it would be easier if you states out your preference  :)
purpose: diving watch? dress watch? everyday watch?
size: dial size?
complication: 3 hand? chrono? power reserve indicator?

 :Cheers:Well kamalys,Ball Watches are good and reliable time keeper,and an exellent night watchman..as their 'lumes' are the best a watch can offer.I owned one Ball Hydrocarbon Spacemaster Super Lume......and for now awaiting for my Ball Trainmaster GMT to arrive.I just simply love Ball Watches.Going for Ball Watches is going for their lumes!For me Ball Watches justifies for their price!Just my 2 cents though..... :police:

I prefer a dress watch with day and date or just date. With power reserve indicator would be nice to have:) Thanks

Oris is a well known brand and this watch is really one of a kind. SKeleton watches are usually much more expensive. This is the best value Swiss skeleton you can get!

i tried that Ball, but found it too small for my tastes, even tho my wrists are only 7 1/4 inches.

i've always like some of the Oris models. so if i had to choose one below RM5k, i'd go with that. that's what i bought for my father-in-law. generous discount if you haggle a bit.

Yeah Oris have a number of watches under 5k too. And they looks really nice. Just that, I am not and Oris type. They are usually thicker than average watches.

i tried that Ball, but found it too small for my tastes, even tho my wrists are only 7 1/4 inches.

Yeah. I guess it i a bit smaller but the design suited me well. I like black and red combo. Looks nice to me.
