Anybody got any watch recommendations? Suitable for all occasions? But budget abit ah cause member only student ah.
Try the watch with ETA powermatic 80 movement from hamilton or some tissot model if you have budget between 600-1000.
This movement good for beginner because of long power reserve (3 days) and very good accuracy out of the box. Quite surprise how they calibrate the movement.

Hi all, I've more or less decided on the Omega moonwatch, only thing that its a manual winding watch. In your experience, is that an issue? I really don't like the idea of winding a watch every other day, but i like the look of the moonwatch though.

Also, the omega official boutique is retailing the watch at $7300, any other reliable shops retail it at cheaper price? Normally the official shop sells it at more exp price right?

There's something special about winding up watches manually. There's just more soul and connection in it, I feel.

Plus which person only has 1 x moon watch? You are just kidding yourself la. Confirm will have a few pieces rotate one.

Only that longines(many amex free longines) quartz watches in circulation disproportionately high

Battery watches to me is a minus (i dont like brands that known for making too many quartz) just a personal preference

Tudor owner fall into one of these categories

1. Actually a rolex owner but scared rolex get scratches if use as daily/ or kana robbed when driving in malaysia
2. Like old rolex watches and vintage watches in general but cannot get their vintage watch releases hence tudor releases like black bay, heritage chrono and p01 will satisfy vintage craving
3. Potential rolex owner
4. Someone who has also seriously considered omega watches
5. Someone who bo pian end up with a tudor because want to move up the queue for rolex

= tudor owner = someone who believe they bought a lexus with toyota budget (but this lexus still without lexus features)
