Megasales is on now! what should i buy now?

[tankmojo]

Hi friends

Long story cut short..
- my budget to pay is below 6k, after mega discounts.
- General dicount rate is 25% to 30% during megasales now. Hence, the retail price should be around RM8k
- I want a black leather strape
- I want a classy looking watch, with automatic. ideally 41 size above.
- I am wearing it more for dressing, eg. balls, meetings, leisures & for "gaya". Not for adventures.
- High accurcy, i am lazy to adjust watches 
- I always prefer brand that has better resell value, but don't ask me why  For example, i would opt for Honda over Hyundai, even if hyundai is better looking at same price.  

My personal preferece for now is BALL & Maurice Lacroix. What is your advice?

(In fact, Longines was once in the list, but i decided to take out coz of limited leather designs.)

thanks in advance for your recommendation and views

Ball? ML?
Both bad in resell value.
How?

[Everdying]

high accuracy? and lazy to adjust watch?
that pretty much rules out most automatics around that price range

In my opinion, Longines got better resell value than Maurice Lacroix & Ball.

& many classical choices with the Longines Master series & the price pretty match with your budget. Go check it out which one you really like.

YES, i wanted to know whether isit true or not, it could be an influence point for my jumpshipping. The salesman did say that before, but I doubted him. 

Here is the choices that i have made about 2 weeks ago..

Bro, have u got your ball alrdy?

I went to BSC in the evening, i walked around at the concourse, looking at the display case, quite a lot of BALL watches were either sold or being reserved, i suspect. I couldn't decide what to buy, the one that i like most are Train master-Racer, Cannonball, Worldtime Chrono, but it way passed my budget, but my wife kept pastering me buy la buy la.. very nice   

Anyhow, i should be able to make up my mine before weekend.. coz i afraid it kena hijacked leow

Too complicated for me - too many things to see and read. Got myself a BALL last week. It's a Fireman II. List price was RM3900. Got it for a little less than RM3000. Understand the model has been discontinued. No longer in the new 2011/2012 catalogue.
