The Watch Thread - Part 8

[gaoxing84]

bro where you see the dial in the link?

i cant seems to find it, it appear like he only sell the whole watch but not the parts.

You need email them. Lol end of the day the mod cost can buy the real mm300 but modding is fun.
Decide to keep the seiko dial and hands. Not going to mod anymore.
Maybe next One will be the FFF Midnight blue. Realised I don't have blue watch

What about other watches? APs, Panerais... Pateks??

Didn't enquire about those eh. Actually the price (minus 16.66% VAT refund) for 114060 is even higher than grey dealers' pricing. Have to take into consideration the 2.5% CC fee plus lousier FX rate from banks. That's what I found out for Rolex, at least.

Tudor BB red (bracelet) was going at around SGD3,900 after factoring in VAT refund, FX loss and CC fees. Pretty similar to grey as well.

I'm heading to Isle of Man today. Let's see how UK pricing will be like.

@ahhbbb, you'd have to email him or contact him through his Facebook page for the parts that you want..
@gaoxing bro: haha! Yea.. The mod cost is pretty high, although if one just wants a MM300 look at minimum cost, the mod is still worth it.. Your Kermit looking real good!

Higher? Even taking into account the weak euro? Can't accept list price, must bargain. But Paris demand probably too high.

I paid the equivalent of $1k off grey dealer price for my 114060 in Dec '14. That was in Genoa, Italy.

P.S. Heard that UK pricing sucks because of the pound's exchange rate. Pls help verify!

depends on luck i guess... original price was bargained down to 5,500 (i think list was 6,300 back in Dec '14). my friend was offered explorer 2 at 6000. I told the manager, we buy together, what more can you offer? And he took extra 500 euros off, so total of 11,000 euros for both watches.
