eventually you want something different, something more... that's where u fall. :s13:

Asked b4 but never seen him post his full collection. Maybe for him its kinda better not to draw unwanted attention and better kept under wraps in his security deposit box / safe

because.....it keeps expanding.

Hmm I don't have an end-game watch and I can't afford 6-figure priced watches comfortably....

But as of now, I think I'm going to be fine once I get my:

1. 15400 Blue dial
2. Grand Lange 1 Platinum (I like the larger dial of 41.9mm)
3. VC Overseas (exact one to be decided)

Total gonna set me back around 75k more or less.

After completing this main collection of my PP, AP, ALS and VC, maybe I'll start to consider other watchmakers for different complications.

Right now I really controlling myself cos the IWC worldtimer chrono which I like is on carousell for 10k. Lun ah lun!

The 15400 next year is more or less confirmed. I think the "end game" should be ALS for me... but never really end one la lol

The softness of precious metal (i.e. only for special event watch) and cost of servicing those high end complications ( above chrono) is a hurdle I can't and will never overcome. I think thats a barrier for many .

When one is at that level the watches are really just "collections", not for much wearing.

lol, i think for some of us, we have enough watches to cycle for the 20 working days.

hey, its like how women have numerous shoes/clothing combos.
except ours have better value retention (something I tell myself/wife)

They no stock for white gold I tried the platinum instead. Lange 1 not G.Lange 1 though.

You like the weight or?

+1 he might be thinking HK grey prices are more competitive or possibly HK grey dealers have better inventory of the more desirable pieces..

If not for either 2 reasons then no point. Buy HK grey still have to worry about GST from customs check etc when you return. Buy from SG grey already net of GST risk.

Pardon my ignorance...

I just did a random check on Chrono24 on the piece i am looking for....

http://www.chrono24.sg/iwc/pilot-black-automatic-chronograph-iw377709--id5366552.htm

I checked for the same piece from a SG grey and he is selling at $5.8k. So I was under the impression that buying from HK would be cheaper...even after taking into account GST...
