thanks for the welcome back! :)

only because my 2254.50 ticks all the right boxes for me (see my review)... at a relatively affordable & attractive price...

like the rolex sub, this watch can do multiple duties as a dress, sports or casual watch just on its stock bracelet alone - it's just more affordable, more exclusive (omega don't make this design anymore) :D, can be just as accurate, is well-regarded by the watch community and imho, even better value for money!

my omega seamaster professional chronometer 2254.50 may very well turn me into a faithful one watch man after all - a secret wish of some watch nerds burdened by TOO MANY nice watches, but TOO LITTLE wrist time for each.

side benefit? i can (finally) resist watch poison and save my meagre hard-earned blood, sweat & tears money! :s12:

ps. well... maybe not! there's still the desire to collect some iconic pieces... but my 2254.50 makes me a happy bird (as opposed to an angry bird, roflmao) for quite a while to come! :D

There's one going at 2.7k in carousell. Lol
Lucky me to get it at 1.9 Haha

Hello guys, I previously asked about getting a watch for my husband with a budget of 1k and you guys gave a number of very nice options. Thanks for that again. :s13:

I ended up not buying anything yet because turns out my husband doesn't like simple designs (so he claimed) when I tried to show him the Tissot Visodate, and apparently the Steinhart Ocean 1 was too normal looking. :s8:

The other day we shop hopped abit and I think I have a better understanding of what he would like now.

Long story short, I'm hoping you gurus can help me out again. I'm looking for a design similar to this Armand Nicolet LS8 but at a more reasonable price (this is going for like sgd15k :eek: ). Budget increased to 2k. Something with slight tones of rose gold, with a fair bit of skeleton design (but not too over), and ideally has a reputable service centre in Singapore? (Is that too much to ask for? :s13: )

Help please!

Strongly recommend the skeleton watches or open heart watches from orient

From few hundred to slightly more than 1k

http://orientwatchusa.com/collections/mens-watches/orient-star/dx00001w

Pls ignore the pricing usually quite big discount can be gotten on orient and orient star

Cool find: Orient Star Skeleton DX00001W for $1,500 http://carousell.com/p/45058975

Can try this too
