The Watch Thread - Part 3

Black bay still out of stock? Hmm. U can try parallel importers then.

Black bay is a great watch

BTW my friend went to Johor Preminum Outlet & offers Tudor 25% discount max but cannot find Black Bay.

Hamilton watch, american, swiss made & all ns man have.

Tissot is swiss & swiss made

 

[KohChris]

Tissot is v.popular in switzerland itself, it is their operations,marketing and sales stronghold. So you are not getting rubbish, when something is appreciated in watchmaking industry country.

They have alot of point of sales in sg, so the brand has strong visibility, translating to better brand recognition for owners.

However their product quality is still sub $1,000. Their steel cases & clasps are inferior to tag heuer

i had dropped by Bencoolen in the evening today. Failed to locate any orient watches available over there. Wasted a trip..

While at maymay, the best price quoted for visodate was the standard 15% they stood firm on their ground, regardless of me saying that i will pay in cash.

This type of retailers.. how to haggle? any tips? Maybe i really dress like a student.. i was in my office wear attire, with my jansport backpack containing my gym stuffs. Maybe they judge by looks as well?

[hamilton/tissot]

My heart goes to Tissot. Generally it is cheaper with similar layout than Ham.... a few bro recommened online purchase & as for me, I will pay a bit more to try and feel physically.

Haha, yes i think they do have slightly similar designs. I went to take a look at the physical watches but they differ quite a bit from the pics online. I am looking at something around the 600-700 range, leather with preferably white or silver dial. Any recommendations?

Hi All,

Just wondering, is it worth getting a Ronda 5130.D movement quartz watch for ~$500? Or is there any other alternative?
Thanks.
