Firstly, congrats on ur new brand. It's good to see local brands, regardless the product.

May i ask where are ur watches manufactured? Are these original designs to your brand or OEM?

Thank you bro! It's manufactured in china with full original designs and have the cad drawings/ 3d models to prove :) Didn't want to go down the homage route as its not much to be proud of, even though costs and time taken is wayyyyy cheaper.

For the price range not much choice with the location of manufacture though.

Went with the miyota as its got the best price/reliability too.

ok i am sure I'll kena left right centre up down for this but......
just from pics alone I still prefer the IWC perpetual over the ALS perpetual leh. :s22:

Nv kena la.. I personally find the perpetual too "busy" for an ALS although mayb unfair la. Perpetual calendar dun look busy is like being super ngeow (but hey it's ALS, high standards apply).

If u really like the iwc then go for it. Its only when u get tempted and tried others enough then u know whether u truly like what u had in mind. Dun try to apply this to ur relationships though if u're a settled man or lady (VW bday girl)

Omg the Terraluna... That's an amazing watch. What made u choose the perpetual over it?
Click to expand...

It's really amazing I agree, but it's really huge maybe 48mm, thick as well, look like I'm wearing a pocket watch on the hand..... the price is S$300k+ as well, I haven't compared with other watches this range yet, but at the moment that range is still bit painful for me...

Not yet, I'll be calling them on Monday to check. Figured I'd try asking the Bros here first if anyone has gotten it authenticated with them before.

Some pre-owned shops may tell u they can do it but is that enough assurance for u? Unfortunately the rolex and RSC authentication model don't work for other brands. If u alrd bought, bring to service centre to service and double up as authentication will be the best option IMO

I haven't bought it yet, still weighing options. I think I'll do just that. Thanks!
