Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Only the super rich can afford this. Other people would find that money more useful for fuel for their car
r u sure bout that bro?students nowadays easily can afford iPhone that costs thousands, this piece of timepiece is rm2400..its quite reasonable since its th limited edition
Those really super rich don’t even bother to look at this type / kind of price watches
agreed wit u bro…not need to be super rich for rm2400 watch…
It all lies in a person.Preference and Budget.
To me a SWATCH will do fine.
i rather get myself a Michael shoemaker Limited edition of military grade G-Shock extreme lolz…
rm2k for a watch is nothing for students nowadays, since they can afford cars like rx8, 350z, civic etc etc….
yeah..rite, afford luxury cars with their parents’ money.
Be realistic, we are not born from rish families. SO move on!~
below 2.8k aint for super rich. in fact it may be considered cheap for some since it’s a limited edition. luxury watches easily cost from 3k + up to 100k +
guess only tissot fans or the racer’s fans will buy.
Ur Kidding right, Tissot made the most cheapest swiss made watches in the world
Unlike other that just put in ETA engine & mark up their price.
I love car & timepieces
i wanna get 1 too !!!!
Tissot is da most economical n more durable swissmade u can in malaysia BRO..
Swatch is even cheaper what, swiss made, so what
Swatch have more plastic than high grade Stainless Steel
also…dont forget Victorinox brand….still consider cheap…..otherwise…you can buy other imitation luxury watch brand in petaling street or pasar malam…
Can someone confirm Tissot is 100% made by Swiss or now owned and made in China, Their official Website is tissot.cn, same like Mido.ch. I lost my confident on China made products. Yes China made are cheap.
.ch is the country code for Switzerland, .cn is China
what timepieces or watch brands u currently own?
Sometimes its not the worth of your watch, but the worth of your time…
I’d prefer Tag Heuer,though.rather than Tissot,a low-end Cerruti is better.
To the guy who claimed ths for the super rich,my,my..u sure knw ntg abt timepieces.
tissot is pretty cheap brand especially in europe, seiko’s velatura beat it any times!
Tag Heuer is over price, with the same quality, rather go for BALL !
i love the Ball micro gas tubes , one of its kind! its self luminates for 25 years! gosh!! so bring while in the dark~~
but the design i still like Maurice Larcroix~
apple to apple comparasion, Tissot can only compare to Seiko’s medium end watches, swiss army and hamilton etc,
a watch with rubber bracelet that cost 2.7k!..its not even a stainless steel!…wowweeee
yes! and not even automatic!
if got VR46 edition watch, i might consider buying it. VR46 is the best!
perhaps, casio can make VR46 edition watch since VR46 is under yamaha=japan
can be cheaper too… hehe…
Tissot and Oris are two reasonably priced fine Swiss watches. I remember Brietling used to be reasonably priced too but then the value keep appreciating over the years. I hope Tissot and Oris can do the same too.
By the way Paul, is it appropriate to post news on car hi-fi systems in this blog?
tissot is not in the same class wif Oris & breittling la!
only super rich?haha…OKAY….
Maybe it’s Nicky. If they put Rossi’s name there, I bet the price will be doubled. >_<
there is a catch. The battery last 2 years and cost RM380 to replace. can only be replace in KUL HQ near the weld.
Are u sure the battery cost 300 bucks? My Moto GP Tissot V8 cos RM 20 to replace. Where u heard 300 just for battery? Even mechanical watch service also not that expensive
berdasarkan komen diatas-atas,
nampak sgt ada yang salah guna duit semasa belajar.
i want the Red Bull Racing Formula 1 watch from CASIO….
Tissot is the official time keeper at 2010 commonwealth games
Nolah…..very affordable
My Omega costs 17k
my G-shock oledi cost 24K…
U got that right.. Hero of virtual world!
which model is your Omega?
love the MotoGP Limited Edition watch that even comes with authentic MotoGP motorbike grip……hahahaha……that’s really funny but somewhat cool as well!
Rich or not rich is irrelevant.
It is the attitude and priority towards life.
Nice looking watch.
Affordibility? Most people can….
Buying? Not when I have yet to achieve my financial freedom.
BS lar…. RM300 for batt?? limited edition price izzit?
I service and overhaul my TAG oso cost only RM200
tissot for super rich? wait until u see vercheron, panerai, B&R….
super rich dun wear a watch… time keeping for what? lolz
Those bloody mat/minah rempit will like this.Buy fake one also can show off.Any one of us?
hahaha, I really have no idea they were call minah rempit. made me laugh.
mayb one day like car industry where they share technoogies (eg, VW) tissot can borrow technology from its sisters brand under swatch (eg AP, breitor or Omega).
they can borrow technological know how under the Swatch Group stable of brands but because of product differentiation, Tissot remains Tissot, right behind Rado, Longines, another good brand.
no matter how expensive, these watch still gives u 24 hours. what i need is more time ….
looks nice. i like~
this watch is for collector….given the price, i think seiko is much better in term of quaity and design
RM 2400 is nothing lah for a watch.Its like a few cents for the rich.
Rich ppl dont buy this “LOW CLASS” watches aka TISSOT,TAG Heuer,RADO and so on.
The rich buy watches that cost at least 6 figures and above =)
Its common perception that watches from Switzerland is the best. there are easily over 500 watch brands from switzerland, many we have never even heard of (and can’t even spell and pronounce correctly). Price is about marketing someone’s perception on quality and brand. Why a watch is more expensive than others is NOT that the quality is far more superior – its that people THINK it is far more superior, hence, ready to fork x amount of money on timepieces.
If you want to find out what the super rich are wearing now, check out this brand – Richard Mille. Nadal wore it when he won the French, Wimbledon and US Open this year. It (model RM 027 Tourbillon) costs USD$525k. Yes, its USD525K. Heck, even the replica/fake models costs RM300++!
Now boys, you can thank me for giving you a lesson on luxury watches.
interesting paul now incorporate watches in this forum. You are right super rich dont look at Tissot not because its is a lousy brand but because this particular watch is a quartz. Watch collectors mostly will only buy mechanical watches ie. Hand-wind or automatic. Tissot is a good swiss brands with more than 150 years of history and some of its notable models, automatic ones are Visodate, Heritage and those from Heritage Collection. Classic looking Tissot are very appealing. If u like quartz Tissot, go but the T-Touch. To me the most reliable and affordable quartz watches are CASION G-Shocks. dont buy Seiko unless its Grand Seiko which cost at least above rm10k. I bought a seiko Sport 5 automatic watch for my younger bro at rm500 bucks, and after 3 months, the mechanical movement went faulty and the minute marker fell off. Bad luck i guess.The most expensive watch i had seen through Auctions are an old Patek Philippe which cost rm7 million. There are sites which you guys if interested can visit, such as Antiquorum, Patrizzi&Co, Christies, Sothebys, etc. Nearer to home, u can visit Singaporean used watch dealers such as Passions, Visiotime, Hobbylink, Heirloom, etc. I believe both Swiss and Japanese make good watches. japan on for Grand Seiko. Swiss are watch experts and the whole surroundings of Switzerland is most suitable in producing quality watches. U do not need to be super rich to own swiss watches. Spend within your means. There are quality brands for less than RM10K such as IWC Mark XVI, Omega Seamaster or Planet Ocean, Fortis, Breitling Colt series, ORIS, Tag Heuer Carreras, u have many quality swiss watches. The super rich pays top dollar for AP Royal Oak Offshores, Pateks, Rolexes, Independent brands, UN Freak, Tag Monaco V4, Blancpain, Breguets, and others. Watch collecting is a hobby just like car. Imagine driving luxury cars versus affordable Japanese Honda, toyota and Nissans. Same concept. Swiss meachanical watches are engineering marvels. They are expensive because a lot of money is spent on R&D, materials and advertising only play a small role in costing. If u like cars u can also like watches. Rolex produce close to 1,000,000 units of watches every year, the largest producer in Swiss and their watches sell like hot cakes and they are in existence for slightly over 100 years. Rolex is like the favourite King of a country. Everybody wants one especially their Explorer I, II, Gmt Masters, Milgauss, Daytonas and their Submariners. I have a friend who bought an AP Royal Oak Offshore T3 for rm50k about 8 years ago. He is a happy man now cos this watch now cost rm100k at least in the secondary market. Sorry for such long commet. Surf the net to learn more on mechanical watches if u r interested. Another site for you view watches are Watchprosite.com and Timezone. When u are in the office or see your friends, check our the watches of your colleagues. Its interesting. The same Rolex now is 20% more expensive compared to 2 years ago. Enough talking… Feel free to feedback if u want to know more about watches… I a, just sharing out of my liking for watches… Cheers..
how about Seiko Springdrive series? they are not bad rite? btw seiko coming out with a quartz watch cost around rm 10k, what your thought on that?
Kwing, seiko spricngdrive is a techonological innovation, incorporating both quartz and mechanical movement. Excellent movement made up of hundreds of parts but imo, it should be either quartz or mechanical and shud not mix both. Not pure enough imo. They have already released the Seiko Astron i think its called, it will cost around rm17k if i am not mistaken and again this is a special quartz developed by seiko itself. Not bad. I am not a big fan of seiko thus my opinion maybe bias. This watch is a reissue from 1970s. U can go to watchprosite.com and view it under HorologicalMeandering. Someone already showcased it there. Being a super quartz, it is also super accurate. For rm 17k, i would advise u to but swiss watches. U have many choices depending what kind u are looking for. Even if with budget of rm10k, u can buy 2 good swiss watches, Longines Legend Diver and one Breitling Colt. Mechanical watches are different from quartz. It is more emotional. Study the mechanics and egineering inside. U will like it.
thanks for the info, do you have any good websites to buy 2nd hand watches? esp US site?
US sites, i can only think of www.robertmaran.com, i know a lot of Singapore’s site, such www.passions.com.sg, www.visiotime.com. Go visit www.watchprosite.com and learn a lot there. IMO u should buy the re-issue Longines Legend Diver, the one without date. u will love it, no regrets. It is an exact replica of a vintage Longines Legend Divers watch issued back in the 50s. USD 1.8k.
Sometimes its not the worth of your watch, but the worth of your time from qoute..i think the watch its worth also, because we can show passionate through workhard to purchase that watch.
