Anybosy getting the cartier tank? Thinking if i should get it while waiting for the cartier wif inhouse

Hi noobzpro i also think that the cartier tank look damn swee and classic. U should get it if you have the means. Do u know Whats the price?

 

[Seannie]

if want buy tissot, budget range of around 300+ can get anot?

if no, can recommend other brand for me?

im looking for leather strap type only.

Tissot not bad already, many forummers here think its fine. U need to save at least $200 or so more to get one. Tissot visodate alry $600. Cheaper models maybe $500 u can get lor. Other brands i think better not try la unless u heard good reviews abt them. Try to get a tissot. Wont go wrong. Many here endorsed it and will approve your choice.

definitely makes a worthy surprise love gift - at paris' pont des arts, no less!

btw, it also comes with a fabulous diamond bracelet which adds another approx usd100k more.

U buying for your gf or wife?

Anyone has an estimate of how much is the price of a tissot powermatic 80? The leather version with clasp. Not sure if I should get it at airport at the end of month.

Dont think tissot can be too expensive. Just prepare 2k should be in excess liao? Else pay with credit card lor. Hoot first think later.

Isn't that watch feminine?? 3.3k isn't a lot. Not uncommon for ppl here to pay $8-20k for a watch

3.3k ISH a lot for common people, unless ofcourse common refers to rich people here. For common people, anyting more than 1k we need to scratch head liao & think whether we should scrimp and save or just forget abt it totally & look for cheaper alternatives.

Oris divides its watches into four subsections: Motor Sport, Aviation, Culture and Diving. or are you looking for a Dress watch?

if you think that Tissot Seastar is the best value-for-money watch in that category then its worth buying.

In short, buy what one can afford.
If one has to think here think there, then best to keep the money.

Honestly watches serve no practical purpose except aesthetics and ego fodder. But for those of us who appreciates what goes into one, then it makes it all worthwhile. Not to mention it makes a great family heirloom, imho.

No worth it or not worth it. U like it, its worth it.
U buy already never wear, its not worth it.

Ya most of the time its like that hahahhaa then end up with buyers' regret.
Now I give myself a couple of months' cooling off. Works well for me.
