The Watch Thread - Part 3

[dmitri]

Wow, I really like the Chris Ward but unfortunately it's out of my budget... Do Singapore have the Steinhart Ocean 1? Is buying online cheaper?

Note that those prices include EC taxes. So you're really paying approx GBP 380 (assuming watch is non-GMT, no-COSC and on bracelet), excluding shipping and GST.

Gnomon Watches carry Steinhart watches, but buying online (direct from Steinhart) is slightly cheaper. The Ocean 1s can be preordered.

Alternatively, can consider the following for sale in SGROC:

Can any bro help check the current price (and discount) for a GO senator grande date in singapore?

Wondering if the price in Germany is attractive. EUR7400 before vat rebate.

PAM380 going for eur3700 before VAT, so it's mid SGD5k for a brand new piece.

First shop - just change the buckle. Cost around $600
Second shop - must change strap as well. Cost around $1000.

The only pin buckle watch I have now is my Timex. All others are deployment type. So I kind of equate pin buckle = old style/budget watch. But the Zenith is not budget.

Buy online!!

Bro, I bought the exact same piece for 630 from allwatches lucky plaza. The sales reps are quite open to negotiating. Look for the lady boss if you can.

Dude serious? This wed maybe can go hoot. You paid cash or? Ok will try to look for lady boss. How you nego sia?

I paid 300 cash 330 nets. You gotta "act" like you're on a really tight budget and stay firm on your offer. I initially quoted 600 but the sales rep didnt budge, he insisted 680 was the best he could do so I counter offered 630 until he got off his chair and asked the lady boss and she gave the green light.

Omega PO vs which Zenith model??
I have to say PO/seamaster/speedy are among the most versatile watches, you really can't go wrong with them.
Zenith watches tend to be dressier based on their recent collection, their striking 10th looks really good but not at your price point.

Just hope to get "value for $" if i'm spending this amt of $.
