That's why he told me he got a lot of tools..................

And all his tools are made in Swiss...................

I just wanted to help him out as it's quite bad to see so many small local watch shop one by one gone.......................

I think he also got quite a number of regular clients. Maybe some of them from here.......................

some of our bros here say our local ADs give better discount.

Passed by the Bretiling boutique at palais renaissance last evening, and viewed their watches on display. I am seriously getting poisoned. Read from other forums that they might be controlling their discounts from 25% to 15% real soon.

I would love to buy.. but i don't bear to shell out so much money to justify it yet.

my watch's battery has died. where can i go to replace my battery? departmental stores like BHG, Isetan or neighbourhood shops cheaper?

Give yourself some cooling off period. If you still want it that badly, you will buy it.
I always buy my watches at the end of the year. Many months of cooling period

Boutiques usually have little discount and carries rare pieces; ADs usually have better pricing. Not sure about Breitling though I have always quite liked a white face navitimer world.

Depends on the watch - some may not have the right tool. A couple of shops I went to could not open up my wife's gucci watch to change the battery. End up going back to AD.

Having different case tools is reassuring, on top of the many years of experience.

A watchmaker can have many years of experience but have a lack of parts/tools, resulting in ineptness

Its better to have those watch shops gone and leave a few competent ones for everyone...the watch is obsolete anyway

Amazon is always having discounted prices on invicta...but I will suggest considering other micro brands than invicta.

Number 3 looks better. And it's a watch brand.

 

[yattokame]

Agree with dempseyroll.
No. 3; for the same reasons.

Suddenly interested in the SARB series, especially the one with the sunburst design (SARB065) .... Many comparison made with Visodate because of price range.

Opinions from those who have tried it before?
