DXMachina bro...

It's amazing what you find when you go through someone's history:

Flip from $500 to $650. Lol.

Sigh..cyrenic bro I still a bit heartache from trading away the Legacy, but oh well, what's done is done.

Might look at reacquiring it in future, will see lol

Isn't bright time the shop that was scammed by some foreigners? Was on the news recently

actually if you read that news again, the more scary shops is the other 2 shops. the scammers sold to 4 shops, only 2 (which was mentioned in the news) discover it was fake. the other 2 shops that the news did not mentioned did not discover until the police investigation

the other 2 unknown shops more scary

Can any customers who have bought watches from gnomon watches care to comment on the customer care and experience on purchasing watches from gnomon.

I am thinking of getting a steinhart watch from them.

very pleasant & easy-going people. knowledgeable. bought my steinhart from them when they were still at Shaw Tower

Bring your watch to the watch manufactuer for servicing quote or verification is better then bring it to the shop. Spend abit rather then loss big big!

Bro student here please let me know your best price

I goldman luxury and lowball you $2.2k for black bay in house. Do people really sell at that price to the shops? Siao. Just ask for fun lol.

Quite shocked that a reputable shop will take such an enormous margin.

Sharing what I think is nice

normally omega, rolex, tag heuer should be quite safe with preowned shop. its those "cold door" brand like chopard , cartier that I think the shops are also not expert and may need time to check.

But if bright time can discover on its own and make police report. I think they are still ok ..

I deal with them before (bencoolen) and will not hesitate to go back

 

[reikizi]

reading the fake watches news again

"The duo faced four charges in total, of which two were proceeded with. The remaining two, taken into consideration during sentencing, involved shops in People’s Park Complex and The Bencoolen."

only stated HRC and BT made police reports. I'll be more careful with ones that the news did not mention ..

i have not bought anything from them before
but i've visited their shop numerous times, positive experience. friendly and comfortable shop

I really miss my Pelagos haha. Especially the lume. Thinking of LHD for the future.

I'm thinking that pure white is better than cream.. at least for such a stoic watch.

Not sure if I should switch to in house movement.

But the incomplete lume set and extra lines, don't know why all these watch companies always make negative tweaks while improving on other things?

Maybe to fan the "collect em all" spirit in the more serious fans?

The one I am most wary is located in lucky Plaza... Ever wondered why rsc stopped doing verification? All thanks to it....
