But then, what is the max allowable discount for Orient Watches at these dealers?

I dunno who are the ADs but we mostly buy orients from bencoolen WINS trading or creationwatches.com. I think some go to Bigtime also.

All the best

Little? Crashing?

No dude...this is a beautiful piece of work by the Japanese.
fully made in Japan.

50 years on and still running strong.

The jubilee ss strap is still in good cond.
make a guess dude who this baby belongs to ^.^
Back during my grandpa days. Seiko watches are not cheap.
I hope the next watch meet has more vintage pieces...

little - yes, literally... these are from an era where watches were 35-37mm

(gate)crashing ... yes compared to the relative value, and the perceived demand of the other pieces in that pic. (and the responses following the posting of the pic/am I the only one to take notice).

its a very classy piece, very hard to find in good condition. but testament to seiko's quality even then.

here's mine, one of them with the original bracelet:

these days the wife has taken an appreciation to these and adopts them when she feels like it

Pop by the boutique and try! I believe some of the pieces most likely have been reserved by the SA's regulars. Just ask nicely for the pieces to try on, and whether they are able to call the person who reserved to make a decision whether he or she wants it or not. At least that was how i did it.

 

[Daniel.Y]

wow ur wrist is even smaller than mine (6")... and yet i cannot pull it off for the FC moonphase

Tried it at THG and it was a no-go even though the price is irresistible

i fully agree with you that the FC dial is slightly big at 42mm. However, the lug to lug size is smaller as compared to my 40mm stowa flieger. i think 47 vs 48mm. The lugs is very short. Let me take a close up shot between the two watches and show you later tonight.

Haha, this may seem like a joke, but it is in essence absolutely true.

All businesses are in the business of maximising their profit. Whatever they can take from you, they will. Unless you can convince them otherwise, whether through your charm, your "handsome-ness", your sad story...etc

Huh what tip off?? The 50% off thing?
Ya I called a few branches also told me OOS!!! Walao eh - another forumer here was searching for this!!!

K2 at tanjong katong shopping centre

I was deeply attracted to this particular watch since early last year, but has put off purchasing it due to the price, and various other committments.

Will be heading down to K2 these few days. Drop me a pm if you wanna molest my watch. LOL

This seiko 5 belongs to the grandfather of one of the forumers here... Much stories behind it. the stretches and marks all over the watch says a million words.

So i won't say its "little" among the RM, ALS, Omegas and Rolexes...in fact, its value is immeasurable to the forumer who owns it.

a few of us actually mentioned that this watch meet was able to see how watches have evolved through the ages. 38mm was considered "big" in the 60s and 70s.
then came the 40mm in the 80s. then 42mm in the 90s. and now PAM & YM.

at the next watch meet, I hope to see VW's duomatic, Ariszelc's Pagol and other vintage watches upclose and personal.

regarding the responses... well its normal tbh as not many of us has the chance to come upclose and personal with expensive watches like RM, ALS and Urwerk, even less to touch, feel, morest and wear them. A big, big thank you to iceflight dai dao kor for his generosity.

then again... as the watch meet went on, the attention was shifted to other watches and stuffs. in fact, i felt in the later part of the meet, the watches become secondary as everyone started to talk about personal stuffs and got to know each other better.

honestly, you have to attend one of our watch meet to experience how it is like =) you can't judge the responses from this forum.
At this watch meet, everyone went there with an open mind to know more about watches, different kind of watches, the story behind each watch etc.
