The Watch Thread - Part 6

[Bluebird33]

Black bay 2.2k got metal bracelet?

Thats why i say depending on condition. 2.8k can get metal bracelet one. will never exceed 3k because pelagos is only 3.3-3.8k! who will pay 3k when they can just get pelagos for abit more?

his name is bluebird leh... what do you think?

honestly, prices that low must be fire sale. at those prices dealer also willing to buy, and dealers normally buy at 70% to 80% of what the 'market' is for peer-to-peer.

what has names got to do with this?

If we really buy at 70-80% of those prices for peer-to-peer, wah like that I earn until mad liao. hard la, now ppl also smart. At most we can buy cheaper by 5%, and thats around our margins liao. normally earn less than 10% for popular models like Rolex Sports.

Ya. I have seen black bay good condition, with metal bracelet selling for 2.8k.
Pelagos for 3.4-3.6k, good condition, and depending on age.

If got black bay 2.2k, metal bracelet, condition not bad. I sure hoot..

My turns to get into watch games.

In France this Longines Hydroconquest Automatic is going for Euro940.
HydroConquest - Longines - L3.642.4.56.6

Made a few call to Paris Champ Elysee shop (Louis Pion, seems like their Vincent Watch here in France), it's Euro940 (was Euro 870 when launch in 2012, price increased?). Tax refund around 12%, but the sales guy says when i'm there he will give me some sort of special discount. Not sure how much but since i'll be in Champ Elysee for LV, good to check it out.

With currency and tax refund, work out to be around Euro940 * 1.7 * 0.85 = SGD1410. A good buy ?

Also want to buy a Primaluna for wife, wonder what sort of special discount Louis Pion will be giving. Standard 15% like Singapore?

 

[patryn33]

If u can get more discount better buy.
Sg my guess it's around 1.5 So u not saving a lot.

Check this older thread, price today should be higher
