349 USD including delivery, comes with two bezels. Just google Armida and check out their website, you can just buy from there direct.

wah hongkong really... walk everywhere is rolex tudor rolex tudor rolex tudor, went past sino centre today and saw many ball watches.. prices not bad.. abit cheaper than sg..

Because of the mainlanders - they just snap them up by the dozens. Bus loads of PRC go and buy as part of itinerary. If you ask for discount they wont bother to give you. They'd rather give the mainlanders who buy in "bulk".

I heard from the chauffeur from my last HK trip that most Patek models get snapped up as soon as they are displayed. Dunno real or not.

Cheaper due to exchange and no GST I believe. But yes I always enjoyed looking at watches in HK, esp those non-AD shops along nathan road.

yah and i personally saw how they swept the branded goods and the gold there.

basically the hongkongers prefers mainlander shoppers than the rest of the asian tourist cos they know the mainlanders got the supernatural ability to shop.

but sadly to say for us, the rolex and tudors there is not cheap and the grey market here is so much cheaper.

back in SG!!

yah really bobian one, buy and wear and the watch becomes seasoned, got personality then in the long run we wont bother much also.

its like cars also, we drive the car and not the car drive us.

its something we buy to use, so dun think so much abt the knocks.. the DLC coating wise just try our best to take good care of it.

This I understand which is why I don't buy black watches unless is s solid chunk of black metal to the core

yeah lor, my PAM also kena scratches on the polished bezel... try to prevent also will kena one.

the more you try to prevent, the more you will kena... just wear only lor.

 

[patryn33]

The only true prevention is put it in a box not wear it

Nice! If you are who I think you are, were you inspired by Oskargydell's longines moonphase?

Btw I believe its RRP is $4790, with a typical 15% discount.

I had this! it was very nice.

But pls be very very careful. I grazed, take note, grazed and not knock against a table and the coating chipped off. It wasn't even a hard one, just a light graze.

Sold it off at a loss, barely 2 mths after owning it.

Better than my case, wear less than 5 times, never even scrape the watch, the black coating start to peel off by itself
