The Watch Thread - Part 4

[yattokame]

btw I heard Rolex increasing price by 6% soon. not just from one but a few shops, different ADs.

 

[All in a Day]

Wanna get something for wife's birthday but may end up with a bag instead.
Getting something for my folks too. Just in time for CNY..... see how lah hahaha

Just post here which model you'd like to check price for. I try to do it later

edit:
btw, I will post an approximate price after std discount. don't wanna sabotage the SAs whom I have been buying watches from. In fact in the past two months I have introduced more than 10 sales for them so they always give my friends very good prices (really very good based on AD prices) when they are at the shop......we know how this works don't we?

on the other hand, suddenly a lot of people, around me at least, wanna buy luxury watches. and they are mostly "virgins" to luxury watches. a bit concerned over this widespread optimism - is a crash imminent? The last time I noticed such levels of optimism I also sort of pre-empted the crash of 2008.

Hey, share more on your thoughts about the crash u think is imminent?

You might be right.... can we also judge by the increasing number of auctions for luxury items?
Been seeing alot of auction ads in Straits times these days...

Those interested time to go and buy, don't wait liao..................

I didn't move it lah. I only moved my a$$ off the couch.

I was expecting the crash in a way; got prepared and managed to get some prime properties on the cheap. I also lost a freaking 300k USD on the stock market but luckily the property market rebound made up for it and more.

But thought the US stock market was on the bull lately ?

My brother from Shanghai just back and heard he saying the property in China is going to collapse soon.

After hearing the property price in Shanghai, I think Singapore property price is peanut........................

I'm no prophet or expert lah. Just basic rule that when everyone is optimistic, be very scared.
And when everyone is scared, time to have a look.

No lah just that another fren wanted this piece but it got sold just hours before she arrived. The timing prompted me to ask if yours is from raffles hotel THG.
