1st, i m not planning to have another BF yet, I can put you in the KIV list,  :)

prefer auto, sport or classic will be fine, as long as it worth the money. my bf owned Longines, Oris, Tag, Rolex, Seiko, Ball, Tissot. Was thinking wanna get a brand that he dun hv, or something among these brands as that's what he like?

If you are looking for something that you BF does not own yet, my suggestion is :
Fortis
Hamilton
or get some of those Limited Ones... from the brand that you have mentioned.. that might work wonders... :)

Sinn i am not sure..

Fortis, if you can , get the new B42 - limited 2002 edition... Stealth Black... digg the whole watch itself...
IF you wan more "hyper" one.. get those Spacematic.... that comes with a box, and an extra strap... but not sure if that is within ur budget....
http://www2.fortis-watches.com/sf2010/en/ - that is the models for 2010... :)

If he wans MAN stuff, Hamilton Khaki series is good... from what i see

Sinn, the latest one is very nice. but limited to 400 pcs i think.... and i dun think we can get it here... (my speculation)

OMG... thanks for both of ur suggestions.. i love all the suggestions that you guys provide, now i cannot decide d.

Fortis B42 was my first choice before i came into this forum, but not the black stealth. after i see the black-black model (black stealth), i love it so much, better than the one i was thinking to get.

Sinn U1 is nice too... i think it suit my bf

Hamilton Khaki series are gorgeous too.. how le

Title: Re: suggestion for a birthday gift to my bf
Post by: shijiko_7 on July 13, 2010, 05:49:25 PM
My suggestion, get ALL THREE.. and then give him for his Birthday, Raya, Deepavali, Christmas, New Year, Chinese New year, your anniversary... where u stay> go and see the watches in your place la.... :)

Fortis is definitelty worth the money as i have TOUCH and FEEL them before... and fell head over heels for it... but my finance minister does not allow such vigorous spendings yet.. hahehahehaeh

He's just trying to help u save money.

If you and your BF don't mind the pre-owned watch.
Omega Seamaster James Bond or Speedmaster 1861 would be to one I suggested.
Title: Re: suggestion for a birthday gift to my bf
Post by: JPSP on December 07, 2010, 08:50:22 AM
i was thinking...since your BF owns a lot of round shape watches..why not try to look at bell and ross BR03-92 which is square in shape? something different. just a suggestion

Post by: kinson on December 07, 2010, 09:43:34 AM
She actually mentioned (back in July) that her bf doesn't appreciate it or something and she's gonna get a gift for herself instead. So I guess it's case closed :p

Then again, maybe we should start recommending female watches instead, taking into account the change of events, haha.
