Need some opinion
« on: June 17, 2011, 03:53:50 PM »
Hi every dude  :P

Recently i planned to purchase my 1st medium grade mechanical watch ( more valuable  ;D ). But i only allow my budget below of RM25k, which i was consider 1. PANERAI-3days  2. Rolex-Submariner 3. IWC-Pilot watch & 4. Zeith-Chrono Open.

As i knew the above brand is quite famous in watch making, can someone prefer which is the best ?

Thx the opinion  :)

what is ur intention for buying the watch? is it to impress others or to satisfy yourself or resale value? because as you said yourself you prefer panerai. why should you get a submariner when MAYBE u don't really like it. what i'm trying to share is make sure u are satisfied laa.

25k = medium grade - 1 pc

> 15K = low grade - 1pc

>10K = peanut grade - 0pc

>5K = dirt grade - 1pc

>1K = no eye see grade - 4pc

so if calculated by percentage i am no eye see grade... :Laughing_on_floor:

agreed with DC, buy the piece smiling at you..

All great watches at same tier of pricing. i'll probably categorize it like this:

Subsale: Panerai/Rolex
Brand Awareness: Rolex
History: Panerai/Rolex
Movement: Rolex (in-house)
Aesthetic : Personal Choice
Durability: Panerai/Rolex

IWC Pilot shouldent be on the list with the trio!

You Judge!!

yeah mate, i see your nick and it shouts panarei

I think just get them PAM000 that is the start up from my learning here. Looks like you may have some extra cash so if that the case can get another Rolex a bit later, anyways we are half year now so 2012 also must buy a watch what  :thumbsup:

You really don't want to get one and dream of the other

I am guessing that you are saying that in all the categories, the first watch is better than the second, e.g. subsale: Panerai is better than Rolex? If so, I would disagree on the history and durability. As for the movement, Panerai is already making it's own movement.

Thx all bro, sister

The medium grade the range could be10k to100k below loh, which is only my idea  :P

I like Panerai much, just dun wish to pay so much the extra cost due to the market hottest (Goreng)

Who had owned the zenith watch ? Can share some experience with me (becox this brand may able to ask for more discount)

My intention ofcox the 1st will be the style (panerai), then the movement (in house priority) and the last for re-selling value :P

Thx brother...
