The Watch Thread - Part 14

[Thai_Rak_Thai]

does anyone know if patek does verification? If so, where do i bring it to and how much?

i've never done it before, but i understand for a fee it is possible. But even if they can search their records - how do you verify the faker has not faked the certificate and serial number? Something to ponder also

that is true... they charge u and make u wait for 3 months...

although they do require u to take photos of the movements

Any advice on where to get a skx007 locally at reasonable price? Is Big time ok? Or got other shops with more reasonable price.

I got the seiko 5 from lazada recently. Cheaper than getting from physical stores.

I quickly search the model you want in lazada, this seems to be the cheapest. You can search the exact model you want on lazada.

If you have citi bank credit card, there is 12% discount cap at $20. Code is officialcitiup.

Downside from buying online is can't check on the defect that might be around such as misaligned minutes markers. You might need to adjust the size of the bracelet yourself or at a fee by others.

Nowadays with computerized records, they still need 84 days to verify a record?! Shouldn't they just computerized all their archives register?

Wow thanks so much for the help! appreciate it.

Btw, is it possible to find one with Japanese date wheel? As far as I've searched, mostly are in Arabic/English/Spanish language. The Japanese ones only can buy domestically in Japan?
