Seiko 5

proven time and time again through the years to be an affordable, durable and presentable watch.

I wear Seiko 5 overseas to meet Directors, GMs and even Garment ministers :s13:

Tag not more avant garde and branded than seiko?

I used to have a seiko watch but for many years never wear and gave it away few yrs back. Too plain like wat a 70yr old old uncle will wear. Pardon me im still not that old yet. Usually directors are quite old uncles lei.

try to get it Cheaper...at least 25% off

That guy told me original price was abt $3.2k so after less 15% abt $2.7k. Not sure can get 25% or not cos its newest automatic range i think with ceramic bezel. I may go the boutique shop to get instead of AD.

At 2.7k, maybe can top up abit to get tudor black Bay at around 3.8k for new or ard 3k for 2nd hand.

Tudor is part of Rolex Group, just nice when you vexing over Rolex and Tag.

Almost similar finishing to Rolex but without the premium and also without the judgement of having a fake Rolex.

quite a few bnib pieces ard 3.3. too:D

and im not sure if you are trolling ot trolling seannie:vijayadmin:

Casual day with my Steinhart Nav B-Uhr 47mm Automatic B-Type. Maybe should swap for a nato strap with the weather these days.

Cant decide between a rolex submariner or a tagheuer aquaracer.

I think you are still very young right? mid 20s?
Even if you wear a real Rolex, do your friends, colleagues or other people around you think you are wearing a real one? It also very much depends how you dress and carry yourself

What's wrong with a Seiko!? Especially one that is highly sought after.

Nah, i'm happy with my Seikos :D

Tag not more avant garde and branded than seiko?

I used to have a seiko watch but for many years never wear and gave it away few yrs back. Too plain like wat a 70yr old old uncle will wear. Pardon me im still not that old yet. Usually directors are quite old uncles lei.

and i know better than go full retard with above blanket statements :vijayadmin:

I'd expect you will still be agonising over your watch choice next year xmas

Personally I'll go for a Tudor. Similar or rather, almost similar quality to the rolex but at a fraction of the cost. I always felt that Tag watches are overpriced but that's just me.

The Tudor divers shown earlier are damn nice too!

why not get preowned tudor black bay?

I saw a preowned tudor black shield this afternoon and my eyes light up. But I didn't ask for the price before I just extracted a wisdom tooth so couldn't really speak.

People who don't know about watches will think Japan brands = cheapo, Swiss brands = Premium stuff.

Current target is a shrouded Seiko~

The new Tag aquaracer with ceramic? Probably can try it out on your wrist and decide, do note Rolex cheapest BNIB model already 7.8k I guess, that's like twice the price of a new Tudor or Tag.

got offered 2.8k for a pre-owned black bay recently.

still thinking whether to go for a pre-owned or brand new. will probably go down to few of the boutiques to take a look at their prices and discounts

from what I know, the price difference between the leather and the bracelet version is around $400 :s22::s22:

can any bros share whether the difference is really worth the $400? or am I just paying $400 for the Tudor logo to be on the bracelet :s11::s11:

If you prefer bracelet then get it.

Its like asking how what sugar level for your milk tea.
