The Watch Thread - Part 3

[yattokame]

Unfortunately,not that i know of.

They're exceedingly rare. I'll try and check out the AP boutique later and will update.

I'm curious to try it on as well!

Three sales persons I frequent all replied - no stock. Retail 47k. Interesting but really need to see the real thing....

Hope you have good news from the boutique! And take some pics!

hello, anyone know where to look for a daniel wellington with NATO strap? & also any lower end timex to intro?

thinking of either getting a daniel wellington or a cheap timex with NATO strap

First auto / mechanical watch! was fully intending on buying the tissot heritage visodate but after seeing and trying it on, decided that I like the look of chunkier watches. Ended up going for PRC200 auto chrono instead

Guys, anyone know what is the retail price of this model?

The new Robinsons @ Orchard has it in their guys dept.

A shop (name escapes me) in Cathay Cineleisure 1-2 shops away from Xin Wang carries a few as well.

And the shop next to Zara at Ion Orchard also has it.

As for Timex, I think their Intelligent Quartz line quite nice. Love its flyback chrono. Perhaps you can explore that line.

34k should be about right for this piece after 30 percent. Now i'm really intrigued to try and find it.

I read jackroad website; they advise customers to email them to check on availability of items and confirm prices before heading down.

take more pictures of watches ah!!!

for such a rare piece you sure they will give 30% discount...?

AP watches generally command a 30 percent discount in grey markets, from what I know. Not ADs.

If you look at jackroad's prices after conversion, it's about 37k sgd, which isn't that far off from the 30 percent we're looking at.

pai sey I thought u meant AD. if AD price is 34k it will make my decision between the GMT and the Nautilus even more painful.

it already is quite painful now with the introduction of this AP skeleton

it's very personal.
if you like it, it's a good buy.
if you don't like it, it's a good bye.

pardon the pun

well actually my first choice was the bumble bee but after visiting this website i realize that i can actually get a more expensive range at a lower price. So minus air tix etc still worth to buy overseas. Personally i like the Rose-gold chrono but no stock now. perhaps i need to wait for them to bring in

I had been looking on this 2 for days and I feel this is nicer :

But then it's up to individual taste.

I also checked this out but this one is 38hr power reserve with 42mm case diameter as compared to that one is 55hr power with 44mm.

Another thing I like about the one that I prefer is the protective horns on crown.

And last important thing is the case back is transparent as compare to your one so u can admired the movement of the watch.

But anyway, it's up to individual taste.
