The Watch Thread - Part 3

700 bucks for tissot v8. Worth buying?

Depends on your perceived value.... I prefer to get auto Visodate over quartz. If u think it is reasonable & within BUD that u really like.... GO FOR IT

 

[javincho]

Anyone got any suggestions on where i can get a better deal for Emporio Armani Watches?

This is more on fashipn watch.... Recommend to consider getting a Orient, Seiko, Tissot.... they are excellent watch makers within that BUD range.

Agree.... u do not need to buy Rolex and show ppl to know u're successful or rich.... buy something that u really like for yrself and not for ppl to think how u are....

Generally all those high-end or luxury brands are due to expensive marketing/ advertising/ sponsorship etc. that pushes up their pricing....

The logo has a price to pay.

If u want a logo with similar design, u may consider Hamilton (BUD ¬$1.3¬1.8K range) which is more expensive that Stowa (of course if u still prefer logo imprinted onto dial)....

Sorry to interject - has anyone heard of a pam limited edition release in china that is other than the one with the 'fu' at the 6 o'clock position? And if that's the only one, is it only available onshore?

Not that i'm remotely interested in buying one, though!

how much does the cheapest stowa cost in the second hand, or even first hand pieces?

thinking of getting a pre-owned one if the price is too huge..i liked the stowa model posted earlier though.. hopefully its not too expensive..

seriously after reading through a few articles, i still can't find myself paying up and queuing up for a timepiece and wait for 3+ months..

Moreover, there is no logo printed there.. how would people know its stowa?

Ironically.
A non-logo Stowa flieger costs more than a one with logo.

That would be PAM 366

Is this a prestigious brand.
Haven't heard of brand before

Wow....it has been some time since someone inquiried on this model.

Longines is now rather strict RP$1,830 at 15% discount only now across SG instead of usual 20%. The only way is to get from airport departure terminals or cheaper through online if u're comfortable.

It is excellent diver watch launched somewhere since Yr2007 and either colour is fine. Mine is black.

online not that much cheaper at US$955 plus GST and shipping still need to pay $1350. only about $200 cheaper no need to buy online.

buy online need to have such price then worth the risk. Louis Erard La Sportive, no diver watch since its 100m but price only at ~$880, compared to ~$1.6k at AD

I like the Aplina extreme auto diver AL-525LB4V26 better imho, like the display back blue screws. some ppl didn't like the rubber

i told u so, sub is most common la

I didn't say u1 is "most common", just that it's very common

[ahboy82]

is it a fashion brand?

Haven't heard of brand before

When I wore my stowa B dial limited which I sold off oredi, my colleague mentioned that it is unique & nice. Ask me what brand...I just told them it a no brand watch.

 

[engtat7]

was thinking in getting a Visodate after looking through the forum, anyone willing to share any good place to get it, what about the tissot V8 ? looks decent too.

 

[quik88]

Anyone can recommend a reliable place to purchase 18mm leather straps? something like the one shown below.

 

[lonestar86]

where is the best place to buy watch? online? or is there any particular place in Sg where they generally offer cheaper prices? Mustafa?

thanks for ur reply.

 

[exxondus]

u1 very common meh??

Sinn had practically destroyed the u1 series, making it a fashion watch imo.

Orange dial la, white dial lah, yellow dial lah, tempest LE lah, and the list goes on.
