The Watch Thread - Part 3

[javincho]

Their Classics collection (pictured) starts at <sgd1.5k after discount. The Hour Glass is their exclusive distributor in SG.

they have a special edition slim line watch for WUS:

Cool story behind it too.



i believe patryn is stating the fact that FC manufactures their own tourbillion:
Introducing The Frederique Constant Slimline Tourbillon Manufacture (Specs & Pricing) — HODINKEE - Wristwatch News, Reviews, & Original Stories
not that the model they are talking about contains one.

anyway FC invented the open heart concept but didn't patent it so other brands copied it

WOS also carries it and compare. Std discount 20% but u may try negotiate 25% ....

CHAMPION TIME got, bencoolen


went there yesterday, saw it, but its brand new according to their website..but should be cheaper...

anyway i saw other omega divers too, can go there take a look

Champion Time

To Bro Vadhar, RP for old PO $5850 and so far most AD oos... i only find one in Cortina MBS 42mm.... so if u can get it 35% ¬40% off in gd condition in used/ 2nd hand shops, it may worth considering.... and do check condition prior purchase.

how about Rolex Submariner "Hulk"?

Looks damn stunning to me!

I still prefer the classic black Sub.... its signature & symoblic Rolex's icon.
But given a WISH list, I will get Explorer II.

 

[javincho]

watch expert,

may i know where can i buy this watch ? how much does this watch retail ?

thanks.

If rmb correctly, it can be seen in ALL Watches BHG Bugis.... think selling around $2K with 20% std discount....

Kadloo - another steinhart like German brand. There is a AD in sg but online prices thru grey starts at us$270 for a ETA 2824. today due to SWatch cutting ETA supply they maybe using CLARO SEMAG CL888. older model maybe a better deal

To me, it is ulu brand Given a choice, either I will top up a bit more n go for Steinhart.... or get a cheaper Seiko will do

 

[javincho]

Any comments on this Omega? $2,100 for an Omega SPM seems OK. What's the actual model no.?

Entry lvl SPM starts from $4550.... so it might be worth considering provided conditon is ok... Gd Luck.

So in yr heart which one u prefer.... PO or SPM? Pls validate and make a wise selection.

[javincho]

Pls ask the ADs around. They will respond to u professionally.... not to be sar.....

 

[patryn33]

Ask AD! They also can believe, their job is sell and make $

Ball watches on 20% discount at Vivocity roadshow.today last day. fyi.

Hope with more profiling, better awareness and effective marketing, BALL can notch up higher status... In fact possible for 25% depending on nego skill with sales.

Ball is my first step towards luxury watch opener and do believe in their synergy n drive..... someday we'll see...

 

[javincho]

I like...timeless classic. Versatile...can easily double as a dress watch.

Nice, simple n black..... But around that price range, I will go for other brands like Omega AT or IWC Portofino for the looks and price.

And compare with Explorer both versions, I will opt for II... in white.

Still thinking of this MB but reluctant to part this amount. On MB website, it is selling about 6500 USD I have not check with AD in SG.

The perception of MB for general is, they make good pens... Guess slowly, they will change their thinking. 45k to 260k, definitely not within my reach.

MB entry lvl auto starts from $2900 onwards..... Pens is their current cash cow and someday it will be esclipsed by their shining star, Watch.

One friend obsessed with MB brand... bought watch, wallet, pen, pouch, belt and he wears them with pride... he is MB tai li ren

 

[Velton]

ball easily 20%.

btw, any comments on breitling.. think something like this..

 

[Velton]

another ball which i shortlisted..

Hi guys, recently my auto pilot watch kind of screw up. Start of the day as usual i start winding at exact time. Few hours later, my watch seems to be faster than the usual timing. Any gurus know what's the problem?

 

[PengZzz]

U do not wear watch on weekdays?? Anyway Orient or Seiko5 from $100+ for a start within reasonable BUD can save your worries.....

I'm serving Ns now. So unlikely I will be wearing automatic watch in camp.

For black lovers. But how many here given the money is no problem would get one of these official customized Rolex? I'm sure some lovers will say it ruins the heritage.
