Sorry I did not notice your Budget initially. I don't think there is any Swiss Made Perpetual Calender at that range yet. For your range you can only get something with minimal complication.

If it's not a matter of urgency, save more and hold out for something better. If you're only planning to have one good one especially.

A Submariner can be versatile for casual and business.

A Reverso is subtle and dressy. Another alternative could be a Cartier Tank.

I've never owned a Grand Seiko before. But their finishing and movement although not Swiss Made is also of high quality.

Can't comment much on a Tissot either, but with $10K - you have many varieties of choice if brand is not an issue.

Thanks good bro. I think your this JLC master ultra thin perpetual is above $20k right? For the steel one already close to sgd30k already right? Pls correct me if wrong. And not sure if still can find or not. But definitely its a watch i can aspire for. Will consider to save and hopefully can own it one day.

Quoting a review: "In short, Jaeger-LeCoultre has made this “complicated complication” even more accessible, and done so in an ultra-thin format. Of course we’re still talking perpetual calendar here so this watch is not going to be within reach of everyone. But there is no doubt in my mind that this new Master Ultra Thin perpetual will give many watch enthusiasts out there something they might not have had yesterday — hope. Hope that that they one day might be able to own a perpetual calendar, one of high watchmaking’s more exclusive complications. That’s something to aspire to!"

Ya. You cannot afford. Pls don't buy and smear JLC's name. Pls. For the love of God.

Hahaha ok noted. Pls dont look me down okie. U want hatam me all you like im ok with it. BUT Probably the cash inside my one and only bank account is more than all yours. Im just not familiar with watch brands and knowledge thats all and trying to get more info from bros here. If u not happy u can diam diam also. No need keep hitting out at me. In your own words, you can just ignore me if you really so TL of me.

Sorry, one more question. How does JLC fare in terms of resale value and also the maintenance? Will it be difficult for aftersales service like seiko GS?

 

[slow_mo]

Actually im also looking for something universal all-in-one i can wear to most occasions, mostly for work and also can wear for casual & preferably have perpetual calendar, tourbillon and minute repeater features. Cos to me being able to see the date, day & month on a watch is important. Should be not too dressy, not too diver, not too pilot, not too sporty. Most of the times im stationed in office, but occasionally will get to see clients about a few times every quarter year. They are usually higher mortals like CEO, Kings, prince, sultan, sheiks etc. Appreciate yur advice, oh and below 1k please.

pwillie... I think you have most of these... the challenge is to wear all of them together at the same time!!!

Opppssssss... I didn't see the 1k!!!

 

[ckyc]

My hope is not spend more than $10k to get a upper-middle level watch. I scare scarly turn out to be yet another tissot that gets spoilt within 3 months heartpain. I dont mind throw away $500. But throw away too much i nay not be able to survive from the trauma ordeal.

I always drop or bang my watch, dont think your suggestion can work.

A $10 k budget will get you a very decent watch but IMO it is not enough to get you to a upper-middle level watch.

It will allow you to get a watch with the renown brands like JLC, Rolex, IWC, Panerai but only the stainless steel models. U need to X3 your budget to even reach the base models for AP, PP, ALS.

Just go to Chuan Watch website and see the watches and pricing, its a good source of information on what you can get. Watches is very personal. E.g I used to hate Panerai but recently I just fell in love with it after reading its history, collaboration with Rolex 50 yrs back.

If i were to recommend, i hope you can up your budget by $2k more and get a Rolex GMT BLNR. It will serve you well.

Haha hahahahahahahahaha. Are you like wondergal clone?
Because you really is chui max and obviously we don't need a troll here. Get back to where your cave is la.

Don't buy any watches because anything you wear is a disgrace to the brand. Even DW. Lol. Suck it up bruh

 

[gaoxing84]

Sorry, one more question. How does JLC fare in terms of resale value and also the maintenance? Will it be difficult for aftersales service like seiko GS?

No no no. Don't buy. You're a waste of time and everyone's time.
Which idiot will ask rolex down to GS then to seiko then to gshock and now go back to JLC.
You're not worth wearing those watches.
You're worthless
Lolol trolling

 

[Nakedtoes]

我們姑且先不要理會這段引用是出自誰的回應。
我引用這回應，因為這一段的確反映了一般市民想擁有一隻一生中能戴到人生盡頭的貴錶，但，卻又抱持着這隻錶能在關鍵時刻賣得好回報。

這是一種很矛盾的思想還有期望。為什麼很多人就是不明白鐘錶這玩意兒，是否能夠保值還是升值，都是在靠炒作的嗎？？？

給你們一個現實生活中碰到的例子。。。

有個女親戚，花了大概8000買了一隻二手“十仔（港民給予Sub的一般稱呼）”。錶在外觀上沒有什麼瑕疵，所有證書都在，錶盒，包裝近乎達到新錶的程度。看來這錶或許被原來買主只戴過一兩次就沒再戴了。。。到了我的親戚的手，她也一直沒用到。。。因為她認為她手頭上那幾隻BabyG就能帶出她平時活潑的氣質。
到手數月後，她就拿她的名表上了一家當舖詢問估價，當舖只願意以6000買下。她就傷腦筋了。。。才過了幾個月“而已”就掉了那麼“多”，根本“不保值”嘛。。。

買得了一隻貴錶，或者會叫他人對你刮目相看。買了不用，又會叫些人給你異樣眼光當。。。笨蛋看。。。
想買，想用，又考慮到日後是否會影響保值。。。要是日子過得那困難，不如將錢省下，可用在其他開銷上。何必過得那麼矛盾咧？

我双手赞成！

为何她去當铺？一定被压低。

 

[Henabi]

I dont think this model is cheap right?

You aiming rolex liao... What's JLC in that aspect... lolx

Oh wait... you are aiming relac... ah yah... sorry sorry I r absent minded

 

[Ed.YEO]

我双手赞成！

是她的同事給她出的餿主意。。。
主要在於探查市場能夠給她的一個最低指數。
如果是賣給二手錶商，或許還能提高一點回報。。。但是又有多高咧？

天真的她還以為能夠拿回8000，還是損失5%或者更少。。。唉。。。

mine said hi



BTW how did u change out the rubber strap? I try normal spring bar tools dun work

I used my normal Bergeon spring bar tool to remove the strap. You need to push outwards.. Because there are two pins on each sides of the rubber strap to hold it into place.

I don't see a lot of people selling their JLCs. If you are concerned with value. Only Rolex or Patek will do.

For JLC MUT Perpetual Calender. Steel is about SGD28,000. But the precious metal ones are nice in my view.

Hi guys, are there any 40mm diver watch out there that you guys can recommend? Looking for something affordable, maybe <$600. thanks!
