Orient disk. Captivated by the colorful time telling disk.

does the hour hand change colour according to the hour markers?

arr ok thanks read about these 3 liao

but for AD, i wont expect much discount unless i am a regular right? max 10% for new customer?



lol jus realised GX is referring to you

omega boutique max is 8% discount...

alternatively, look for famous grey dealer loh...

one example is him:

Yup regular and brand dependent. As well as how VIP you are.

ADs tend to give you peace of mind. also asks for a piece of the premium pie. Will cost a bit more.

Grey dealers give you better price. But some feel no peace of mind. This one is up to your own interpretation. Can ask the seller whether he is willing to go through authentication process with you.

Boutiques gives little to no discounts.best for unique limited "boutique only" pieces. most expensive.

Flying to europe to buy is probably the best. but does it justify the airfare?

its better to have the right mentality and go into AD not expecting any discounts at all, even if you are a regular.

for ADs, they provide good aftersales service, especially if you detected something wrong with your watch within the 1st few days of purchase.

next is to read up about buying Omega Speedmaster Pro 311.30.42.30.01.005 from Grey dealers. understand things like:
1) What to look out for
2) how to spot real SMP from fake ones

Different brands got different % discounts. All controlled by the Brands distributor. Like Rolex they cant give above certain % else they lost their dealership. Some brands u save more while going Grey.... When i getting my patek , Grey price difference is only few hundreds and in the end my AD match the price of the grey. Yes i know the AD cause i got few watches from her and recommended few customers to her too. Another regular Bro also know her.. AD that taking a risk giving you discount could play with the receipt like only stated ROLEX WATCH and not the model of the watch. However this doesn't affect the warranty... just bring yr warranty card down.

If you can afford the few hundreds extra.. get yr first luxury watch from AD and enjoy the satkiness and service from the AD and slowly build the relationship..

wah sound like not really that legitimate leh grey dealer but cheaper by almost 25% comparing with retail price should be worth to get?

many bros here go for local ad huh?

btw what the full shop name of GX?

thanks for the advice bro

I think I am good example. Cause my dirty watch was featured recently lol

I think they conclude mine is authentic and yeah it's from grey.

My lovely Best Friend aka soiledwatch

In my case, the difference was like $4k. It was quite nice watching the grey dealer cut open the seal...

Had some good meals with the money saved!

Yrs is a superb price if i can get one at that price i would jump into it immediately.

 

[slow_mo]

does the hour hand change colour according to the hour markers?

The hour hand is in fact a cut out (sandwich) disc. It changes colour according to the background following the hour markers.

Here's my old photo. But sadly I sold it off due to low wrist time.
