Hi Everyone, i would need some suggestion on watches that i can acquire in that budget
preferred brands would be Rolex and Panerai but if you could suggest something better would appreciate
Thank You.
-
Simply by asking for suggestions from the Rolex and Panerai range for your budget, can I safely assume that you are looking for a sports watch? Does is have to be brand new? Or do you mind a used one?

With that amount you can either get a new panerai base model or a pre own Rolex sports watch. regards tony

Pre-owned subby :thumbsup:
-
214270
-
For that budget, there's a wide variety of watches to suit your taste. Are you looking for a sports watch or dress watch?
-
I would go for a Zenith El-Primero. Should be within your budget after discount.
-
Thanks for the suggestion
it will be much helpful is you could provide the exact model number of the watch.
i would prefer a brand new watch for daily wear.
the budget could go up to 20k if the watch is beautiful.
-
If 20k and for daily wear, I would say SubC 114060
-
Explorer 1 39mm
-
If you can push up to 20k, then the El Primero Chronomaster 1969 / Power Reserve should be a damn good buy :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I would recommend a Rolex submariner no date.
-
Rolex la bro steady!
-
Pre-owned or new?
Can go for pre-owned rolex sub 16610 (15-17k), or no date for even less at 13k plus minus.

A rolex or panerai is still the best as they hold value. Unlike others which drops a fair bit over the years. Pre-owned is the best.

how much is this? around 20k-22k in AD?
-
From your forum name, I assume you love Mercedes Benz.
Since you love Mercedes, Rolex shall be your choice as Rolex's hour marker 'star' matches those on the Mercedes car. ;D
Daily watch, then must have date function. My personal choice would be Sub Date C (116610) or Explorer II (216570).
Both Sub C or Explorer II will stretch your budget over RM20K for brand new set.
Now the choice is yours.
-
U can go for pam000
-
IWC Navitimer World Time would be my choice :Dancing_banana:
-
PANERAI 005, 000, IWC
Actually if u dun mind, pre-owned plenty of choices.
-
Get either the second hand submariner or GMT master II. It will hold its value in years to come

IWC pilots watch XVII :)

Pams and rollies dont appeal to me
-
I recently let my 3717 Pilot's chrono go...but then I started to get the IWC itch again. And somehow the mark III bracelet on this Mark XVII was appealing. It is a bit of a struggle as on one hand...I seem to be moving towards watches of a smaller diameter. On the other, this clean looking watch is very attractive in it's own seductive way.
Similar to you I also didn't have anything pulling me towards Panerais and Rolexes. However, after trying a Rolex on, I was smitten by a particular model and never looked back. Panerais, however, will have to keep working it's magic on me... :)
Back to the OP, I would also try out the Rolex Explorer I

I like both. Mark xvii with metal bracelet is about same Price as the chrono with leather. I really love the iwc bracelet
As a daily beater watch the mark xvii is lighter and less 'showy'. But I'm still making up my mind.not yet confirm which one I will end up with
