Hello watch enthusiasts..Im getting my 1st watch and Im considering a Tissot Visodate after hearing all the positive reviews here.

Any bros here can recommend places to get them at "better prices" and if there is a website I can visit to browse through their catalogue?Many thanks.

Official Tissot Website Did a little homework myself...Are all the visodates displayed here on this page or still got others? Tradition doesnt look too shabby imo... Still need help on where I can find a gd price for visodates :s12::s12:

how do u guys make online purchase overseas without worrying?

1st concern, if watch has any defects, it will be troublesome to sent it back, n risk more defects?

2nd concern, servicing of watch in future, will have to send it back overseas, risking defects .

Buying things online has been a way of life in states. Worry also no help, online services so far has been great.

Just shipped back my cheap Christopher ward to cheap warranty. Shipping of us$55 fully refunded into my Paypal on the 2nd day they received the goods.

Other brands, so far no issue as long as it is packed Well. So little risk of defects. Some local service centre cannot service certain in house movement also need ship back also have risk. A good example is those Zenith EP and Chopard LUC.
No need to worry so much

any idea how is stowa online service...always wanted to pull the trigger on the stowa chrono.

a Valjoux 7753 chrono movement should not be hard to be serviced by local watch repairers right??

Buying an preowned Omega SM Mid - 7815 at 1250sgd good price ? From second hand shop.
How does this watch differ from buying a new one such as the black dial below? Just design or? Any help would be great :)

Believe u found it in Monster time gallery. This auto blue-faced wave model should be 2513.80.00 is signature for Bond used in Die Another Day movie. But mid-size could be 39mm instead of full size 41mm.

The case back has wave version but the 41mm black dial wave does not have. It is better to see it and feel physically & if size ok for u and still in gd condition, it is worth considering. U're wearing Bond classic model, u're holding part of its legacy....
