Thanks!

Maybe I should clarify some points. If say some of the nicer nearly new ones (like the ones from Japan around 4200 all in) vs a new one around the 4900 mark, how should I swing?

As for condition, it will be a daily wear, so not too fussed about bracelet scratches, but not interested in a half thrashed example either.

And with regard to local dealers, which are some of the ones to check out, especially those that may say specialize in Speedies?

Which model are you specifically looking at? i realised that in Japan, omega price from 2nd hand shop like jackroad is very competitive. am going there to have a look when i go tokyo later this week..

if you buy a solid caseback speedmaster pro, are you able to switch it to a sapphire display caseback at local swatch service center?

hmm, that i don't know.
never go ask but i doubt it will be cheap.
sorry can't help you there.

Metal bracelet?!?!?!?!?!? OT500!!!

Nah it's rubber strap. Titanium bracelet will be shipped out separately later. I plan to get the black deployant clasp shipped together too. Quite a good deal considering that Steinhart gave us the rubber strap for free.

Hi guys,

I want to buy a Jaeger Le-Coultre (JLC) ATMOS Phase de Lune (Moon phase).

www jaeger-lecoultre com/SG/en/watches/atmos-classique-transparente-phases-de-lune/5145201
(add the dots: I "do not have sufficient post count to post images/links.“

Looking through this thread, I found only little information. Also, the thread is so huge it is impossible for me to read through the complete thread, so I decided to ask directly and hope someone can help me a bit ;-)

Where is the best place to purchase this at lowest cost? I travel occasionally to Malaysia, Japan, or Korea, but I’m not sure what the prices are, as I just started my search.
Also, what are the general negotiation tactics? How to get the biggest discount, and what would that be?

Thanks for your help!
Andre

With the weak yen and comparatively stronger HKD, higher probability of better deal in Japan?

Was in Hong Kong last month looking for the Tudor pelagos, found that it was cheaper in Singapore, which is silly considering that there is no gst in HK

Is this watch worth it? I was thinking of hooting one but I am keeping my options open and did you hoot at gnomon or directly from steinhart?
