The Watch Thread - Part 3

[Henabi]

If u like it, buy it
Worth or not is in your heart. Brand new watches depreciate the moment u walk out of the shop with it anyway.

Actually I like it alot... Second to Monaco but just wanna know if I'm overpaying for it.

Always good to ask around and compare. Dun wanna feel like a carrot head if there is anther shop which is offering same model at more affordable pricing

Thanks for the info. A very good insight... learnt a new thing today.
This is very welcoming, apart from just the look & feel comparison.
I tend to compare the technology and other technical factors when purchasing timepieces more that a certain value. E.g. was comtemplating a Tag Heur Link with my "eye candy" Pelagos or Black Bay.

Hello guys,

Would like to seek your opinion on this particular watch strap's color.

Is it suitable for work/formal attire - CBD area? Seems a bit loud.

Hey guys,

Any good classy watch brand to recommend with leather strap also prefer to have store in singapore and not online.


Budget < $400

Cartier Miss Pasha Pink Dial Satin - Quartz movement
About $3.3K

the pricing will jump significantly once you look at automatic movement, diamonds, gems, limited edition, watch straps using exotic leather, watch casing using titanium, gold plated etc.

Isn't that watch feminine?? 3.3k isn't a lot. Not uncommon for ppl here to pay $8-20k for a watch.

Not need to email for price just look below and multiply ~1.4 to get sg retail value

- Seiko
-Citizen
-Orient

-Skagen
-Guess
-Casio
