up your budget abit and get the Sinn 857 from our member here. It's a very reasonable price and one hell of a robust watch.

 :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Sorry I already beat him to it  :P

Xxx Watch in 1utama, Tropicana Mall or Pavvillion. They carry some affordable german brands such Zepellin and Junkers. You might just opt for a Russian watch while youre there though...

a used U1 or Damasko.

Tough and would definitely survive a nuclear blast. Handsome beasts too...

U1 for the looks.

Damasko gets my vote for a tough German watch.

I live in the southern part of Germany - Bavaria - and near the Alp-Mountains.

Posts in the German-watch-forum: more than 5.000
Watches: more than 100

What I want to suggest is having a close look at "MARCELLO C."
=>
http://www.marcelloc.de/de/kollektionen.html

That small enterprise has an excellent (!) reputation among
watch collectors over here and it offers exquisite watches
at a very reasonable price!
=>

... a remark concerning "Steinhart":
He has (!) his watches being put together "somewhere" and then only sells them.
There are many complaints over and over again, those watches
arrive at the buyers having deficits or some defects ... maybe otherwise
he would not be able to get and sell them that low priced?
One may suppose nobody inspects those watches at all before they are shipped.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

But my favourite watches are all from  (Swiss)  OMEGA anyway!  :thumbsup:

Regards,
BB

Wow BB! That's a wonderful area you're living in. With a view like that and the fresh air, I couldn't ask for more. Thanks for sharing the pics.  :Cheers:

Thank you very much, 1to12!

I found this forum, because I have a watch-friend
who lives in Melaka and whom I could help to get
a personalised watch (an UNITAS-Kemmner) with his initials on
and  made to his own spefications.

Just see my "Bouvier No. IV - Stowa-Marine-Not-Original" !! :-)))
=>
(scroll a bit up to see the photos...a "Kemmner" too...)

You know,  I always say, that I am living just there,
where all the Japanese tourists come, to take some photos, *gg*

That is just some 50 miles from where I live ... was built by the
last Bavarian king about 1880 and everybody said, he were totally mad.
And nearby then, of course, there is the "Munic-Oktoberfest" too!

As to watches, we think, ARCHIMEDE offers a nice collection
... great quality for rather little money.
Here is one of the latest I bought..Model "Klassik"
=>
http://uhrforum.de/archimede-klassik-schneegloeckchen-t123566

"Schneeglöckchen" =  "Tiny Snow-jinglebell" => the flower (english:) "Snowdrop",
which is the first flower in spring  ...  even if there is still some snow .... :
