smurf is only for blue sub on white gold

was chatting with my usual SA, she said not many ppl used the 40mths instalments also. more eyeballs, more deals on her side though.

I like such long instalment plans. 0% somemore. But there is a prerequisite: I must have the money in cash of what I want to buy. Then I park it in my investments and then take the instalments. Even parking it in fixed deposit is better than paying upfront full cash for my cash. The opportunity costs is what I look at.

same thing for my car - have the full cash, park it somewhere, and take some loan.

MAS internally is actually squeezing the banks on some of the lending stuff.

So in order to use the 40month to buy a Rollie.
This person would probably have to be in the 70-80k per annum bracket.

And to be honest if i am in this bracket of pple , dun think i will take 40 months.

The T&Cs require income n credit check before eligible for 40mth plan? I thought so long u got the card can alrd. Then it's quite troublesome..

THG main business is not selling watches but property. Selling watches is only secondary..........................

 

[Jeremy1]

I will go for AP RO.
Unless you compare this AP eith black sub...I will go for black sub

Same as me. Just wanted to be low profile..........................

 

[kiwitan]

Suggest u look at China made watches with good reputation.
Google seagull.
Molest the watches at seagull counter operating out of jaben 01-09 adelphi but get the watch from Internet at a much cheaper price.
Ebay trusthonestman.

same here korkor. i make sure i have the spare cash to buy first, but i will hoot using installment and park the cash elsewhere. it's 0% interest afterall.....

anyway, 40mth is really too long la. the most i go is 24mth....just curious if there are those who realli took up 40mth..

40mths is really crazy. how to tahan 2 years without buying a new watch for all the watch crazy ppl like us?

but i think it will spur those impulsive buyers to hoot......

Watches for PR purpose..........................

Let say if u buy a $50K watch using 40 months instalment plan. That's mean every month just deduct $1250 which u will not feel the pain as compared to suddenly 1 lump sum of money deducted from the account, that's really heart very pain........................

But buy only if u have the money in hand.....................

I think it's good for us peasant to afford a luxury high end watch...........................
