I guess end of day just know where are our priorties.

i cant understand diamonds and branded bags also but if my friends like, i support them lucky my wife dont like

End of day, hobby needs money. Be it more or less.

I guess the general consensus is: don't rush to buy - only buy when you are ready.

At the end of the day, if you've been wanting to buy that watch for some time or intend to over the next couple of months, now is probably as good a time as any to get it, provided you can afford it and have set aside that amount. Price will go up anyway regardless of the swiss currency fiasco or the annual adjustments.

If buying that watch is not in your short term plans then no point rushing to buy it just because everyone else is doing it. No point squeezing yourself and pay in installments either, that's just prolonging the pain.

At the end of the day nothing beats liquid cash. If an emergency crops up and you need cash, that chunk of metal is going to look pretty useless on your wrist.

Liquid cash also can get better price from grey

Boss, how much to do the mod ah? Feel like modding mine too when it comes.

Snoopy dial around 200+ from ofrei, then look for a service shop to swap.
I went to Lu-Ann @ far east.

if its a original snoopy watch, then it will be twice the price of a moonwatch

Nice collection. You don't need to be sorry. No PP, AP nor Rolex needed! I have an FC Moonphase too (without the GMT function).

Remembered yatto once said, it's not whether you can buy it, it's when you can buy it.

i like bell and ross...pushed a new direction and succeeded in owning the segment. pricing for new is a bit high IMO, however it holds its value in the used market. The new vintage officer vintage designs look great; i kinda feel that a lot of watchblogs gave Bell and Ross too much stick for what it deemed as copying, but turn a blind eye to the top brands when they do it.

you mean when you can own it. buying is easy with credit cards and cheap loans to all and sundry.
