Post by: Zen8 on August 25, 2014, 07:23:44 AM: Among the brands you mentioned, I would go for Omega.

Their Co-Axial Escapement in most of their watches is very accurate and reliable. Omega is also more recognisable and hopefully it will translate into a better resale value.

Post by: meoramri on August 25, 2014, 07:29:02 AM: What environment will the watch be subjected to most of the time......dress, sports, water/scuba etc? This is a very important consideration for the type of watch you should get.

As for all time subjected watch, I'd suggest Ball if within the budget.

Post by: Yikkie on August 25, 2014, 07:50:48 AM: 8k? I would go for a pre-owned Omega Speedmaster Professional. Iconic, recognizable, historical and versatile.

Post by: Calibr on August 25, 2014, 08:11:37 AM: If it's your first "expensive" watch, it would be better to buy a new one with full warranty. If you are buying pre-owned with expired factory warranty, be prepared to fork out more money if it needs repairs or service. For RM8k, there are many choices from Breitling, whether dress or sports model. :Cheers:

yes, I agree. A few other brands selling over $20k n their movement is not as good.
