The Watch Thread - Part 7

[slow_mo]

TGIF! Indoor playground with my toddler.

Used to go Kids Amaze every Friday with my younger boy when my older boy is having lessons. No more recently as my younger boy also starts his lessons.

Anybody has comments on Frederique Constant? Prices quoted on their website is consistent with our retailers?

Nobody knows?

Or all only know watches that cost more than 30k or rolex or tag?

Last time Yatto got direct hotline with AD staff, can ask for you.

Nowadays most of us buy from grey etc, don't have this lobang. Maybe ask Triste.

Hi guys,
Quick question, I've got a Sinn 157 and I'm exploring the possibility of ordering some parts for it, specifically a new case and new set of hands.
I emailed Sinn directly and they told me to go through our local ADs, so that would be THG. What I've been told when I went to the branch is that I have to leave the watch there in order for them to process the parts order.

I'm a bit tentative about this, so I'm just wondering:
1. How is THG's service in general (worried about damage to the watch while in their care)
2. Anything I need to take note before I leave it there?

Thanks!

Nothing to hide. I paid $38,800 for it.

The asking price was $39,800. At first he refused to go below $39k, but I said I'm gonna walk away if I don't see 38 in the number. He relented.

Wow freaking good price... Looks like patek price lower now..

Not familiar with the lingo, sorry.
Who or what is Yatto? Grey meaning secondary markets?

Yatto is yattokame (one of the forumers).

Grey dealers are people who bring in brand new watches from overseas to sell in local market.

Actually one of the best way is to go to the local FC dealer (hour glass? Sincere?) and strike up a relationship with one of the sales staff. For smaller brands will be difficult for us to advise. Can also check chrono24 as a pricing guide since europe prices are known to be amongst the lowest in the world.

Most grey dealers (grey because not "black market", but also not "white") get watches from Europe. Portugal, Italy etc are popular sources because of higher VAT rebate.

Hi to the Lao jiaos, I'm planning a trip to Italy and planning to buy an omega watch there, any one has any recommendation on where to buy and what to look out for?

I actually know someone in SZ who can get it for me. Under the impression that this would be the cheapest.

limited edition, only 500 made, pricing ard 2000usd? or maybe lower.

dont think you can find a brand new one

 

[jase07]

Hahahahaha, i am thinking Shenzhen for SZ. If its very cheap from Shenzhen, u probably gotta check the watch.

The chrono hands were replaced recently, so now the timekeeping hour/minute hands are a bit faded compared to those. Just checking as it's a minor thing, I'm more interested in changing to the newer version of the case.

Search Ebay.
