Oris or Ball or Tag Heuer

[nefc]

Ald decide which model to buy yet? 

Hehe not yet made up my mind... However the bell & Ross 03-92 steel did gave me the best 1st impression and satisfaction when put onto my wrist..

But seen many ppl been stomping and whine about what is point of getting b&r due to their lack of history, other watches at same movement at lesser price, functionalibility etc etc did made me question myself whether it worth it.. after all it's almost 3k more expensive than the tag and 5k more expensive than the oris I posted earlier.

Btw, I did read that since 2014, when they discontinued the older version of br03-92 steel which uses the 2892-2, they then reintroduce it and are now using sw300 as their base movement due to the swatch group company restricted the movement outside their umbrella of companies.

Haih....... tough decision bro..

If limited with budget just go with oris or tag lo... sometimes i buy something that's no need any point or reason it just because i love. Maybe some people can't eat that grape than say the grape is sour gua... haha...even some don't even own one... or maybe some because personal preference brand but doesn't mean u can't have it, if u want to know exact br03-92 details can try call or email to them direct and ask they surely will give u correct answer. I try before haha.

Yeah I think I'm going to do that.. but after if I find out if it is really sw300 I think I'll keep doing research again on diff between sw300 and 2892-2 hahaha!

Br03-92 is just a few hundred above my budget of 9k don't mind top up a few if b&r is my final decision.

Thank again @olkuu0205 for ur valuable input

Found out on some international b&r club forum and few review website said only 03 heritage & 03 ceramic few line is contains sw-300 movement that u talk about...the one u wearing 03-92 steel model is still using high grade ETA 2892..

I wonder how many of those whom whined needlessly about the ETA and Selitta movements, have actually seen the movements in person? These are workhorses, very robust and dependable. Ditto Seiko and Miyota. My Dad used to service these movements, and they were easy to service and last for long. If the design speaks to you, just get it, mate.

Very soon my friend.. My heart tells me just go for it haha!

Some pictures of the watches that I have had along this horological journey sporting the typical ETA/Selitta/Ronda Swiss movements in the order of brands as per your mention i.e. Oris, Ball, Tag, and B&R. All were very dependable watches and worth the purchases. Choose yours based on what you like, and do treat us with the pictures thereafter

Wow @D'Andy very nice collection u got there.. I think I actually prefers and prioritized those watches that have their own unique design that give themself an identify to their brand... eg: Bell & Ross Square design, Panerai with their thin squarish case, ball EHC and graham with their patented crown etc etc..

Ofcourse, it is a bonus if they comes with a good movement..

These are my Ball EHC. Their robust and distinctive casing is easily spotted from afar.

[Canook]

Ive got one of each
Ball hydrocarbon Spacemaster Orbital II
Oris Carlos Coste Cenote
Tag Grand Carrera RS titanium
although these are different to the ones you are looking at they all have thier ups and downs
Ball- built like a tank and very underrated in the industry, fantastic illumination, big wrist presence... horrific resale!
Oris- very well built but ive had quality issues(cosmetic) with 2 that ive bought over the years,unique design that is usually noticeable as an oris,  will loose money if you buy retail
Tag-more mainstream, well built and excellent quality control, unfortunately the market is flooded with them and makes resale poor,so many designs that look like other brands that they are not as unique, in saying that can be bought for excellent prices and available in almost every country

It all comes down to what YOU like and what gets your attention when you put it on.......

[thickface]

Personally, all wouldn't have much resale value but keeping a Ball as collection would be nice 

[lisa hasan]

Im not able to share or advise further for both model as im still new in the lane.. still in learning progress

I can say oris is good, i love oris aquis date.. and the same thing happened to me last time when choosing tag or oris..

Sorry if im not answering your question

I think he has already given himself the Bell & Ross.

Yup! Despite many critics bout the brand... but I just love it the moment I put it on my wrist!

Buy none of those. Only buy brands with in-house movements.....not those overpriced watches with USD100 ETA or Sellita movements. Then again its just me.

Any suggestion as to decent watches with in-house movement that's on the same budget with TS?

[Ray55]

ORIS! Great affordable luxury timepiece.

[berdsc]

For design I will vote for tag heuer.
My ranking as below:
1. Tag
2. Oris
3. Ball

[opp61]

Bud.  Get a Rolex 6694 or 1601 instead.  You are around that price range  plus or minus a bit.

got your b&r already bro? just pick whatever that appeals u the most. i would say the movement is not the priority as the design/ appearance is more important as u gonna see it everyday, just my point of view tho

[mongourou]

For me Oris is an honest, still independent watch company (ok Ball is also independent) which does not pretend to be something it is not (I'm looking at you TAG).

They make great, everyday watches with a very good value to us their customers (still waiting to try the new ChronOris they showed at Baselworld this year).

They have my vote at this price range.
