Mido ත් හොදයි. මේ region එකේ වැඩිය ප්‍රසිද්ධ නැති වුණාට සුපිරි build quality එකක් තියෙන swiss watch බ්‍රෑන්ඩ් එකක්.
swatch group එකටමයි අයිති.

Chatham එකෙන් ද බැලුවේ?
Aqua Terra එකට agent කීයක් quote කරාද final price එක විදියට?
2020 ඉඳන් rolex over the retail price second hand market එකේ විකිනුනේ. Agent ලාත් හොරෙන් එහෙම විකිණුවා.
දැන් නම් බහිනවා second hand prices.
ඒක නිසා දැන් agent ලත් flip කරනවා අඩුයි.
Stock ei ළඟදීම.
2019 තිබ්බා prices වලටම අඩු වෙයි කියලා තමයි predict කරන්නේ.

Mama lankawe nemei inne machan.. Aqua Terra is about 8500 AUD.

Yes, Rolex market went crazy after Covid. It's mostly hype really. They are not worth double the retail prices, unless for special editions like certain Daytonas. I will only buy one at retail price if i can find, if not, will wait. Hopefully there will be plenty of deals by next year due to global financial crisis.

You have any interesting watches other than the Mido? Mama ahala thiyena brand ekak, haven't seen one in person.

Ah.. lucky you...
Yes . Non rare luxury watches will definitely go down further.

Mido has strong hold in Latin America and china. For example in Mexico 70% - 75% watches sale on sub 1000usd category are midos.

Next year looking to jump on 1500usd range. looking to add Oris or a Ball watch or a longines to the collection.
Mostly Oris aquis or ball engineer marvelight
Or a longines texudo or spirit 36mm.
Or it may be a Tudor 1926

More than 2000usd category is out of reach yet.

Ah nice! Didn't know about the Midos story.

I think the $750 - $2000 range is where the best value is. Around 5k is kind of a strange segment where is they are not really the high end but not the low end either. I like Tudor best in this segment. Black Bay 58 is a bomb!

I actually want to try out a Ball Engineer Marvelight simply due the crazy lume on it. No proper authorised dealer here, There's one dealer with some stock but haven't had a chance to check them out.

Oris Aquis is a great range with their own calibre. Built like little tanks. Longines is also one if the best in the price range. Conquest VHP is one of my favourites.Then there's the German brand Sinn which I like (love the simplicity of some of their designs). Hamilton is also great, will definitely add a Khaki to the collection soon. Been also looking at Frederique Constant, they mostly do dress watches but.

Brands like Rado, Tissot, Tag Heuer don't really resonate with me personally. Don't really like most of the designs.

Hmm you have a point here on pricing...
Ball is using tritium tubes as lume for all of their watches. So their lume is never fades.
I think it glows for 10years .

I think you are talking about Oris calibre 400.
Lovely movement.but it is above 2000usd.
My budget only has a the regular sellita based one. The one with red winding roter.

Conquests are nice. But it has long lugs so it is appearing bigger on wrist.
Same for the Hamilton khaki.
I have a small wrist. 6'2 inch wrist.
I was looked for khaki automatic 38mm. But when I actually tried it in shop. That appeared huge on me.
Hamiltons are normally having long lugs. That's the reason.
Frederique constant watches are great
Frederique constant highlife cosc is my favourite on their range.
I have some mixed feelings on Sinn.
I love the bracelet of Sinn 556 and that's all.
Nomos club campus 36mm will be a far better option if I were you.

For Rado.Tissot I have mixed feelings.
Rado captain cook is nice.others are meh looking
Tissot designs are like hit or a miss. But at least they are affordable.
I don't like tag Heuer too.
Most of their range is Overpriced.

seiko automatic eka kohmada?

Seiko ලංකාවට එන automatic movement 3ක් තියනවා.
3ම full solid භාණ්ඩ.
7s26
පරණ movement එකක්.
Non hacking - time eka ajust කරද්දි second hand එක නවතින්නේ නෑ.

Non handwind - watch crown එකෙන් wind කරන්න බෑ
40hr power reserve
මේක එන්නේ entry level seiko 5 වොච් වලට.

4r series eka
4r35/4r36
Hacking
Handwind puluwan
40hrs power reserve එක
4r35 - date only
4r36 -=day date දෙකම තියෙනවා
Mid range seiko වලට මේ movement එක තියෙන්නේ

6r series eka
6r15/6r35
Hacking
Handwind puluwan
6r15-50hrs power reserve එක
6r35 -70hr power reserve eka

මේක එන්නේ grandseiko නොවන ඊට ලෙවෙල් එකක් පහළ හැබැයි high end වෙන watch වලට( sub 1000usd range එකට.)

ඒ වගේම seiko ලගේ model name එකෙන් හදපු country එක කියන්න පුළුවන්.
Model එකේ last letter එක k නම් made in malayasia
SNZG71K1
Last letter එක j නම් made in japan
SPB077J1

Country code මුකුත් නැති එකකුත් තියෙනවා. සමහරු කියනවා country code නැති එක first time quality control ෆේල් වෙච්ච මොඩල් එක කියලා. එක ෂුවර් නෑ

තව JDM only modal එකකුත් තියෙනවා. ඒව local market එකේ හොයන්න අමාරුයි. එකේ build quality හොඳයි ලු.එක නිසා ඩිමාන්ඩ් එකත් වැඩී .

සමහර වෙලාවට එකම watch model එකට
J version , k version, no country, Jdm only version 4ma තියෙනවා.
