Hi, Guy.

I am totally new for the watch info and i am getting my first watch which budget is around $550.

Anyone can help me to figure out which watch should i buy?

thank you so much.

try the orient bambino

Agree.... for vintage automatic model,

$300+ BUD => Orient Bambino/ Symphony

$700+ BUD => Tissot Visodate / Le Locle or Seiko SARB065

I have called up but does not carry Omega. And for Rolex sub/ sports range, it is not included. For Breitling, they can offer 25%+10% and think good buy.

 

[javincho]

try longines, it should fit the budget.

FC or Rado can also consider too for ladies

Hi guys, can your recommend where to get cheaper Tissot or Hamilton watches? Which would you recommend out of the 2?

Thanks

My heart goes to Tissot. Generally it is cheaper with similar layout than Ham.... a few bro recommened online purchase & as for me, I will pay a bit more to try and feel physically.

They only told me Paragon & Wisma have promotion.... so if KB has it too, then Omega is much better purchase 8% + 10%.....

should hv waited n hold on.... though during Xmas, luxury watches don't go for sale or card promotion.

orient mako

This is much better than fake Rolex. Heard u can now pay interest free installment at Hour Glass and get a true Rolex within yr means...

 

[javincho]

hehe exactly what im thinking of, thinking of 1 dat is not too heavy though n weighing other options hehe

I have 2 G-shock (first one last for 8+ years) and both serving me well....

 

[javincho]

Based on looks, I'll take the Tissot. I dont know anything about the movements.

+1 for Tissot.

Here is Big Time's address
483 Sims Avenue,
Singapore 387555
Tel: 6841 4380
Mon – Sat 1-6pm (Closed on Sun and PH)

From my research, Big Time prices are slightly higher but you get to see so many Orient models there. I bought from them because the model I want I can't find anywhere else in SG.

Bambino and the monster are very different watch style, 1 is dress and the other is a diver; choose which you like better when you see them. Btw, Bambino has no lume at all while the monster has nice bright lume.

Bambino and the monster can be found in lots of shops, if buying these 2 can visit Bencoolen or Bras Basah shops.



SG? Big Time is in Singapore. They are the distributer Orient and Giordano watches.

Thank you. My next target will be Bambino and probably next year's resolution...

Heard from my friend the same thing about Hour Glass offering 36 months interest free installment too.

 

[javincho]

Yes they do. Just bring down as for a normal servicing. Or u can go thru boutique to save time.

The sales staff recommend at least 5 years or more for brand new, as don't need to waste money within 2 years expiry... anyway decison is yrs

Maybe economy is going slow-down next year and retailers are now pushing to max. sales as much as possible. So this could be best time to buy luxury stuff...??
