The more I look at the new Zenith Defy skyline....

The more I feel it looks similar to APRO jumbo

Can add this too. And the many other angular, octagon watches with integrated bracelet be it the work of Gerald Genta or homages haha

On the contrary, it’s Zenith way of telling the world they are way before their time.
Defy Skyline - they did octagonal cases before Gerald Genta.
Chronomaster Sport - they revived Daytona with their El Primero movement.

Unfortunately, they backfired to being copycats.

But someone think they did it for fashion purposes 😏

Any good reputable 2nd hand watch dealers? I've been to watch capital, watch vault, chuan watch, bright time but the selections they have is not what I'm after. I'm looking to purchase either a Rolex 42mm Yatcht Master White Gold or AP Royal Oak

There are plenty of preowned watch shops in Far east plaza.
I visited them last month and I remember quite a number of them carry APRO

For APRO, if you have a very specific ref number or dial design, consider discussing this with the owner and see if they are able to source for you

Hi, does anybody know currently ADs like cortina, Sincere...how much discount will they give for IWC, say big pilot? Or if there's any grey dealers out there who can get IWC could anyone drop me a contact? Thanks!

iirc 15-20% discount should be possible
If you really daring… you can try 25-30%.
but it still depend on the SA… how desperate they are for sales and how eager the AD wants to clear certain watches.

if you don’t intend to build a relationship with AD then you can consider going to pre owned… CHUAN, HJ are some of the shops I know which have IWC pre owned
