Hi everyone,

Looking to get a Tag Heuer Aquaracer so hunting around to compare prices.

Say if I were to buy the watch from places like The Hour Glass or Watches of Switzerland, do we usually get the display piece or a brand new piece inside a box? Anything else to look out for?

First time I am splashing so much cash on a watch so need the help of the more experienced people here! :)

買錶雖然是個人的自由,但是沒有仔細研究,第一次買錶就下重本買名牌。。。實在花得非常冤枉。

support microbrand!

SAS was one of the microbrands that pushed the envelope on quality - deserves support.

Every single component of this watch is custom made, nothing is off the shelf, from its crystal locking ring to the anti-magnetic protection. And the price is almost half of what the recommended retail price will be.:s12:

For first time watch buyers. They actually won't go for microbrands.
Usually big brands such as tag and rolex.
Because to them. It's the brand > quality and what not.
Secondly, since spending so much, friends must also know the brand what. If not buy already, friends don't know, how to kinda Haolian?

When the poison gets deeper. Then they will learn and start to appreciate the smaller details and microbrands will appeal to them.

Just a few days ago, Baselworld 2016 released a whole new line of Tudor BBs with in-house movement and riveted bracelet that will soon replace the old line of BBs with the self-winding "smiley" face we have all come to love.

Regarding the Black Bay Black 2015 that was released in October last year, I heard speculations that it is now a collector's watch due to its short production run.

1) Does this mean it will appreciate in value after the new BBs hit the stores?
2) Would you advise getting the old BBB right now or wait till the new BBs reach the stores for a better discount for the old BBB?

Hope to get some advise for my dilemma.

In house vs non in house.
Original rose logo vs shield logo for heritage.
Speculation to increase in price. It's your call. If we know I will go buy all the current models now to keep liao.
