The Watch Thread - Part 14

[Proximus]

I serviced two APs earlier in the year, one under warranty (mine), and the other was paid (my wife's).

This is the cost breakdown for a two hand movement (cal 2150):

Did you send it directly to the service centre or thru the AP boutique?

Did you send it directly to the service centre or thru the AP boutique?

Would that make any difference? Or through AD for that matter.

Asking as genuine question and not a rhetorical statement.

Guys,

Rolex Daytona black face half gold or AP 15400ST Silver face?

Considering I am also getting another Rolex rose gold yachtmaster. Any comments?

Posted with My iPhone X HardwareZone Forums app

Cheapest two tone black dial Daytona I come across is around $13k, watch Only and 2 years shop warranty.

All in a Day is right, if you send via AD, they will send it to AP service center on your behalf to get the quote.

The only real difference is transport fees

Hi there, if you wanna get a skx series, i suggest 3d at bencoolen.

Otherwise skywatches and k2 watches are fine too.

City chain watches are usually 10-15% off the retail price which is more expensive, while 3D, skywatches and k2 watches are street price.

so far didnt see any ah peh wear blue 2 tones sub.... 2 tones datejust alot.. Infact i seen many 30 40 years old wear 2 tone rolex sports.. some even full gold one.. And this watch doesn't suit those with ah beng look... it "upgrade" their looks to ah long... And if u have a fair complexion also doesn't looks nice..The Royal blussey is not an "anybody" watch like the black stainless steel sub... The Bluessey is my most complimented watch and it does attract really good attentions and benefits....

skywatches apparently the customer service quite bad lo, but alot of people seem to have bought from it liao, consensus seems to be that grey market watch, cheap, but aftermarket service can forget it.

I think they are AD for seiko or casio though, so the warranty should honour at service centre...

Gold tone watch...abit obiang to me lei i confirm cannot pull off lol, I think must also see what level la in the company, some boss v weird de

Spoiler

Does anyone know what model is this and where to buy it? Black dial, gold hands and crown.

Or is this a fake? Saw this in Vietnam selling for around $1.2k sgd

didnt mention automatic, nor solar on the dial, meaning should be a normal quartz.

don't think a normal quartz chrono will be retailing at 1.2k sgd le

where you saw it? next time ask to view, and while molesting, see the model no

city chain usually around 20%, recently they have 20 + 10% for the festive period, bought a seiko 5 for mrs on christmas eve at their vivo branch.

you can get 30+% @ bencoolen shops.

or even more discount from skywatches, creationwatches, k2 watches, WatchSpree, etc.. but maybe in house warranty.

Personally bought from watchspree, they handled my item (came with a dent on the case) exchange without fuss (office at ubi area).

skywatches has an physical storefront at people's park, and generally helpful/friendly before sales. no experience for after sales.

k2 would be preferred since ah goh in house warranty is himself
