The Watch Thread - Part 7

[ahhbbb]

I can't help you but wow thanks for introducing slide rule watches to my knowledge base.

Endless possibilities, imagine currency conversion when overseas etc while shopping

hopefully someone here is kind enough to recommend me some slide rule bezel watches other than navitimer. quite determined to get it by today.

it just caught on me for the dist-speed-time, currency con., fuel consumption. now im deeply poisoned by it.

I have both.

1) tag heuer aquaracer calibre 5 300m, blue bezel
2) tissot dont know what model but with tachymeter bezel and chronograph.

the tissot was a gift, dont know where did my aunt purchase it from. leather strap so i wear it whenever i go for important events before i bought my tag.

after buying my tag, it became my daily beater. for daily use, i use nato strap, if i going out, i will change to metal bracelet.

personally i prefer the tag because its more sentimental to me, blue bezel, automatic, bought it with my own money from vincent.

check out Oris

For that budget oris is the best choice - unless you can stretch to a budget where you can get a nice condition preowned moon watch - plus around 1k more only to make it 3k budget

Yes, tag heuer shop will also give the standard 15% discount but nothing more. At other AD, there might be a chance to get slightly more discount.

Or get from changi airport when u are flying out of SG. 15% discount, plus another 7% GST less.

Tissot is the cheapest and best value for your buck when it comes to Swiss watches. You can get their COSC models for just slightly over S$1k after discount. No other brand comes close.

Tag a little overpriced IMO. For their price range, you could look at other more reputable brands.
