Suggestion Needed - Budget RM1500

[chanwengyan]

Dear Sifu,

I am hunting my watch for 2014.

I have few cheapo watches in my drawer, the most 'expensive' and 'presentable' is Orient Ray. So, try to avoid Diver style for my next watch.

Budget:
RM1500 (Prefer to buy from shop)

Manufacturer:
Real watch manufacturer. Prefer Swiss, OK with Japanese but NO fashion watch.

Movement:
Prefer mechanical / auto. But I could accept Quartz.

Diameter:
40mm and below. I have small wrist.

Design:
Any but NO digital or ana-digital.

Strap:
Leather or SS

------
I have a watch in my shortlist - Tissot PRC 200 Chrono. But I found the design is a bit boring and a colleague of mine already having it.

Any suggestions and comments are welcomed.

Thank you!!

I suggest you to consider brand new Tissot T-Tempo automatic even I have a very nice swiss pre owned watches to sell soon

How about a Mido, some might be discounted to around rm1800 or so, looks classy and ahpek though, a very nice dinner watch.

Thanks for your reply but its over my budget.
I checked online price from sxperbxy.my and mywxtchgxllxry.com.my, its 2XXX - 3XXX.

Mido has such low priced watches? I thought Mido is 5k and above.

Mind to share how much % discount usually can get from shop?
My experience with Seiko / Orient (below 1k), usually could get 20% and regular / lucky can get 30% from RRP.
But I have no idea with Swiss watches.

Seiko SARB021.  The finest dressy sports watch under US$1000.

not really a watch that can withstand super-rough everyday use - but may i suggest a very2 nice looking dressy watch TISSOT VISODATE...

within the budget, swiss, mechanical, 40mm, beautiful 3 hands dial, day date..

Thanks for your suggestion.

I've checked Visodate in some shops, its tagged at 2.2, and the best offer I could get is , still almost 1.9k

Apart from the Tissot PRC range you indicated , perhaps a pre-owned Longines Hydro conquest if you don't mind a diver .

[RaymondT]

How about luminox ?

I personally like Certina models within that price range you stated. Do check it out with AD. Not many carry the brand thou.
