The Watch Thread - Part 4

[hwaa]

Hnnngggghh..

u will never get pelagos and blackbay at those discount one lah...

cos even at retail with 5-10% discount it's already very popular and hard to find one in stocks.

 

[hwaa]

TH has outlets in europe and US..can even get up to 70% for certain models..i got mine locally at 50% using a fren's staff discount too...

but 50% is mostly thg inhouse brands, non inhouse brands also quite strict the staff purchase.

its very different from other sites like "Watch Snob" or some threads in WUS forums...

also agree that this is no need to create an "elite watch" thread, cuz this thread is already a place for watch lovers to congregate. be it quartz or automatic or mechanical. be it $5 watch or $1million watch.

people coming in here are free to ask questions like:
"I have a budget of $100. any recommended watches?"

and people will give their honest replies and recommend some watches.

speaking of which... my nephew just got his O Levels results and he did pretty well. Got 5 As out of 8 subjects, and I promised him that if he did well for his O levels, I will buy him a graduation watch. My budget is around $600
then just now at lunch time, I walked by this watch shop at Collayer Quay and this Arbutus design caught my attention:

Any better recommendations?

I think you can get some Steinharts for that price. Swiss movement.

don't worry lah... also don't wan to put your friend at risk of losing his ricebowl...

but if I really wanna get a TH...then maybe can PM you to see if can help out??

 

[All in a Day]

Because it look like rolex except the hands ?

Hmm ok. If that's really the reason, suggest you can check out invicta watches. These are designed to look even closer to the submariner.

Personally like the seiko divers with the signature crown at 4 o'clock and g-shock style rubber strap but was always too expensive to get as a kid. With lifestyle/life cycle changes, forgot about this watch already.. Now the temptation has been re-kindled.. heh
