The Watch Thread - Part 16

[rboyboy]

What do u guys think of paying money for non-essential like another watch during this recession? Thinking hard whether to part money for a Seiko Presage for $1,500.....

I personally wouldnt pay so much for a Seiko Presage but that's just me.
You can consider the cocktail variations which are cheaper.

Hi guys, not sure if this is the correct place to post this but I'm thinking of getting a Rolex Datejust 36, Oystersteel and yellow gold, fluted bezel, gold dial which costs around $15k.

After researching on some forums, I read that it is possible to ask for a discount from the ADs and couple it with mall vouchers (at a 5 - 8% discounted rate from carousell) to get the watch at the best price.

However, the several ADs I have checked with have only offered a 5% discount at most, which is rather different from the discount range mentioned in forums (around 10% - 25%). Would like to check with you guys if a 5% discount is a reasonable rate currently or is it possible to ask for more? Would appreciate any advice on negotiating the price or other tips to get the watch at a lower rate please. Thanks!

I bought my TT DJ 3 yrs back at 19% discount local AD. Not sure if times have changed

“To break the rules, you must first master them.” Tradition and avant-garde are inextricably intertwined at Audemars Piguet.

Will skip the dateless watch for now...

Recently visited a couple of ADs and Boutiques looking for my first luxury watch.

Am deciding between the Omega Speedmaster or Seamaster. Any tips

Cheers

Multibrand = Hour glass, sincere, cortina...etc

 

[i_got_a_question_to_ask]

Looking at Black Bay 41 instead. Simplicity

Hmm, thanks. I was strongly considering that with the ceramic dial.
