How n where to get 15% off?

Buy at Ion.. Factor in the voucher and it's abt 15% off

Checkout the promo that ion is running now.. Ends 24th may IIRC

Ok leh quite reasonable since is just a small premium over the regular M2 and not much of a mark up as compared to FX rate from CHF.

It doesn't help that this piece is a limited edition with only 2,000 pieces.

Enjoy your watch!

Over $2k rose gold miyota 8s family member movement is costly for me. LE of 2000 not really LE.

BTW I think there is a fairly famous (within the US) vintage watch shop located in SF. Well worth a visit, assuming that's where u are.

You're not alone bro, I also can't afford it hahaha. Not worth 2k based on components but based on looks I wouldn't mind paying for it if I had the money.

What kind of sports? Need to dive?

Do you prefer dive watch, chronograph or GMT watches? Probably can google these 3 and see which suits you.

Lastly, what is your budget?

 

[lisabnat]

thanks for the reply:

i'm think a dive, chronograph watch is best for me.

i'm thinking about 1-2k?
something that can retain value or raise in value after?

If u can get hold of a time machine, probably can recommend you some watches at your budget (non-inflation adjusted) 40-50 years ago that meets the criterion highlighted in red.

Otherwise my sincere advice to you is to ditch that criterion, get something u like and that meet your needs and wear it in good health!

 

[lisabnat]

i also dont really know how watches work!

the 1-2k and the retain value/ raise in value is mutually exclusive?
ok, then 1 - 2k then!

 

[arctuates]

Sell at equal or more? Vintage lor. But do your own research because nobody is going to spoonfeed you, we're all busy hunting our own grails...

 

[confusedboi]

Congrats and Happy Belated Birthday to you.

Thank you! Birthday was a month ago. Waited 6 weeks for this. Watch from Hk grey dealer.

Watches tell time.

Heeheehee ... joke over. To retain value, must be sorted after. Thus the cheapest will be Rolexes. You just need another 0.

And btw ... diver no chrono. Who will use chrono function under water? Don't be angry please. Give u suggestions of what I would buy myself if I am looking for something within your budget:

Dress watch ($1.6k):

Dive watch ($1.2k):

However, if u just up your budget slightly more:
