The Watch Thread - Part 6

[yattokame]

Think cortina going to have ther private sales this week up to 70% off apparently. Anyone knows in previous years how are the sales like?

Its usually those models that cant sell and the agents wanna take them back. So just sell for lower profit. Some frens have picked up something they like over the years but those are also the non-popular models.

Can be quite a squeeze and do go very early. Some ppl snap up the pieces very fast to flip them.

Surprisingly tasty lunch from Cafe Imperial, a place I thought would be defined more by it's location than food.

Poulet Noir Label Rouge.

Basically free-range french black chicken. Hahaha!

very nice, i like. but i have a preference for this vintage designs so i'm biased.

the double stars is going to be a rarity, the latest 410s have it removed.

i think your pic doesn't do the dial justice with the flash/high-contrast lighting that kills the subtlety of the sunburst graphite silver dial.

this is much better:

I received the flyer for it, anyone knows if it's a private or open to public sale?

That's a limited edition, may not even be available in singapore. Strange watch to buy if you want one to tell the time with, in my opinion. Seems more like a ben-10 toy than a watch...

Btw, quick chrono24 search suggests that retail for this is $20k+ when it was launched. At that price it may just be an expensive fake.

jin swee

but the brushed rose gold even the slightest scratch is going to be obvious.

Dont think switzerland is cheap. They sell at retail with no discounts.
I think sg and hk are cheapest, according to what I've read and heard. But with the weak yen, watches can be cheaper from Japanese grey dealers.
