Jaben at aldephi level 1 is selling seagull. Some may like it but not me... Won't spend money on Chinese watches

any reason for it? is the build not good? e.g. after few months/years it will spoil?

Anyone can recommend a ladies watch for a small wrist lady. Automatic is preferred or Quartz is fine too.

Budget not sure yet. Probably $300 or lesser?

if your girl is not into watches, she may prefer fashion brand quartz watches

Recently, I came across a young salesman working in a watch shop at Funan.

He leaned forward with an annoyed scowl between his eyebrows and said "do you know the mustafa boss was interviewed by times magazine. He say he don't own any luxury watch, not even a rolex. He very practical, only need a watch to tell time."

The strap running through the watch was about 22mm wide.

I suggested to the salesman that the price offered could be lower, within the confines of his hearing range. He replied that he had been selling watches for a long time and returned to his offered price point. There were watches displayed on both sides of the shop.

While the shop was relatively empty during the off-peak hour, bargaining may not be a safe activity to pursue inside a watch shop.

At times, watch prices lurch when the SGD-USD is moving or halting. If the price is in an upward movement and one is caught unexpectedly by a sudden economic downturn, an involuntary drop in watch demand may cause the purchase to jab at the very heart of the consumer. Heartpain sia..

There will be very serious consequences if the financial loss costs him an arm or a leg or other body part if he could not move away from the transaction in time. How can the distressed consumer seek recourse?

If the OEM rules do not permit giving discounts inside ADs, what is the appropriate action that a concerned fellow WIS can take in such a situation?

By the way, what circumstances warrant the need for a moonphase watch in these modern times?

>_< Just for laughs Friday..

Boss, just an admittedly poor attempt at a lame joke.. poking fun of the said salesman u described in the style of the "sewing on mrt" joke here. Not meant to make any sense at all and definitely no raw nerves or offence meant..

My apologies for misunderstanding, didn't read abt the sewing incident. Anyway deleted that post. Thanks for the clarification. Cheers bro!

Just acquired my first watch box today and here's my current small collection which is made up of mainly G-Shocks. I've got another Swatch Irony 'Body and Soul' not in here as it's back at my parents' place and the watches here have also not been adjusted for quite some time as I mainly wear the Apple Watch.

good good..noticed got tag heuer
