the size was right for me although I would've appreciate a seconds hand of some sort... but expecting a change in work environment soon and need to look out for classic pieces instead... have my eyes on some FC and Orient classics...  :Confused:



Big yes from me for the Frederique Constant. In house movement, available in ss or gold and I was quoted RM8,300 for it. I was really in love with it. Only thing holding me back was the 42mm size. I'd prefer a smaller case for a dress watch, but that is just me...

hmm... since you're asking what we would buy new for approx. 10 grand...

Dress
1. Junghans - Meister Kalender (beautiful piece although not any in-house movement, but totally nothing wrong with that. Tried one on and wanted to take it home)
2. Frederique Constant - Slimline Moonphase Manufacture (VFM!!!)

Sport/Casual
1. Alpina - Worldtimer Manufacture (still haven't seen one in the metal, my mind could change if it doesn't feel right)
2. Tudor - Heritage Chrono Blue (believe a bit of topping up required for a new one, but search hard enough and you may come across a rare pre-owned piece)

Hope you find something that speaks to you...

Thanks for all the advice. I bought a Tag (WAU111A.BA0858) at slightly less than half of my original budget.

Congratz on yr new purchase..Just want to say if it was me I will save rm2-3k more & go for vintage subs no date. Its ok, the most important thing is u're happy with it. Wear it in good health..  :thumbsup:

How come Omega Speedmaste price is almost similar to Omega Seamaster? Thought Seamaster will be more expensive..

anyway, pre-own rolex sub is about how much? any pic n model number? And how to choose omega speedmaster? they look almost the same lol
