Never look at Rolex much, but how much is this piece:

And which is a better buy compared to this one from Cartier that retails for $7,200 with 5% discount (bracelet version):

Guys ah... where to polish off scratches ah? Yesterday accidentally bump my new watch, got hairline scratch

can get cape cod cloth... but, no point... the scratches will be back in no time!

just get the watch polished when you send it in for servicing N years down the road. BUT.. maybe by then, you already hoot new watches liao...

conclusion: just wear first lah. haha

Hey, do you think it feel good to be admitting that i cant afford a few thousand dollars of watch here? That is why i provided a long winded description in my much earlier post of what i am looking for, hoping to get some helpful info, but looks like im only being shot with loads of yellowish sarcasm here. If really read my post, would have known what im toking.

If cant understand my posts, then just forget about the whole damned thing. Im better off without a watch.

I have been reading the first half of the pages of this thread and can't help but find your posts rather impolite. I feel that the way you ask for help is not really appropriate. The pros here are nice enough to recommend us (noobs) watches so I usually very polite and ask them nicely and appreciate their help too.. You make it sound like you are paying the people here to recommend you a watch. I think those who were willing to help you, really have big hearts.

Thank you. May I know if Orient is a good brand for a budget of 100 - 150? I am looking for a classy and simple watch that looks decent.

Should I stick to a good brand or buy an unknown brand that looks good.

Thanks for your help people..

Yes for your budget can get a decent Orient watch, up your budget by $50 and you can get the bambino series which is as classy and simple as you can get.

Important thing is you liking the look of the watch cause you will be looking at it most of the time. If you don't like the design then it doesn't matter how good the brand is.

Orient is pretty well known in the States, Europe and Japan. I see them as the Asian version of "Germany Maunfacturers".
Producing high quality watches at very affordable pricings, which i feel is even lower than seiko.
And the build, imo, i feel is much better than seiko.

In Singapore, there is a niche group of Orient lovers. Some of them are right here in this thread
Including my dad as well... recently bought him an Orient Star and he loved it.

If you cant decide...head down to mustafa and line up the watches in front of you and try them 1-by-1... that was what i did at mustafa when i wanna buy a watch for my younger sister a few months back...settled for a classy A|X dress watch.

how to know if the watches are real or fake ar? is there any shops in mustafa that you recommend? since so many counters there.. haha

 

[exterminazn]

any recommended 500-700 dress watch?

 

[hwaa]

there is no shops in mustafa, all housed under one roof. theres a orient counter there, watches are from them itself putting there to sell, if not just head to big time at geylang there.. they are the main orient watch distributor.

how to know if they are fake? good question, they offer warranty.. so as far as i know... they are warrantied products by agent itself.

and then, mustafa is sooooooooooooooooooooo damnnn rich that i doubt they will sell fake products.

 

[hwaa]

i've bought many things from mustafa before from tv to bluray to watches to gps to soundbar to fans to printers. so far all are warranty from agent.

my printer recently got problem and the canon peeps came up and rectify.
