

Post by: cn9a on November 01, 2018, 09:43:29 PM: Good choice on the Ball, I would personally go for Carrera but still a great choice.
Luckily you didn't go for the Aquaracer, too many Aquaracer selling in the grey market are super rep, they use original case and bracelet pair with a real sellita movement while mixing with other rep parts to make the watch. It's really hard to tell at times because it is almost genuine.
