Title: First Swiss Watch ~RM2.5k
Post by: digitaljedi on December 09, 2016, 11:41:38 PM

Hi all,

I'm about to purchase my first ever swiss watch and would appreciate any recommendations, with a budget of around 2.5k or so

Requirements:
Must be bought in 1Utama (Plenty of gift vouchers expiring soon  :D)
Under 40mm (Small wrists)
Preferably an automatic movement

Currently looking at the Hamilton Khaki and the Khaki King. Any chance of getting an Oris, Longines with a discount?

Appreciate all your feedback and apologize if this has been posted before. Thanks in advance

the only swiss in 1u u can get at that price are like victorinox / tissot / epos...and possibly some hamilton quartz models.

why dont u just go walk around there? only like 3 shops that sell entry lvl swiss models anyway.

How bout swatch 51? A great way to taste swiss made watch. 2016 models look good

Longines Conquest automatic is around your budget. 41 mm.

There are limited choices with your budget, but the Tissot Visodate takes the cake.

Thanks for the suggestions, decided to go for a Ball Fireman Racer instead, even though it was out of budget.

That lume  :shocked1:
