Experience buying online thru them? Shipping? Tracking? Gst?

monitor the price before buying .. the prices always change. But for the lowest available , it will always be the same. monitor what is the lowest price

shipping is damn fast .. order 27th and got it yesterday

send by USPS , tracking is available but sadly GST is collected on the spot by USPS courier upon delivery including $10 admin charge.. must prepare exact amount swee swe .. the courier guy got no change

no need to get first hand lah .. you still young (20s ??) taste will change and will sell it off.. buy 2nd hand don't lose so much .. my first was Tag .. sold after few years to upgrade to Omega (yeah..during my era Omega more sakti than Tag )

buying rolex, omega or Tag second hand can bring to service centre for authentic verification (for a fee of course)

if really want first hand.. its more of the buying process at AD (feeling haolian, satki, enjoying the services etc...) some 2nd hand watches are really in good condition .. HJ can be trust and not bad, bought watch from him before .. can go down jalan jalan take a look and test on your wrist ..

Hmm but first hand guarantee good condition and got warranty and certificate haha, it's just the feeling. They no open on public holiday, wanted to go down later but meh

If I buy 2nd but after that no warranty liao, price also ok to let go? Later no value for 3rd hand

The tiger? Decent. I was looking at them few years back too when i was looking around for a chronograph.

Seem like you still very unsettled. Do you know what you like deep down inside?

A watch is a personal thing. If you like tag go for it despite what we said.

At the end of the day, I am fine wearing a casio 20 dollars watch as well as a calatrava. For me , the price must fit the value of workmanship it brings.

Jw is trusted la. They dun respond via email. Their business so good people queue up for their store to open actually!

 

[nicjer]

Hoot. Mai tu liao

any peektures of the speedmaster that is posioning u?...

It is the good old Speedy Pro. Not a fan of the Racing since I cannot unsee how the subdials sit way at the fringe, though in Panda form got a "fun appeal".

The Pro wears surprisingly thin (ah, the joys of manual and not needing deep-dive level water resistance), not silly sized on the wrist, and very legible.

Or is there something I do not know that means I should channel money elsewhere?

Here's mine. Happy New Year

Happy New Year, and its been a real help. In fact, that's as close as the look on my wrist...

Is yours the Hesalite or Sapphire one? Went to have a look, and the SA only had a Sapphire one on show(for obv reasons). He said the difference is look is "purely academic", or is it worth seeing both just to be sure?

By the way, the exhibition caseback is not a must. I care more about the "look in front".

Hahaha, actually I was settling for first hand Oris yesterday, but after out with friends they told me a good Oris will cost me 2k+ or even 3k, so why not go with something like Ball or Tudor 2nd hand. I was previously quite firm on first hand but after much thoughts I should get 2nd hand and resell it next time as most likely I'll change.

I don't really like Tag F1, and their Carrera I like de too expensive haha.

nothing wrong with 2nd hand. just need to get one in good condition/ reputable seller/ at realistic price.

for tudors i prefer "pre-tiger" versions. they are older but are more classic.

Ya go 2nd hand cause if u flip and sell, yr loss will be lesser.the first owner or subsequent owner already take the depreciation for u.

2k to 3k. Can get used speedmaster. Auto need maintenance every few years. Some mention can just service when the timing is off. Personally, i think to prevent major repair cost is just send in for servicing for a peace of mind.

Yup if I get ill definitely send in for first servicing just in case. Is it send to the manufacturer to service or outside shops will do?

I can't really find good 2nd hand Omega Speedmaster leh, most website doesn't have nice one haha. And carousel abit risky.
