any nice watches to recommend??

Will you come back and say this to us:

<quartz watches still the better valued choice. Cheap, good, looks just as good as the automatic watches posted, and wont burn a hole in your pockets, whereas you can use that $ for other purposes>

I just bought my first Hami and I love it. Ok, I'm not a watch person but reviews in WUS are mostly positive.

Here's the one I bought :
Hamilton Khaki Mechanical 44mm Hand-wound--REVIEW

Congrats! Damage?

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

Dont bother about budget first.

Most important is what watches do you consider nice?

Budget is always 1 of the considering factor unless your bank has a few millions SGD.

Same design.... who copied who?

Can't get more versatile than a seamaster PO IMO.
The usual suspects in that range... IWC, Tag, Pam, breitling, Tudor, even chopard...

Kind souls comparing the 2 brands

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.
