The Watch Thread - Part 16

[Seannie]

Hi does anyone know where can service Cartier / zenith watches?
intend to buy pre owned one
Saw a 2013 el primero open for about 7k on Carousell and a Cartier tank XL for about 4.5k, both models I’ve been eyeing for awhile now but never willing to pay retail for them .
Will be my first time buying pre owned watches so want to bring them to service after I purchase them

Hi, where do you recommend to buy preowned zenith from other than online like carousell? Im also thinking of getting one but not sure to get from boutique or reseller.

Hello, my friend would like to walk in to buy a Speedmaster from the boutique (3861), is it even possible with no purchase history?

@official_t_atelier any thoughts on this new zenith? Can buy?

Frankly, I am not familiar with new Zenith however I noticed most of the watches are selling below retail though el primero is a good movement.

This is the most fun part about watch collecting - justifying why you choose a certain watch to throw your money at. There are so many paths.

You have a diver now, what is the next genre that’s most relevant to your lifestyle? Dress? Chronograph? Pilot? Multiple time zones? Grande date?

Or play with materials like titanium, ceramic, palladium, gold…etc.

So many possibilities, so little money…

I dont mind going for another diver. Else dress watch is fine. I dont have much money to throw. So looking for classic. Budget max ard SGD15k. I think steel good enough. No need time zone. Any recommendations? The new zenith ok?

For that range (or any for that matter), a Zenith wouldn’t be where I’d put my money.

I’d go for left field choices like Santos (as suggested by Kusanagi), Milgauss, Parmigiani, sector dialed JLC’s, Habring… even a Bvlgari Octo Finissimo.

Hence it’s highly personal. Just buy what you like and know will wear.
