YOs!

am gonna get a dress watch around 5-6k budget (after discount) that is. usually shops give 20-30% so we can start at that retail value before discount.

I just bought a seiko sndb27p1 to add to my collection but now going after another dress watch

guys, care to give any recommendations?

i have in mind a maurice lacroix but i can't find the model on the website..

looking at a different brand
seiko is not exactly the "up market" brand



ahha but that IS a nice watch

You have no idea. You're looking at the Lexus of Seiko.

What is the price range for maurice lacroix?

This post has been edited by calvinloke: Oct 10 2009, 01:26 PM

depends whihc model u want? they do have really expensives ones and thjeir entry level ones as well..

Entry level ones. Of course, a fully mechanical.

where are you getting your maruice from?

yea this is the one i was initially planning to get :

starhil i guess. they offer 30%. the workers in watchshop in one utama seirously pisses me off. well mayb coz i'm still a student. talk to me like one kind. at least the guy in starhil is much more helpful. i dont know if 1u is cheaper but i'm sure i wont buy anything from there. freaking stuck up store assistants spoils my mood. hahaha

LOL >_< which one? not the boss right?

if not mistaken 1u watchshop was 5.1k after discount. but i'm still going to check it out at other places.


there's on leather strap at 1u. only steel strap.

starhill has it?

This post has been edited by Salience: Oct 10 2009, 05:17 PM

there is a maurice lacroix outlet in starhill. the guy there is really helpful... i think i am getting it there. the price is around there i think.. coz i plan to get the leatehr strap one so mayb its alittle cheaper.

difinitely not the boss... i go there ask them some questions they also like simply answer me. and they give me that " can you leave already i know you got no money to buy" look. haha. really anoying.

why not use tag heuer? that watch is great

wah really rich guy rebrith!

tag heuer carrera? i was thinking asbout that watcha s well but i think its too common. well atleast for me ler... most of my friends own one

http://clockmaker.com.au/iwc.html
IWC Portofino Automatic watch suits your need
http://clockmaker.com.au/zenith.html
a little over your budget but those are great watches

Rolex is a great, top-of-the-line brand for watches are far as I know.

not too far then..

haha.. some of the shops like that. But I've good experience with Watchshoppe/Zurich Timepiece. The staff usually very friendly even when I was wearing jean and selipar. Love to chat with them about Ball's and Tag's watches.

KLCC TISSOT FAT FAGGOT ACTS THE SAME WAY! DON'T GO THERE UNLESS YOU WALK IN LOOKING LIKE A RICH MAN..

lol. will go to wtahcshop this weekend to give it a try.

black dial. 7 g's. all the way from 23k retail. quite a catch

Added on October 19, 2009, 10:22 pmthere is one exactly like the seiko u posted. 3-4k after discount

This post has been edited by Salience: Oct 19 2009, 10:22 PM

ML or Seiko?

ML looking like the seiko.

I suppose you'll be wearing the watch to sleep tonight?

hahahahahah that's an overstatement i'm just admiring the watch from afar LOL

suddenly my seiko doesn't look so sparkling anymore AHHAHAHAH

got this exact one? paid only 7k? 70% off?

where u got it from? can share? interested.!

oh... not gotten your watch yet? interested in ML... non chrono?

it came out in the newspapers guys

about the maurice lacroix bday thing.

if ur bday is between mid oct to jan 2010, u are entitled to X amount of discount where X is your age. i used my mum's bdate and got that amount. (maximum discount allowed is 50% anyway), so if you're like 25 years old and shop default discount is 30%, u still get 50% off. each person is only entitled one.

AFAIK, alot of shops are not participating in this program because of the ridiculous discount given so there is no particular indicator of which shops have or carry the same promotion

patrynn: yes got that exact one. DEFINITELY a catch. if i had more cash, i would definitely buy 1 more LOL now i wish my bonus came early and it was 6.9k to be exact

need 1 more person to help me buy 1 more LOL.

wanna get this one; which looks like the seiko



only 3k+ if not mistaken AFTER discount

This post has been edited by Salience: Oct 20 2009, 08:19 AM

ok.. so if i'm 16... and the current discount is 30% i'l get 46% discount?

where did u buy it? starhill? and when how long does it last?

bought it in pj ss2

promotion is mid oct until jan 2010

yes correct. if the default shop discount is 30% and u are 16, u get total 46%. but if the shop discount is 0% but u are 60 years old, u get 50% still. (max is 50%) but dun wry. just get someone with max age LOL because the shop will require IC for proof and will photostat because need to send back to distributing company. it doesn't matter who registers for the watch for warranty. they just need to attach IC of someone. so if the IC holder is MR TAN, and u are MR NG, it is also fine.

ss2 got shop sell ML meh?

promotion is only for Masterpiece collection and ends Jan 2010, can save up for next few mths and get another!
Can show a pic of the display back of your Masterpiece Jours Retrogrades?

seem ML took a hit on the bad Econ.. a definate catch for a Masterpiece collection.
I would really love the Maurice Lacroix Masterpiece Reveil Globe Alarm.


This post has been edited by patryn33: Oct 20 2009, 11:34 PM

if my bday passed can i still get the promotion? my bday is around 2x october.

wow.. u guys are rich kids..
can afford to buy such expensive watch

there's a difference between rich kids and working adults.

yeap. i used IC bday in november to buy watch in october also can

kk. thanks bro!

let us knwo what watch u pick up

Holy crap... 7k for that watch. Too good to be true. wtf.

I am only aiming for Glycine. I like simple faces but amazing ones like your ML, lol... I wouldn't mind buying if I had the cash.

so humble Glycine watches aren't cheap either than can cost up in the range of US$10K

Nah... Those in the range of US$10K has designs that doesn't appeal to me so its a good thing lol..
Their lower ranged models are far from that price. Just visited The Hour Glass in Gardens. I also like the fact that not many ppl own Glycine watches.

true, U can easily afford an entry level watch new from grey market at prices somewhere around US$350.
ebay better prices starts from US$120 new!

Just bought ML masterpiece squelette rm 14650. thanks to you.

this below? looks darn cool!

Yes

care to share your review on it?

please see www.limautambun.blogspot.com for photos taken. Review and story will come later probably today.

you mean that's the price you paid AFTER discount? whoa

really big buy there

the ML masterpiece squelette featured in ur blog looks rather old/unpolished or is it js the lens effect of ur camera?

Nah, the picture taken at night with my 3 years old camera. I'll try to capture better image.

i think seiko is good for me..
for me laa...
less budget,less quality

cool! i'll be awaiting the new snapshots of ur watch

---

Added on December 21, 2009, 12:29 pmhey...i dun think it's quite right of u to mock Seiko in that way. Seiko has very wide range of watches with wide range of prices. the high end entry Seiko is definitely not cheap. In fact, i never did consider Seiko as less quality watch


This post has been edited by davc: Dec 21 2009, 12:29 PM

seiko not good quality meh...
u should read the article on tag heuer using Seiko movement.
and mind U, those seiko watches carrying that movement cost no less than US$3K at retail!
who knows maybe future tag carrera will carry a seiko movement!

This post has been edited by patryn33: Dec 21 2009, 12:33 PM

Wow how come the straps are so shiny?
