VDB 2011 n 2012 steel

Have you browsed a local watch shop chain that specialises in German and Russian watches? They have outlets in 1-Utama, Tropicana City and Pavillion. Quite a few brands there that might suit your budget. Good Luck! :Jumping:
-
Thanks for all opinions. Gonna looks around and narrow down those choices
-
I would look for a preowned Nomos or Sinn.

What about Stowa?
-
Stowa is great too. It's available only through mail order though unless you want to go to Germany.

Damasko and Stowa pops up on my mind. :thumbsup:
However, you might to stretch your budget a bit for the Damasko (Angpao money). :Dancing_banana:
-
Stowa has to be one of the options.....coz i've got a Antea 390 incoming myself ;D
having owned a Steinhart (just sold it), and having not seen an actual Stowa live, i'd say based on pictures and hearsay, the stowa trumps the Steinhart in quality as the Steinhart pilot i had had uneven lume applied and less refined brushing patterns on the case so if you have the budget, go for the Stowa!
-
Take a look on Junghans :P
-
sinn and nomos :thumbsup:
-
For your budget of RM 1-3K, those 'German' watches come with Swiss ETA ebauches….
For a true German watch with German in-house movements, you are looking at only a handful of brands e.g. Lange, Glashutte, Nomos, Lang & Heyne, Dorneblueth, etc whose cost starts at minimum base five figures.
-
Go for Sinn, their cases have a patented technology that excludes air from inside the case. makes the oil last longer. Although it is an ETA movement, they changed the escapement to DLC coated types which personally, i have seen requires no oil and zero maintainence on the balance and escapement which is the most important part of the watch.
-
Stowa comes to mind... I like Stowas, though not enough to buy one new.

Can PM me the name of this shop?
-
Steinhart!!
I believe it could be among the most affortable ETA-base watches around

Yes you are right I have the same experience with Steinhart Ocean Black, the DLC peeling off and the lume not even. The bright side is the watch is very affordable
-
Stowa will definitely be a good choice. Here's my Stowa Marine Original Series. Very well made and finished considering the price point.

Maybe you may try out Graf Zeppelin LZ129.
Is a nice German watch too
Can find it at 1U, Tropicana Mall, Paradigm mall.
-
up your budget abit and get the Sinn 857 from our member here. It's a very reasonable price and one hell of a robust watch.
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Xxx Watch in 1utama, Tropicana Mall or Pavvillion. They carry some affordable german brands such Zepellin and Junkers. You might just opt for a Russian watch while youre there though...
-
a used U1 or Damasko.
Tough and would definitely survive a nuclear blast. Handsome beasts too...
-
U1 for the looks.
Damasko gets my vote for a tough German watch.
-
Glashutte?
-
Glashutte?
His budget 1 to 3k
Damasko abit hard to get always no stock, how long did you guys have to wait before getting stock from AD?
-
I bought mine straight from the disti for Asia which is in Singapore while on a biz trip.
But yeah that time even they have not much stock.

I live in the southern part of Germany - Bavaria - and near the Alp-Mountains.

Posts in the German-watch-forum: more than 5.000
Watches: more than 100
What I want to suggest is having a close look at "MARCELLO C."
=>
http://www.marcelloc.de/de/kollektionen.html
That small enterprise has an excellent (!) reputation among
watch collectors over here and it offers exquisite watches
at a very reasonable price!

... a remark concerning "Steinhart":
He has (!) his watches being put together "somewhere" and then only sells them.
There are many complaints over and over again, those watches
arrive at the buyers having deficits or some defects ... maybe otherwise
he would not be able to get and sell them that low priced?
One may suppose nobody inspects those watches at all before they are shipped.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
But my favourite watches are all from (Swiss) OMEGA anyway! :thumbsup:

Wow BB! That's a wonderful area you're living in. With a view like that and the fresh air, I couldn't ask for more. Thanks for sharing the pics. :Cheers:

Thank you very much, 1to12!
I found this forum, because I have a watch-friend
who lives in Melaka and whom I could help to get
a personalised watch (an UNITAS-Kemmner) with his initials on
and made to his own spefications.
Just see my "Bouvier No. IV - Stowa-Marine-Not-Original" !! :-)))

(scroll a bit up to see the photos...a "Kemmner" too...)

That is just some 50 miles from where I live ... was built by the
last Bavarian king about 1880 and everybody said, he were totally mad.
And nearby then, of course, there is the "Munic-Oktoberfest" too!

As to watches, we think, ARCHIMEDE offers a nice collection
... great quality for rather little money.
Here is one of the latest I bought..Model "Klassik"
=>
http://uhrforum.de/archimede-klassik-schneegloeckchen-t123566
"Schneeglöckchen" = "Tiny Snow-jinglebell" => the flower (english:) "Snowdrop",
which is the first flower in spring ... even if there is still some snow .... :
