The Watch Thread - Part 3

[Mr_spEEd]

yes it is the first link EP with power reserve and the price is $5900??? That price was alot lower.... unless it is in swiss francs or pound..

I always thot reebonz provide warranty for watches because i remember i saw them mentioning it previously..but i cant find it now...

so you got the watch from them ah? Fast delivery? After convert to SGD, need to factor in GST right? Any other cost?

I happened to be in KL so deal with the seller directly. For me just pay for the price in SGD after conversion. As far as I know if you ordering from here, you have to pay some small charges if paying by CC and maybe another small amount for insurance. I doubt there is any GST involved but you can check with them directly. They are very friendly and helpful to answer your queries.

one of the bro mentioned its in USD.... so i use rate 1.3.... then add gst... its ard SGD8.2k.... i think the price is not bad already...

Bro the rate not 1.3. Is lower as they use XE conversion. so is about SGD $7,300. Confirm cheaper than Reebonz.
XE: (USD/SGD) US Dollar to Singapore Dollar Rate

Watch is full package and comes with 2 years International warranty. My personal opinion is go KL and get the watch. Return airticket only less than $100 and you can have fun over there.

I see. Thanks so much for your information. Is the shop easy to find? Just wondering if there is any problem with the watch, we need to send the watch back to KL??

My opinion? Movement and finishing wise, yes, on par maybe even better than the swiss

But if you want to get something that people will "wow" at, you can skip the Jap watches

That why is good to go KL personally and inspect the watch. At the same time can take a short break too For me is I requested the seller to deal at my hotel before I got lost in KL lol.

Anyway if there is really any problem, just send to LVMH since is covered with international warranty.

Actually not quite. I still feel is quite small although I have a thin wrist. Maybe the bezel is not thick so look big.

so you mean the watch is covered by the watch company itself and not the shop??

Going down to THG to try out the watch this weekend

Actually not quite. I still feel is quite small although I have a thin wrist. Maybe the bezel is not thick so look big.

ahhh i always look for 41mm when i trying for watch...42mm is ok to me but i need to try on it first...

hmm? spoil what market? the exclusive market?

 

[ForumRider]

looks like the EL PRIMERO is not meant for me... as i just realised that there is no date to show.....

now looking at this
Zenith - Swiss Luxury Watches

For the same price point, I think it holds its own against its european counterparts

Prestige wise, this is probably coz they concentrated only on their domestic markets, and only starting to open up

Plus marketing is strong for the european brands, making them more "prestigious"

He wants to wear a watch to impress might as well buy 5kg gold bracelet. Consperm wow factor alot.
