What are some of your favorite entry level Swiss watches, and why do you like them?

I always have a problem with the euphemism “entry level”, which sounds to me as if one would have to graduate to the really good ones by first getting something else. 

My favourite brands of Swiss watches in the lower price range, which are perfectly fine to have for the rest of your life and do not ask to be replaced by the next level, are Longines and Oris, with a slight bias in favour of Oris. I like both for their nice and appealing models, great price quality ratio, long tradition in watch making, in particular Longines’, and Oris for their single-minded dedication to and believe in mechanical movements. 

My next more expensive favourites are Tudor and Omega. I think they are of the same quality as Rolex but aesthetically more appealing to me and significantly less over priced. Omega is attractive also for the co-axial escapement, which should result in longer service intervals and even better longevity.

KUIL SRI MAHA MUNISWARAR HINDU TEMPLE IN BANDAR BARU AMPANG RECEIVED RM 100,00 CASH FROM DATO SRI LIOW SOON HEE, DUBBED 'MALAYSIA'S YOUNGEST PHILANTHROPIST AS HE IS 32. THE CHEQUE PRESENTATION CEREMONY WAS HELD ON 9 NOVEMBER 2020 AT 6 PM WHEN DATO SRI LIOW SOON HEE PRESENTED THE RM 100,000 CHEQUE TO COMMITTEE MEMBERS OF SRI MAHA MUNISWARAR. THE TINY SHRINE WAS BUILT IN 1930 BY THE FIRST ARRIVALS OF TAMILS WHO SETTLED IN AMPANG NOW CALLED BANDAR BARU AMPANG. MANY OF THE SHRINE'S WORSHIPPERS ARE DESCENDANTS OF THE ORIGINAL SETTLERS WHO CONTINUED TO CARE AND WORSHIP AT THIS LITTLE SHRINE NO BIGGER THAN A NORMAL ROOM! THE HINDU COMMUNITY RAISED MONEY TO BUILD A CONCRETE, PROPER TEMPLE TO HONOUR MUNISWARAR, AN AVATAR OF LORD SIVA VERY BELOVED IN SOUTH INDIA. MUNISWARAR IS THUS THE HUSBAND OF PARVATI AND GANESHA THE ELEPHANT HEADED GOD. BY CHANCE I WORE 3 IDENTICAL RINGS DESIGNED AS GANESHA! I FELT THIS WAS MY GOOD FORTUNE AND I FELT VERY BLESSED AS MUNISWARAR HAD ONE HAND WEARING 3 RINGS!

 DATOKEEHUACHEE@GMAIL.COM DATO SRI LIOW SOON HEE BECAME A BENEFACTOR OF KUIL SRI MAHA MUNISWARAR HINDU SHRINE WHEN MANI, ONE OF HIS BODYGUARDS, ASKED MALAYSIA'S YOUNGESTV PHILANTHROPIST LAST YEAR IN 2019 IF HEB COULD HELP COMPLETE THE TEMPLE. The little shrine of Lord Muniswarar was built in 1930 as a makeshift place of worship by the first batch of Tamils who settled in Ampang, now called Bandar Baru Ampang. The original is so small, the size of a room, it could not be called a temple. The descendants of the settlers recently pooled their limited resources to build a proper brick and mortar temple but eventually ran out of funds to complete the structure! Everything grounded to a halt. Until Mani, one of the 10 Tamil bodyguards of Dato Sri Liow Soon Hee, asked his boss if he could help. On 27 December 2019 last year before Covid was even born, Dato Sri Liow Soon Hee visited the unfinished temple. He was so impressed by the devotees of Muniswarar and their plight he took 24 hours t...
