Title: Planning a Christmas gift for myself
Post by: jermyjermjerm on October 08, 2012, 01:30:16 PM

Hi all, i am planning to get myself a Christmas present come December, and am looking at options for watches RM2.5k and below (Rm2k and below is preferable).

I have made a couple of choices, which are the Tissot Visodate, and a Hamilton Khaki Pilot 46mm (grey dial).
The Visodate can be found at most ADs, but i'm having some trouble finding this particular Hamilton at the ADs listed at its website, so i cannot account for how much it costs locally. eBay/Amazon has some good prices within the range, for this one, but i'm not sure if they're trustworthy.

Would anyone be kind enough to enlighten me as to the cost of this Hamilton? And some other choices too, thanks.
- Automatic
- Leather strap (brown, if possible)
- RM1.5k - RM2.5k cost

Go to the brand AD n try it on n see if it bond well on your wrist. Then buy the one your heart n head desire most.Merry X/mas in advance. fr tony :Cheers:

Thanks, Tony :)

I've tried on the Visodate, and it's nice on the wrist, but i cannot find the Pilot to try it on. Actually i'm partial to the 46mm vs the 40mm, but would still like to see if it fits my wrist well (7")

I think 44mm should be the max. for 7in wrist . just my opinion tony

agree with Tony. 46mm sounds a lil to much. Still the best way to find out is to try it on. Good luck ;)

thanks!

attracted to the size since i tried on a Nixon Chronicle (which is a nice watch too, btw!) and decided that a bit more could be spent on my first automatic
