What a way to start a watch collection!

No issues with buyers. I sold watch via WUS to Norway, Vietnam and us. It's the shipping that gives prb. Esp signpost I try to factor in paypal fees n int'l shipping in my asking price for easier deals.

How much does all the extra shipping etc etc cost?

So I should factor that in my selling price?

Thank you my brothers. Unfortunately not very keen on ALS or VC. I always wanted a Patek 5167 though or a Master Ultra Thin by Jaeger-LeCoultre, maybe 2017 (target)

Ofrei shipping can be a killer if you only buy a single item.

Hehehe...

I think Rolex also has something like that. Didn't noticed on my previous 114060 but see it on my 116600

Hi everyone. Where can we go for basic servicing like oiling and cleaning for luxury watches like Rolex and panerai? I only heard of K2 but he seems to be only doing jap brands like seiko.

I prefer some place that charge reasonable prices and have experience in luxury watches

Wow read quite a few anti-IWC sentiments, I had the same thoughts as you guys a few years back but I changed my mind earlier this year and fell in love with IWC watches. But anyways I respect everyone's preferences.

I'm also into Maurice Lacroix watches, there is this masterpiece gravity sincere edition with the dark blue dial. Placed a deposit to hold the watch while I ponder over it. Anyone has it and care to share your comments on the watch?

Oh well, I guess they don't understand IWC or brands alike. What they see are just over-priced modified ebauche watches. Its easy to come up with those so-called evaluation points, like history, in-house movements, resale value etc. Few can appreciate the very fact that companies that strive to invest in and innovate complicatons, such as perpetual calender, minute repeater, tourbillion etc, are actually serious and passionate watch makers and IWC is one of them. Not saying brands like Rolex, Omega or Panerai are not passionate but that to me, if you are true watch aficionado and not some wannabe, is something to consider as well. And as much as production numbers don't mean anything to many, one reason behind why some brands have extremely high numbers is precisely because they leverage watch movements (in-house/modified/standard) largely, which are easily incorporated into their auotmated production line. High production numbers also mean the production costs are lower.

So, exclusivity for the sake of exclusivity, maybe not.

^ end of the day. Those with ultimate complications are usually out of reach Haha.

So. Just take a chill pill and enjoy what we have. What we like. As long it's a watch. Don't matter if it's eta, modified eta or in house. Haha. Just appreciate whatever is done by the brand you like.

Can't afford. This within reach (stainless steel)

K2 没做Rolex与Panerai的洗油服务？ 这就奇了。。。

So true. That's why I love Seiko watches, they just resonate with me.

the stainless steel bracelet version or the rubber strap version for the 5167?

 

[xuan87]

Was on carousell browsing aimlessly. Saw someone selling a Seiko SRP641 Shrouded Monster and the seller said can modify with FFF face and hands! A photo was included. Never considered that possibility before!
