Camp at massdrop or amazon us lightning deal.If you dont mind paying around 150- low 200+ can either go bigtime or the 1st floor of katong shopping complex.
I bought my orient black ray bracelet for 67usd last black friday.
Hope it helps.

i know your feelings
don't worry, collect a few more watches, hopefully your taste level improves.
speaking of ugly, saw this in the dumpster, owner had the common sense to throw it away, even the FWs are not touching it.
btw 1985 called, and wanted their watch back
someone recently bought an oris from cortina sale ha?
Jin cham, an asshole with bad taste

Wow sound like an expert. 3 years ago still asking people in the forums how to change strap, now sound like a horology guru. LOL.
Go play with your battery operated omega and karang guni seiko, you have very good taste indeed.

買錶时的 “矛盾 舆 纠结” 三部曲
好久没写短文抒发一下我自己見到，又無法提出意見的買錶际遇。。。
幾個小时之前去了我这幾個月一直光顾的錶铺，找那里錶铺经理，談錶論錶，探消息。
大约15分鐘之后，就有個大陆仔步入錶铺，望下看下，由最平价的天梭，直到店内最贵的“挑多”，幾乎店内大大小小12個品牌，销售员都至少由6個品牌取出两隻錶给他看过，给他摸。。。。。 过了半个小时，大陆仔还迟迟没选到自己最终想要的一款。錶铺经理见那大陆仔依然没点头绪，就出手帮下那個花了半個鐘头又無法叫大陆仔显露一丝“有兴趣”表情的女店员。
大家以为经理出動一定叫得大陆仔荷包動一動咧~~~？
哈~~~ 错！
经理一出動，就用一般的“中国人只會名牌”的“心里战术”去招呼大陆仔。。。
果然。。。小小成功的引起大陆仔丝丝“有興趣”表情。。。搞得大陆仔一直问如何可以用分期付款買隻“戴好嘢”。经理于是提出不同的分期项目，数目，给大陆仔做选择。一提到每个分期项目，期价，大陆仔就一直念“贵，贵，贵”。。。
於是，我终于忍不住就问，“（普通话）不好意思，请问，你是在什麽工作环境打工？文员？户外？” 那大陆仔回答他在酒店当厨师，平时工作不能戴錶。等我问到他预算时。。。我同经理两人简直难信到四眼对望。800坡币（大约4500港元）！！！戴好嘢！！？简直是不可能的！！！
身为錶铺经理，不可能直接对客户勉强微笑的。。。任何客户都会误解店员笑他“無知，愚笨”吧！
於是我就出声，
“老哥，不好意思，最便宜的泰豪雅在本地的价格，就算打了折扣，也不会少過坡币一千的。”
“每个人想要買隻好錶。你要買隻周边人都认得出，叫得出的名牌，预算就要提高。。。因为你要買的，是“名牌”。”
先撇开身份不談。講下一般人，没有一定目标，没有一定预算，走入錶铺，被錶铺里不同品牌，不同款式，不同价格，乱了自己的目标，因此就产生了不同的矛盾与纠结。
大家是否有用心回想，你们都有经过这样的買錶过程矛盾与纠结“三部曲”？
1. 品牌与预算
2. 款式与设计
3. 功能与机芯类别
(以下英语部分取自估狗翻译，再自己做修改。。。 是否能叫您理解，就看反应了。。。)

Long time no write essays express myself saw, they can not make comments fortune to buy a table. . .
A few hours ago I went to watch the last few months have been patronizing the shop, where to find the shop manager talk on watch, get news.
After approximately 15 minutes, there is a mainlander come into the shop, look at the most affordable Tissot, until the store's most expensive "TUDOR", almost 12 large and small store brand, at least by the salesman take out two watch from 6 brands to the table to be seen, to touch. . . . . After half an hour, she did not get the mainlander to choose the desired final one. Shop manager saw that the mainlander is still no clue, to help the girl that took half an hour and cannot call mainlander for revealed a trace of "interested" expression to saleswoman.
U thought the manager can make mainlander lift a purse ~~~?
Ha ~~~ wrong!
Manager greet the mainlander to use the generic "Chinese people can only name brand" and "mind tactics." . .
really. . . successful make mainlander caused little "interested" expression. . . mainlander asking how he can only buy in installments, for "Tag Hauer." Managers then proposed a different instament paying, the numbers, to mainlander to make choices. Each mention of phased instament, price, mainlander keep saying "expensive, expensive, expensive." . .
So, I finally asked, "(Mandarin) Excuse me, what kind of work environment you are working in? Clerks? Outdoors?" Then he answered in the hotel as a cook, usually cannot work wearing a watch.
When I asked him to budget, Manager and I hard believe. S $ 800 (about HK $ 4500)! ! ! "Wear good"! ! ? It was impossible! ! !
As a shop manager, no directly to customers barely smiling. . . Any customer will misunderstanding clerk laugh at him "ignorant, stupid" it!
So I say,
"My brother, I am sorry, the cheapest price in the local market Tag Hauer, even if compromised, no less than a thousand dolar."
"Everyone wants to have to buy a good watch, same with you want to buy just the surrounding people recognize, come to call the brand, the budget have need increase ... because you are buying is the" brand name. ""
Don't care any identity and ablelity. Generally speaking people, with no fixed target, no fixed budget, walk into the watch shop, the watch shop to sell in many brand, many style, many prices, blur up their goals, creating conflict with decision(?) tangled.
I thinking, have you go through the process of shopping with tangled contradiction "Trilogy"?
1. Brand and Budget
2. Style and Design
3. Feature category with the movement

I probably can't pull it off.
Yep, agree. Its quite notorious that service industry here definitely needs some improvement. The neighbouring countries one are much better.

Wow, I have been posting rubbish all this while, if i sound like a guru, you must have been taking watch advice from the coffeeshop aunties, eh wait i know the aunties have better taste...
the RW seems to be a womens watch, didn't know you are into ladies stuff, but i wont judge.
and your retorts are getting stale, i'll get my K1 nephew to argue with you next time.
Dont need more FB pics, that yellow RW is enough to curdle my blood
