Title: Suggestion for white dial sport watch
Post by: roystock on February 05, 2014, 06:00:18 PM
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.

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 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.

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 :/

Agreed!!

Is it possible to get this under RM5k ??

Post by: JOS2012 on February 22, 2014, 05:59:30 PM
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.
