Hi all, newbie here... Ben buying a few pieces here and there and now I've decided to get my holy grail "Submariner". However I'm unable decide which model to get.

Basically I'm looking for a pre-owned (starting small) within the range of RM12k if possible. Hopefully all the sifu's here are able to provide your 2 cents.

P.S - Moderator, if there's an existing topic, pls close this and direct me to the right path.

Thanks all in advance

If you want a Submariner, you can choose this, reference 14060. If you like the date complication, then you might be able to get one of the older series Submariner Date, reference 16610. You will need to do your homework if you want them at your budget.

top up to rm 15 or 16 k and get yourself a complete set 16610 of not over 10 years.regards

Thanks femann, will try to do some research on it

If you want a Submariner, try to have a budget of 20k. That would give you much better options in the used market.

Hello seniors, If I want Sub ref 114060 brand new from AD, what sort of money do I need to save up? The other alternative for me is Explorer 1 ref 2142670, what is the damage for brand new from AD. Thank you, newbie

You can get most of your answers in the Merchants Sales Corner. Do a bit of homework on the net, read up about the watches you have short-listed - you will enjoy your catch more!

save money to buy The Green Hulk

wytan · « **Reply #15 on:** July 17, 2014, 01:11:08 PM »

Agree jacky8888... That will be around RM20-24k which will take me another 9-12 mths

dennis.T · « **Reply #16 on:** July 18, 2014, 08:41:02 AM »

U can consider 14060 or increase your budget for 16610.. Both are classic robust and iconic

Sub c nd is great, having a dilemma few days back when I choose between omega planet ocean co axial and rolex sub c no date, I go for omega as my 1st watch, but my heart and mind keep on thinking bout rolex, seem like I need to save again for it

at 12k you should be able to get a decent 14060 . The 14060 is a real robust and can be worn daily n even diving provided its well kept. Excellent reliability which not many can match . Put on a nato strap and you are good to go even to war.. lol..! size is good too. Like others mentioned , a few grants more can set you back 16610, so its entirely up to you ..! with date or no date.. sub. is a good watch/tool . =) happy hunting !
