Any comments with dreyfuss & co. ?? Can't find much reviews or info online.

Saw this piece going for S$1.4K and not sure whether is it worth that price.

Dreyfuss & Co? Owned by the Dreyfuss Group- which also owns the Rotary brand. However, the Dreyfuss Group has been 100% bought over by the China's Haidian Group (a property development company) which also owns Eterna (with Porsche design license) and Corum brands of watches.

For 1.4K? I wouldn't buy it..not for this brand and they are certainly not handmade either...the particular watch gives off too much of a Hublot vibe with the bezel and integrated strap?

Better dropping that kind of cash on a Hamilton Viewmatic Skeleton or Orient Star Vintage Skeleton. Alternatively you can consider to up the budget to 2k plus and get a Tissot T-Complication Squelette or Oris Artelier Skeleton. All of which are from well known and bigger players in the watch industry.

well... after knowing so much information about this particular watch company... the final decision is still up to you bro...

Buy the watch for the very reason why you were attracted to it.

Hey guys, I am thinking of getting the bezel on my AP ROO Rubberclad replaced due to unsightly nicks. Anyone knows how much it is to get it replaced at the AP service center and whether I can get it replaced anywhere else? Thanks.

Pple will usually keep investment grade timepieces if it's above 1k.

All people who buy sevenfriday, schaumburg, Meistersinger, snyper, brm, louis erard, Wyler,
ennebi fondale and nauticfish will lose $$ gaogao.....

Above 1k is investment grade wow !

Give AP service center a call for a quote. As for the bezel, I seriously doubt you can get a replacement elsewhere locally. I would think they are controlled items.

I think it's private on Thursday and open to public on Fri. But there have been exceptions where people can enter even when it's private sale from other brands. So see if you can smoke your way in.
