Buying my first high-end watch, need advice SIFUS!!

[NIC]

Hi,

I'm getting my first high-end watch around 7k to 10k watch. I wondering should I get a maurice lacroix, Frederique Constant, longiness or bell&ross. This is the only few brand I like, I just hope the sifu here can help me out about which brand has more value and yet sexy to wear everyday!

Cheers!
[ps. and after this will be panerai luminor marina  ]

from the brand you listed, seems like you are aiming at classic instead of sport. In that case, besides those brand i would suggest Tudor, Seiko Ananta, Vulcain, Bremont, Montblanc, Longines etc.
Just my opinion though... the best is choose the watch that you love the most

Ball Trieste ... limited edition..

[EHFwatch]

Grand Seiko and Zenith if you're into good movements and great finishing. Rolex for showing off, always. Mont Blanc for style.

Rolex for showing off? Really bro?

[EHFwatch]

Yeah !  Its not cheap and its still the most recognizable watch brand in the world ... not to mention its also 100% swiss made and in-house movement ...

[ex660]

would go for Bell & Ross with this budget..
super fashion watch 

[David_cheong]

No, I beg to differ. My rolexes are not for showing off.

If you have a budget say around rm7-10k, you may want to consider a preloved classic  air king. an evergreen watch that can be worn everyday.

buying a hi-end watch is personal relationship between you and the watch Not showing off to the world how well off are u. If want to show off i rather strap my wrist with gold bars

I used to think that people who wear Rolex are people who likes to show off.....but after i go deeper into the history, the quality and the appreciation it gets from Rolex fans, i begin to like the watch more and more. I got the chance to "play" with a Rolex Explorer II from my cousins, the quality of the SS and it is very comfortable wearing it.
After that i found MWF sites and many die-hard Rolex fans posting pictures, reviews, discussion about this brand that i accept the tittle given as one of the world's most sought after brand.

Some people prefer popular brands like Rolex, Tag Heuer so that people can recognize easily what they're wearing. While some prefer less popular brands like Damasko, Stowa simply they like the design of the watch. The most important thing is to satisfy yourself with a watch that you would look at it every night before going to bed, regardless of the price

agreed   even casio has "gold" watches for those who likes bling~ If the design attracts you and the price is within your reach, why not ? At least you will enjoy the watch !:laugh:

If you have the budget, go for the Rolex (your first high-end watch). u will never regret for that decision.

this is an absolutely lovely forum. I wish there were more of them like this one out there. Details are very very important.

[dennis.T]

Apart from Swiss made maybe u shd take a look at JDM seiko..

[Godzillaz]

I'm surprise to learn it's no longer in production as I can still spot quite a few on some ADs display window...

If the price is remain the same like last time. I think This could be the best tribute Longines ever made since being taken over by swatch group.

Thank you for replying!! hahaha... at first I didnt expect anyone to reply this hehe.. Ya I agree that watch is a personal relationship and not something other people ask you to buy or wear... I will not wear something that I myself dont like it
That is a super nice longines! the only thing I'm afraid of longines is the quality, is it true that they are under swatch now? I'm not sure about swatch nowadays, but I wearing a swatch now (a gift from my grandpa 5 years ago) which is very good in quality and still working perfectly.
I LOVE rolex GMT, it will be an honor to own one but I dont think so is the right time now sorry mate.. maybe I'm a bit too young for it.. haha..
So now if longines is out then I will consider Zenith and frederique constant..

What you guys think of this two brand?

[NIC]

and I love good watch as in good movement and attention to detail, and how it looks!! hahaha
