Hi guys,
I'm bored of my Daniel Wellington watch so looking for recommendations for a new one:

  • Around 40-42mm diameter
  • Leather band
  • Chrono style
  • Elegant and luxury look
  • Not too bulky
  • Sapphire glass is preferred
  • Illuminated hand is preferred
  • Budget up to $600

I've been looking at a few brands:
Vincero: cheap, nice look, not sure about quality, not sapphire glass

Triwa: ok price, nice look, not sure about quality, not sure if they use sapphire glass or not

MVMT: nice look, cheap build and quality (already say no to this brand)

Simple Watch Co: nice and minimal look, sapphire glass, not sure about quality

Tissot: nice look, a bit high price but still affordable, sapphire glass, however no illuminated hands and there are a lot of FAKE Tissot ones on the market
I do like this onethough.

If you guys have any experience please share with me with some recommendations. Thanks

      Thanks for the recommendation but it looks a bit bulky to me, not really my style.

    I love Steinhart watches. Worth taking a look.

      Thanks, I like the style, however the price is over my budget… Very nice watch though

    Melbourne Watch Company

    • anthonyng19 on 16/03/2018 - 15:45

      Thanks for your recommendation. I had a look at their website and read some reviews. Love the "Portsea" collection. The price is a bit high but I guess that's what you have to pay for a decent watch.
      Have you ever bought from them and what's your experience?

      • apple2016 on 16/03/2018 - 21:48

        Yes I own a Portsea. If you are in Melbourne you can visit their showroom. Usually once a year the have about 25% off on preorders etc. if you can wait it’s a healthy $200 off.

        • na8an on 17/03/2018 - 23:10

          Do you when they happen, I'm keen on portsea or a Carlton collection, if you happen to have any code that would be awesome 🤓

        • apple2016 on 17/03/2018 - 23:30

          @na8an: I do not know when they happen. You could subscribe to their mailing list or follow them on facebook.

        • na8an on 18/03/2018 - 02:11

          @apple2016: thanks mate, I'll sign up.

    Goodbye, Anthonyng19.

  • altomic on 16/03/2018 - 15:57

    Why not jump on aliexpress and have a look there?

    • anthonyng19 on 16/03/2018 - 16:01

      So scared about quality there, although I know some of the big brands actually use Chinese manufacture…

      • altomic on 16/03/2018 - 16:30

        have a look at various watches and then check the feedback left for those watches. buyers frequently leave photos with their feedback.

    keep saving and spend you money on at least a Grand Seiko which is still a Japanese movement.

    Middle range Seikos are good value, IMO.
    I have two Turtles, a bit bulky perhaps but well made and good looks.

    Hi guys,
    Thanks all for your recommendations. After reading tons of review/videos I decided to buy a Tissot Visodate from Jomashop.
    The watch came yesterday and I swap a new leather band to it (cause I don't like the butterfly clasp).
    Here's the picture of the watch. It's actually more beautiful in real life.
