Look around for entry level ball or oris with a little more top up.. tony :Cheers:

thanks CK!
BTW, this would be a present from the elderly for my upcoming wedding.
I have choose Maurice Lacroix Pontos Day/Date - from my parents.
Now my in law is offering me RM1,500 so I got to play with budget, perhaps i could top up 500 - 1000 and get a good watch.
The Tissot is very much look like Pontos :laugh:
tony, do u have any series recommendation on BALL?
I kind of like Engineer Master 2 diver series...but it is RM3k+
-
How about diver?
Seiko Sumo is a good watch.

If you don't mind Japanese, then this is indeed a good choice, especially with Seiko's inhouse 6r15 calibre. If you wanted something more formal/dressy, check out their SARB mechanical series, price range will also be around the same as this Sumo. They are JDM, very well made.
I think these watches are alot more better value than the entry level Tissot or Oris.

Thanks all for the feedback and suggestions, and not forgotten the wishes!! ;D
I think I will opt for a diver series.
I am using a pilot series on my day to day, parents will be giving me a elegance series, so in-law would be diver series...
I will go check out Seiko on their diver series..
MIDO is little over on my allocated budget I think..

Hi bro, you can always buy after your wedding. Buy a watch you like rather than something cheaper which you don't. tony .... :Confused:

Agree with Tony Bro.
Buy something you like.
Mido you can get good discount. Dont just look at the price tag, try it and try ask for discount. U may be surprised on how much discount u can get.
:thumbsup:

Hamilton?

Have u bought the ML Pontos yet? Maybe you can lump it together to have a bigger budget for an Omega? ;)

If 1,500 to 2,000 is your budget, i guess ORIS would be a good value for your money

I don't think less than 3k can get an Oris... ???

I think the Oris big crown date entry level is around there n the Ball fireman entry level with SS bracelet is around there too...fr tony..
-
For RM1500 to RM2000 you can get a very nice Tissot. For the sports model, the Tissot PRS 516 non-chronograph should be within your budget. Take a look at the Le Locle range too. Very nice design. Oris is mostly out of your budget and so is Ball. Maybe can find a pre-owned Oris below 2K.

Can u pls pm me the model? I really cant get which model u're saying. :-* The cheapest i can get for an Oris & Ball is around 3k...most of the shop in Pxxxxg tends to ignore me when I tell them my budget for Oris & Ball is below 3k. :HammerHead:
-
Can consider Victorinox auto?
-
Probably the lower range of Longines and Ball? Oris has some nice ones...but they are a bit more above the budget.

When I bought my BALL Fireman II, which is a discontinued model the recommended retail price was RM3900. That, as far as I know, was the cheapest BALL around. The salesperson who attended to me said that the lowest RRP for a current entry level BALL watch is above 4K. So, even with the best discount it is still way above your top limit of RM2000. The situation is also the same with ORIS. In my opinion, unless you 3K plus to spend forget this two brands. Look around a few shops on their selection of TISSOTs and SEIKOs and pick one you like. These two brands make good watches that are affordable.

Yup, I know. But Tony said got, then I presume maybe he got some lubang ;D

Maybe he does. Why don't you pm him and find out? Let me know when he lets you in on the "lobang". ;)

If you are seeking layman recognition of watch brand, I would like a tag heuer! I used to.
After joining this forum, my taste totally changed. Poison poison.
For 1.5k I would steinhart quite vfm
-
I love my dead Oris... all my watches are dead or stolen... I'd take a king seiko 4 that money, great watch,movement like glove and looks superb...
-
just my own opinion arr... :laugh:
my own justification would be:
anything below 1,000 get a nice Seiko, Citizen and etc
anything 1,000 to 2,000 get a nice Tissot and etc
anything 2,000 to 3,000 I don't know what to get, stucked.
anything 3,000 to 6,000 get a Tag, Oris, Longines and etc
anything 6,000 to 8,000 get an Omega, Tudor and etc
anything more than 8,000 don't buy anything, continue to save up and buy a Rolex.

rm2-3k can consider epos...hand wind and a decent 5.9mm thick.
(http://www.epos.ch/collection/gents/originale/images/3408gross.jpg)
epos' aqua terra wannabe.
(http://www.epos.ch/collection/gents/passion/images/3401gross.jpg)
ball also have their own aqua terra wannabe, but its more than double the price of epos, tho if anyone cares it is cosc spec.

-
at first glance, i really thought it was Omega Aqua Terra :thumbsup:
-
ball really close to Omega AT teak wood dial design
-
Ball is ok, the Epos looks much nicer in real life...especially the silver dial version.

More or less, I have firm up my choices for my gift.
My parents - Oris Diver GMT
My in laws - Mido Multifort
Thx for all your inputs.
-
New Certina DS action divers... iso certified divers, eta automatic movement, superluminova, sapphire, engraved backcase and less than 2k :)
-
Thanks all for the pointers.
I have gotten the Oris GMT Diver during my recent trip to Jakarta.
Got it cheaper compared to Malaysia too. :thumbsup:
-
Gotten the 2 watches I am looking for.
Thanks again for all the feedback n suggestions. :thumbsup:
-
Please get a Seiko sumo ,especially blue sumo.
-
The seiko prospex turtle is an excellent watch below 2k as well.
I love my sumo, my brother looks at it with envy cause the lug width is over 50 mm which makes it too big for him to wear.
