The Watch Thread - Part 9

so now is a good time to buy?

4680 is the list price?

whats the normal % discount at AD?

search for pre-owned online.
tons of people are offloading. haha for the new one.
i am keeping mine for sure.

i see 3-3.5k for the black one bracelet.

usually they can 8-15% depending lor. maybe more now. can try

What I've read on FC has been overwhelmingly positive, just that most of the designs don't quite appeal to me

That's what i thought so too.. I eventually bought the FC Runabout Moonphase LE based on the +ve reviews and never regretted it!

i suppose when the new bb is released, the current one will be discontinued? price will drop?

discon, having 2 is gonna cannibalise each other. its a new replacement for the entire line of blackbay.

likely sold out no more, i think pre-owned market will go up like the old 2 line pelagos

so now is a good time to buy?

4680 is the list price?

The old tudor BB will definitely discon. From what i've heard from the ADs there might be one last batch of the older version.

At least 10% is possible depending on the individual ADs...

The blackbay black should be the most rare? Like 2-4 months production/sales period only

Naise!!!
actually had always wanted to get a FC but cant bring myself to commit to a watch with so much lousy reviews & bad aftermarket value..

Didn't know about the lousy reviews when I bought it. Bad aftermarket value doesn't concern me.

I like the design and it ain't expensive... That's why I bought it.

the new bb is fugly.

lost identity. don't know wanna be vintage or modern. epic fail.

这才是玩錶的精神嘛！！！
不理会是否能保值，不理会他人是否会贬低，自己喜欢，自己开心！

Yeah, would agree there r also a lot of gd reviews from the watch blogs/websites against those forum comments..resulted in abit of mixed feelings.

However, after seeing so many FC supporters here would change my perception.

what Ed.YEO say also correct la...juz get what u like, who cares abt those views of value..Moreover FC watch nt tht ex also..lol!!

Cheers
