its quite ex and im not sure if there's any hype to begin with..

IMO, this still looks best on the leather strap

Changed my s&g chrono to a bracelet that I took from a black bay red. It actually fits perfectly!

Not so uncle looking as compared to the half gold bracelet version of S&G chrono. It was on the leather previously.

Sent from Samsung SM-G988B using GAGT

Blancpain? overhyped?
overpriced is subjective, if you tag it solely to resale value then yes

only bcos its a LE, most of the LE is <500 pcs or below, and at 40mm which is a size some preferred instead of the 45mm

it's a solid piece and its priced well.

BP FF is always a tier higher than rolex subs.
just the movement itself is solid.

Hi Guys!

Thanks to this thread, I have found an AD for the watch I was looking for and placed a deposit 3 weeks ago.
The AD said that it will take 12 weeks to arrive, and that "until then, all you can do is wait and we will not have any information."

I have never ordered a watch; is this the norm, for placing an order to import a watch?
And when is a good time to ask whether the Watch is available for sure? I intend to ask around more, if the AD is not even capable of securing one for me.

The AD says he won't even know when the watch is shipped, cleared of customs, or arrive in SG. He will not have any of those info. He didn't even Whatsapp me when he placed the order for me, like... that's the least he could do, is to keep his customers comfortable with Hundreds of deposits, right?

By no means I am rushing, as it will be worth it in the end... but this is just odd, in a world of information. Not to mention I know it's a fact that the Watch Brand has to have work orders, shipping documents and then delivery order etc. some sort of records for the AD. I assume the AD would not be so passive about their watches they order for their stores?
