help me choose a watch please :)
ok so I'm going to be buying myself a watch, I've done hours and hours of research and have narrowed it down to these:
From Raymond Weil: http://www.overclockers.com.au/pix/i...image&id=ci0rr From Oris: 1. http://www.overclockers.com.au/pix/i...image&id=jwugx 2. http://www.overclockers.com.au/pix/i...image&id=0v8bs 3 http://www.overclockers.com.au/pix/i...image&id=fwe6p From Longines: http://www.overclockers.com.au/pix/i...image&id=z4wgj Things I am considers: looks obviously and also "brand prestige". What do you guys think of RW Vs Oris Vs Longines? Cheers |

Oris makes nice and durable pieces. Out of the choices you indicated, I would vote for the Longines. Looks very classy.

Have you checked out the Longines Masterpiece Annual Calendar Moonphase Chronograph? It's about the same price as the one you listed, but is much more complicated and almost a steal for a watch with that many complications.
