Some criteria please.

Quartz or Automatic?
Sporty or Dress watch?

How familiar are you with watches? Do we need to explain basic concepts (eg: automatic vs hand wind) to you? A bit of background info will help us with your choice.

 ;D ;D ;D

Around 5k you have plenty of choice .If he's the classic type ,Longines would have been a good choice. If he's a sporty type Ball or Oris sports watches would have been a good choice. just my opinion n greetings to your dad , tony

Take a look at http://www.mido.ch/ (http://www.mido.ch/)

Mido watches are easily available in Malaysia. Lots of dress watches all within your budget. I am partial to the all-dial design line. Some of them are chronometre certified (tested to stricter time-keeping standards).

Oris has a good selection of large watches in that range.
