Gong Xi Fa Chai guys,
It is new year and it is time to look for a new (or preowned) watch :)
I am looking for an affordable white dial sport watch, any suggestion?
1. Size: 38-42mm
2. Prefer 3 hands watch without complication (automatic watch)
3. Dial: white
4. Water resistant: good enough for swimming pool
5. Budget RM5k (new or preowned), the lower the better
Thanks in advance for your input

Sorry, I just read the criteria. Tyr the SARB023 instead:

WAY under your budget, and damn close to the GS above. Easily the nicest mechanical sports watch I have handled under US$1,500.

Any on your short list yet? :D

Preown aqua terra 2500
Possible to get this used at 5k? Ill be interested too ! :-*

Thanks for all the suggestions guys.
I always wanted to get an automatic Seiko but finding the right one is rather difficult - Their naming / categorization is rather confusing and not a lot of Malaysia retailers carrying Seiko automatics.
Thus far, I really like white dial Aqua Terra but I believe that finding a pre-owned one at +/- RM5k will be rather difficult.
If I can find one near my price range, it would be my first choice
Please keep the suggestions coming, thanks.

This is what I really really want (end game white dial sport watch to me). But I am far far away from it so looking for something else to wear for this 3-5 years.
:P

I feel a seiko would really be the one to choose. They have the most bulletproof movement ever.

I like this one the most out of all the GS. Really nice piece. :thumbsup:
-
I will suggest you to get a Seiko MM300.....tough and look stunning.
If for the swiss watch....Oris diver date.....look good too.
GS are good too......great piece for seiko.

Seiko is the best, many white dial variations.

Email them and ask, sometimes they can order 4 U.

If budget permits for me Rolex Explorer II. Sorry ot :Cheers:
-
Thanks again for all the suggestions.
I did some window shoppings over the weekends but nothing at <RM5k speaks to me.
I conclude that my only wants are tudor heritage chrono blue, rolex explorer ii or above.
In which case, I will end my search now and focusing on making more money instead :p
However, making more money looks tough in this difficult year :/

Cool. Save up first for your dreams ;D
-
Yeah, get something that u really like

Agreed!!
Is it possible to get this under RM5k ??
-
donald, you can't even get the cheapest GS QUARTZ model USED under RM 5K not to mention the top mechanical caliber in the GS stable i.e. the hi-beat 36,000 vph
:HammerHead:
RM 5K for mechanical watch might get you an pre-owned Omega 2500 calibered watch or an old Rolex hand wind 6694 :D

Stretch the budget and it opens a lot of door for more choices.
But I do agree +-5k, the 2500 Aqua Terra white dial with blue hands and indices is a beauty.
this is a good candidate.

No, 2500AT comes in white too with both blue or gold indices
