Swiss Francs went up so much after their central bank let it float. It makes goods and products produced in Switzerland more expensive now. I guess all Swiss watches gonna increase in prices soon? :(
Also curious about this. anyone know?

Just got the swap done at K2 yesterday, and Mr Goh commented that how the new batch of dials (from Dagaz) looks really good as compared to the purplish ones previously.

FYI, snzh57 is OOS if anyone's interested.

hi bro, roughly how long does it takes for the items from dagaz to reach singapore? Just ordered some parts from them to mod a seiko

Thank you :)

My female friends in the gmc don't let me try. Cause the road narrow and our car very long.
Then we cock up flight, for extended one day in SF. Went to rent a civic for a day and went down the Lombard street. Lol quite fun. Wanted to rent mustang but too ex. My friend stay in U.S. say mustang or camaro no handling one. So he bought the Infiniti. He say a lot better.

The gmc I drove is 5.6L or smt. Damn big the engine.
Their cars engine all damn dua. A lot of Tesla, Maserati and Aston.

As usual mustang, camaro and corvette flooded the street. Lol mostly douchebags driving those cars.

Saw a lot of CL65 AMG on the road.
Cars toooo cheap there.
Friend say 30+ k can buy mustang or camaro. Lol cheaper than jap

Usa big country only cars expensive in sg
Even msia or jap or China their cars cheap.
Entry level mustang or camero usd$25-30k can get highend usd$70-80k

Jap performance car like Miata from Mazda only usd$23-30k
Jap never made muscle cars.
The Scion FR-S just usd$25k and highend still under usd$30k

Infiniti by Nissan is lux car
Under usd$40k the mustang performed well

2015 mustang good reviews
http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/columnist/healey/2014/09/27/2015-ford-mustangs-better-than-ever/16231683/

Surprise for u to find so many mustang etcon the streets in sf. I find more jap cars like Honda and Toyota there. Too many Asian there.

Even when I visit the motor city I don't find that many. I heard managers at ford and gm lease car for cheap. Some even get free car.

Explorer 2, I definitely got it at more than 7.8k bnib. Where to get at 7.8k? :(

fly to italy and buy. at current euro exchange rate of 1.53, very very very worth it. with tax back i think brand new from AD is around $7,400 only.

KLM ticket to italy is around $1000 with tax and fuel surcharge. MTL!!! :s13:

Any idea where to check the current retailing price in Europe?

What are the discounts AD in Europe can give usually? I know probably Daytona and Batman don't need to expect any discount I guess.

email some european ADs to ask. I find that they are quite responsive to emails, because their sales are mostly to tourists - local business is poor.
