The Watch Thread - Part 10

[AyuReady]

Offer coffee maybe some bro will go with u hahah

Any tips on how to check? This is the first watch I'm paying myself. Still a noob

This jw shop sets up barrier outside their shop to indicate where a queue starts?

human barrier lines

Actually i dont think the Qs get v long, just that they start early (gx probably setting the benchmark).

They only have that many highly sought after pieces at 1 time n u can be sure everyone in Q are more or less eyeing the same pieces. So if u are not amongst the 1st few, no point to Q le.

Ok thks. Tot i saw it at bencoolen recently. So wanna see if the correct watch or not.

Probably different. I went to bencoolen also cannot find last year Haha
Discon in 2008 or 9. Same time as spork release iirc

Ya the rest queue for servicing watch. If you're first. You can choose to buy all if you want.

wonder if one day will have someone going there and disregarding the queue telling the owners he want the watch and willing to pay more. what will happen?

I think basic business ethics 101 need to apply. If seller who accepts that on Carousell already will be considered inappropriate, let alone an actual shop. They have a reputation to maintain.

Or else maybe JW next time should add in their website pricing "$xxxx or best price"

That will be more of a bidding system. Doesn't really work in a shop.

Haha good idea! Now to find a one

 

[AyuReady]

Think u can buy turtle and sell away seiko 5 eventually as a form of upgrade.

Better movement and WR in turtle I think

The irony, per my earlier post. Yes, have no doubt that they earn..

My hearsay is average pre-own shop typical margin is 30%. Duno how true.

Bluebird care to chip in? Now only focused on rolex thread le

Normally for pre owned Rolex sport model, I try to earn 10%.. Sometimes 5-8% also let go Liao. Datejust all those more margin.

that is true.

JW say first come first served at the shop physically.

call also no use.

unless you call and no one in the queue
