Personally I waited out 7 years before I bought a watch this Eid, last one I owned was given by a friend a Seiko flight rule chrono that I destroyed in a fight. I waited out because I wanted a certain look and I wanted one that was not a replica and also because my finances never seemed in order. So I went out and bought a edifice and I spent ages in Saddar to get exactly what I wanted at a price no one could beat Rs. 5.4k!
Here's my pride and joy, she was bought keeping in mind my liking for a blue dialed prc200 and my love of small dials and retro looks that remind of a Omega Speedmaster! This model specifically is a very good speedmaster homage very much talked about in the watch forums internationally...it's available here cheaper than it's on Amazon.

no sir it's more to do with what you are comfortable with and also if your left handed or right handed or which hand is dominant.
