A colleague asked to recommend lady watches below $300. Just to share my recommendation, all mechanical, photos taken at Bigtime

Yesterday on MRT stood next to a lady with a IWC Big Pilot. And realised it was the same lady on MRT I saw few months back. Ladies with a IWC Big Pilot are really not common. Talk about how to recognise people haha !

Ladies wear them like Panerai to have this whatever you want to call it reverse paychology as these 2 brands cater to men only...at least for Panerai, not sure if IWC has a ladies line but their tag line is "engineered for men".

IWCs move to their new in-house movements ( though not Big Pilot) are making them damn expensive man!

talk to her and ask her to join our coffee session organised by gaoxing84!

I've seen some ladies pulling off 44mm PAMs, BPs with much eloquence.

But I dare not call their fakes out in the open, cause I'd rather inspect the silicones than watches.

要叫人花大钱了!!!

Nice! The first rose gold will be awesome with a cognac brown strap. When and where is this available if anyone is privy to that?

Hi I am new to watch here.. Been looking around abit this 1 week on watch topics.. Wanted to get myself a mid range watch.. Got a few brands in mind like Hamilton, Tissot and Oris or maybe Ball.. My budget is about +-1.5k about there.. Btw heard that some place can buy at 0% installments which would be good I guess and might go higher on my budget maybe to 2.5k as I don't wish to fork out too much cash.. Thanks..

Anyone got some recommendation or advise?

if your current job salary and current spending and lifestyle allows you to easily tide through the 12/24/36 months 0% interest credit cared installment plan... then go for it.

otherwise, "Cash is King"

what kind of watch are you considering? Sports? Dress? Pilot? Diver?

If you are looking for somewhere in-between, with Brand recognition: my first recommendation will be Tag heuer aquaracer quartz

Honestly cannot go wrong with any of those brands you mentioned. All decent Swiss manufacturers

what's a BP?

by the way Mast-er... don't leave questions unanswered. be professional.

One last thing... if the bold-ed and underlined wording was intended to be a joke from you, take it elsewhere. Not in this watch thread. Not in EDMW. Not in HWZ forum.
even thou every single individual person has freedom of speech to express their feelings, their opinions, their thoughts but that doesn't entitle you to be outright sexist and be offensive to the opposite gender.

Get lost. Get Out. SCRAM
