Don’t ask a watch guy how many watches he has. Hehehehe

Same.. Currently 5 watches na lang.. Lalo na yung automatic, di na ako nag keep ng ganun masisira lang sakin kung di ko naman madalas gamitin.. nag keep na lang ako ng depende sa occasion at situation.. life style na din, wala na ako sa working environment na need ng formal or strict office attire.. hirap mag maintain tapos di ko naman gagamitin lagi sayang naman..
Pero I do appreciate watches tapos natutuwa ako kapag may nag share about his/her watch.. I always fascinated on how they see it and appreciate the craftsmanship behind every designs.. [emoji4]

Planning to buy a new watch, budget at around $1300 / PHP 70,000 max. Will be asking relatives to buy it abroad since the retail markup here in the Philippines is crazy.
I'm choosing between the following watches:
1. Longines Hydroconquest 41mm (L3730.4.56.5)
Automatic
Black dial
$1,275
2. Tag Heuer Formila 1 41mm (WAZ1112.BA0875)
Quartz
Black dial
$1,300
Leaning towards the Longines, since I'm hoping to get an automatic at this price range, but I'm more familiar with Tag since my dad is a huge fan. However, I've read that a lot of watch connoisseurs don't really consider Tag to be a very respectable brand (correct me if I'm wrong though). Given the steep cost, which one would keep its value longer and would get more nods of approval from watch collectors?
This will be my first foray into fancy watches, and I'm definitely no expert on this subject matter yet. But I'm planning to keep this for a long time and maybe even pass it on as a future family heirloom.
Not really open to buying anything pre-owned, so please avoid suggesting that route. No Rolexes and Omegas for now too, since di pa kaya ng bulsa! Hehe.
