U ppl? Did I poison u?
I didn't put a gun in your head leh, no free will meh?

sho fierce

ok lets put it this way. I want the nicest watch within the lowest price i can get. Otherwords, the nicest & best valued. Any recommend? I dont intend to spent a few k just on a watch at the moment. Too heavy for my taste. But at least i wanna something that still looks damn good, yet looks expensive & classy. U know what i mean? Something not too exp. Not so based on the branding. Design wise must look WOW! that kind of feel.

I dont know anything abt watches at all. Need real expert help here. Dont give me too many brands that i dont even know of. Just one that you think beats the pack. Thanks. Got pic even better.

that's why the first question was "what's the budget?".....depending on the price point, then can recommend...otherwise for watches, the sky's the limit...

plus, some brands which you may not have heard of may have nice designs too.

what's your definition of "design wise must look WOW!"? are you looking for a dress watch, sporty watch etc....?

Hi,

I have a Longines watch. My wife accidentally dropped it and the glass cracked. Where can I get it repaired and what is the indicative cost?

longines service centre at wheelock, you can go there and ask for an assessment.

WOw, good, thats what i want. Brands unheard of but having damn cio designs... Like i said, i want something that looks expensive & classy, so definitely not for sports right?

Budget wise very hard to determine. If something looks real out-of-the-world good, i dont mind stretching. Most impt it must be well-designed. Cannot look so-so only. The moment everyone see it, they must go "Wow!" or at least "not bad" la.

when you say you don't mind stretching your budget, means you already have a budget in mind...so what's that budget?

depending on budget then can give recommendations....

Looks good bro Whats the dmg?

Congrats! Damage?

Unitas 6497 is great movement.
Not sure why Hamilton does the little window on the back

I bought it for $763 at Cortina @Wisma. Could have bargain more though.

I like watches with a big dial and this does not look at all huge on my slim wrist. Being mechanical is a plus too. I've grown use to winding it every morning when I wake up.

I would say it's a very decent price for a well made watch. It goes well with my casual and grunchy outfit.
