The Watch Thread - Part 3

[josephkjc]

Thanks. More than I'd like to admit. The Lange boutique at Ion quoted 65,000 SGD. I purchased it because there was a very significant discount from the quotation. Got it somewhere else.

Very nice piece. But didn't you just bought the AP , spend 6 digits in 2 months!
Your watch collection wanna catch up your shoe collection isit ;p

I once consider Chinese watch due to budget constraint lor...

Be prepared for breakdown and sending in earlier for servicing.

Guys, can check with you whether any shops
that allow instalment plans for watches?

All the AD do and some of the 2nd hand dealers also do on certain credit cards.

But cash can get u better price.

 

[Jeremy1]

Yeah, the Open Star model uses the El Primero movement. But maybe not buying it now.. budget for more important things first.. the watch is meant for my gf.. hehe

You are so good.....................

 

[Jeremy1]

This two are atas brand, me peasant cannot afford.
What about Seiko?

Actually I admired those people who buy GS, knowing that the resale value is low and yet they still buy it.

Those are true watch collectors.

I aiming for casio. Gshock yellow for myself & baby G red for gf. $159 nia.

Actually this particular Beijing watch works out to around $560. Not really cheap actually. My experience with Seagulls have been good so far, so thought of giving the Beijing hand wound SB18 movement a chance.

If whoever interested in Seagull watches, can dropped by at Jaben in Adelphi. There is one small shop there selling.

Not surprise that a lot of people don't know the high end watches from Seiko.

They are only blinded by ROLEX.....................

 

[hwaa]

maybe years down the road see how it goes.. at the moment think this bb can keep lah cos market i think theres no divers with red bezel.. quite iconic..
