Hi Guys,

thinking to get a swiss made mechanical watch. havent decided which model to go for. currently this is the 1 i have shortlisted (still looking for more options)
What i like about this watch is because it is automatic mechanical(no battery required right?), sapphire crystal, the looks and it is about RSP 2650. Any comment? or any recommendation(budget is <3k, cheaper the better :D)? I just started to learn about watches.

get it with a steel bracelet, the you can "play" leather straps later on. (red, black or brown also can) :thumbsup:

Don't forget though mechanical watches do not use batteries, it requires service every few years or so (depending on brands and use) when the time is vastly inaccurate or stop beating. Just in case, u forget this tiny point. :)

thanks! it is ok. mechanical watches time should be very accurate right? i dont want to adjust the time once a month or frequently :'(

hi, welcome to mwf fellow newbie :Cheers: mechanical watches will not be as accurate as quartz. btw, that's a very handsome watch. looks very versatile to me :thumbsup:

will not go wrong with this watch...great look, sapphire crystal, swiss made automatic chronograph..a real bargain at it's class. :thumbsup:

Typically mechanical watch at that price you are looking at has the variation of +/- 15s / day. Better ones are about < 5s / day. if you very particular about accuracy then mechanical watch is not for you. i had the problem when i bought my 1st mechanical watch. it took me a while to get used to mechanical watches.
People have many different reasons as to why they buy mechanical watches they buy. That is another discussions for other times.

Some used Oris and tag heuers can be had for < rm3k.just do a search

For the budget, you should also check out Victorinox watches. They have really nice swiss made automatic watches with ETA movements.
