The Watch Thread - Part 14

[cyrenic]

Strange, I put mine up at $6k on carousell, no takers at that pricing and everyone else was low balling or performing a vanishing act or serious buyers thus end of the day, I just decided to dump it and get a Ah pek diamond dial Daytona instead.

Carousell is full of clowns one, I always check the reviews.. If mostly positive it is usually ok. I sometimes also check the follow/followers list and it’s quite obvious that some are just clone accounts..

Thank for sharing!

Already own the Seiko Presage ssa345 so I'm thinking of other brands than Seiko, but yes I did notice this watch and the ssa346

Bizarre experience with Meranom, which has very good reviews on the net:

1) Made order 6 Jun, and initiated cancellation on 10 Jun apologetically as I had a change in mind.

2) Seller agreed to partial refund on 10 Jun, and said that he could not refund the parts change fee, which I agreed to. I thought this was simple enough - just one or two clicks on Paypal, right?

3) Nope, 12 Jun I check in on the status and the refund is still not initiated. I Whatsapp Dmitry, and he checks and says that refund will be made "soon".

4) 13 Jun, I get a reply from my email of 12 Jun, which states "please wait". Not very informative.

5) 14 Jun, I check with Dmitry again and he asks me to only check on orders via email. I have already opened a case with Paypal.

I think prior to this, I had a very good impression - Dmitry replied to Whatsapp messages fast, was very prompt.. But when it comes to refunds, it's a little frustrating. I can accept if the company explains why it is taking so long, after all, it's my fault for the change in mind. But I don't understand why the customer's expectations are being built up, and I have to keep following up to check on the refund.

But then again, my first Vostok purchase on eBay also required me to check in on the shipment. Maybe it's a Russian thing?

Update - well that was fast, the moment I open a case with Paypal I got my refund.

hmmmm

Sad, if I didn't buy my SPB053 I might have gotten this.. But then again, the SPB053's sunburst dial jin swee.

So many nice watches.

Orient Star lor, got a lot of models. Don't think you can get a nice Swiss dress watch at the budget, sadly. So have to look to Japan.

But apparently the rose gold plating can peel.

If you're willing to consider Seiko again, SRP468J1:

Prestige Time at Bras Basah Complex has 1 piece.

DXMachina nice intro! Hmm will take a look at it.

Edit:

.... got distracted, realised the SPR467 looks freaking nice

SARX045 is worth looking into too, similar case design, bracelet and subtle blue dial:

u mean 6159-7001 ? I don't appreciated vintage .. SLA out of reach for me .. MM300 current prices also inflated … this one price and look just nice for me..

Sad, if I didn't buy my SPB053 I might have gotten this.. But then again, the SPB053's sunburst dial jin swee.

So many nice watches.
