Btw, pardon my amateurish question, but may I know if all brand-new 1st-hand watches come with a protective film over the glass? 1 of the shops that I patronise, had an owner being pretty nonchalant in taking out that piece he had on hand & wiping the glass with a random cloth (I know it's sapphire & all that...but still...) & I notice that it has no plastic film over the glass...

Or for "luxury" watches (even the lower-tier brand names & the entry-level models), this film-on-glass thing is not applicable?

Advice is, dun buy if u feel need precautions

I usually avoid buying stuff from lucky plaza. In my opinion, those peeps there have been in the biz for so long, no amt of advice will help u guard against them one.

You have a point, but the model I'm looking for is rather, hard to find. On the other hand, most folks "not-in-the-know" generally have a similar vibe, i.e. the need to have precautions, when patronising Sm Lim Square shops, but...that's not to say that there are indeed, a few decent businesses there, if you are "in-the-know". Too bad I'm not that familiar with the watch scene locally. I would goto THG, Cortina or Sincere though,if I really want piece of mind (for the authenticity; not the price) but I actually called up THG & they told me they do not carry Fortis (& I'd suspect the other 2 companies will similarly not do so)...

Actually, u walk over to Far East Plaza, there is a few 2nd hand watch dealers there the price I think better.

U can go and checked up.

Thank you for your advice, but I'm looking for first hand units.

but i think those burnished silver or pewter cast bezel for the 5600 would look really nice

maybe done via sand cast

Bnib watches from shops are usually wrapped in transparent and blue pvc sheets

Unless you take display set.

But nobody will take display 1 unless discount gaogao

Nope airport shop doesn't discount. So u only get 7% gst off. Lower than AD discount.

Nope, for some brands, airport gives same discount as AD, plus another 7% savings on GST. One example is Tag.

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
