thanks CK!

BTW, this would be a present from the elderly for my upcoming wedding.

I have choose Maurice Lacroix Pontos Day/Date - from my parents.

Now my in law is offering me RM1,500 so I got to play with budget, perhaps i could top up 500 - 1000 and get a good watch.

The Tissot is very much look like Pontos  :laugh:

tony, do u have any series recommendation on BALL?
I kind of like Engineer Master 2 diver series...but it is RM3k+

If you don't mind Japanese, then this is indeed a good choice, especially with Seiko's inhouse 6r15 calibre. If you wanted something more formal/dressy, check out their SARB mechanical series, price range will also be around the same as this Sumo. They are JDM, very well made.

I think these watches are alot more better value than the entry level Tissot or Oris.

Thanks all for the feedback and suggestions, and not forgotten the wishes!!  ;D

I think I will opt for a diver series.

I am using a pilot series on my day to day, parents will be giving me a elegance series, so in-law would be diver series...

I will go check out Seiko on their diver series..

MIDO is little over on my allocated budget I think..

  Hi bro, you can always buy  after your wedding. Buy a watch you like rather than something cheaper which you don't.  tony    .... :Confused:

Agree with Tony Bro.

Buy something you like.

Mido you can get good discount.  Dont just look at the price tag, try it and try ask for discount.  U may be surprised on how much discount u can get.

If 1,500 to 2,000 is your budget, i guess ORIS would be a good value for your money
