The Watch Thread - Part 6

[All in a Day]

So basically you want to sell at a higher than cost price? Well this is certainly new cause usually people sell at a lower than cost price.

Why would anyone take over from you at a higher price?

Well.. unless they are desperately looking for it..

To be fair, assuming:
1. it is LNIB
2. cost refers to 50% off price
3. this watch is sold out in sg at this price
4. cannot be gotten even near to this price elsewhere

Then someone who likes it alot maybe willing to pay his cost +, but i suspect it will not be anyone who is aware of the 50% promo. It is just human nature. If knowledge of the promo was absent, it would sound like a great deal (if the kopi money wanted is not greedy)

Thinking of letting go my FC slimline moonphase at cost + a little coffee money. Thought that the watch dial is too big for my puny 5.5 inch wrist. Watch bought on Sunday from THG. Drop me a pm guys..

Btw, how do most people trade with high sale cash transaction? Any pointers to take note? Thanks.

Just pay the seller cash, take watch and go...?
Thrice i have dealt at KFC
Once at MRT station
Twice outside RSC
Once in a privilege banking lounge

Whatever you and the buyer is comfy with......

All the best!

I suppose most folks buy the FC for the 50% off. At least I'm one of them (who ended up without any hahahaha)

Not to sound harsh or anything but that sounds like profiteering to me.

Why make them cover your personal expenses when you made the decision to buy it?

I think you should try selling elsewhere where people do not know of the 50%.

where to get 20mm Nato Straps cheap? wanted ship from amazon but mostly dont ship to singapore

I bought from taobao. $4 each after shipping.

Bought a nice leather strap from there too but its too big for my wrist. Anyone knows a shop that will do punching of a rectangular hole?

$200 personal expense sounds like u imputed some value of time cost or chartered a limo to go down to the shop.

It is probably not advisable to try this on the very forum that introduced u the lobang in the 1st place, from a common sense as well as probability-of-making-sale perspective

But having said that, perhaps there r people willing to. Nv try, nv know!

Contemplating only la. most likely won't sell if it sits on my puny wrist nicely after the strap change. SA told me if punch hole on original strap, the holes won't be exactly like the original holes.

Also, the original black strap costs a premium.
