No lah. Its an automatic.

What is the difference in value between auto and quartz?
*
oops my bad blush.gif
normally auto will fetch more than quartz.
they should have change the dial as well coz the old dial doesn't glow anymore (i presumed).
else it might look weird as only the hands glow.

What you've heard is probably hearsay. Watches are sold at a recommended retail price at authorized dealers in Europe and discount are rarely given in most instances unlike Malaysia where discounts are not only given but expected.

You may save a small amount by obtaining refund on the VAT levied but don't expect the generous 20 to 30% discounts that are the norm in Malaysia.

There is however a bright side to this:- The hot & highly demanded watches ( Rolex sports models , Panerai etc ) are also sold at retail unlike the ridiculous high premiums levied by our retailers here ( eg Rolex Daytona, Deep sea or Milgauss )

Best place to buy these items is in Amsterdam-some authorized dealers reserve the hot watches for their favored customers or may require you to buy another watch ( usually one of the slower moving brands ) in order to be granted the privilege of buying the hot watch.

The best place for watches in Asia is HK. Very good choices & keen pricing too , especially at the high end

Never ever buy a watch on investment purpose.
You be lucky if the watch stays its value, if not lose.

Sincere Pavilion does not stock Patek Philippe. The Stern family who owns Patek are extremely particular on how their watches are displayed right up to the frontage & position. An authorized dealer who sells Patek at one branch does not have the automatic right to sell or stock it in its other branches.

The sun moon & some of the more complicated pieces ( eg minute repeater etc ) cannot be sold to any customer without the express permission of the President of Patek.

Hmm, but I remembered saw some PP in Pavilion. Can't remember is Hour Glass, Sincere or Conrtina though.

It's not really that homage,
it has all their own culture and sense into the timepiece,
embedded the New Zealand and world heritage with some
Kauri woods, that's over 45,000 years of history and now only can be found in New Zealand.

Bro, G-shock hardly got analogue watch. Plus, it ain't that classy. I want something retro-ish. A couple months back, I found one nice espirit but sadly, the seconds calibration wasn't accurate. Let's say when it's 50 seconds, it isn't pointing accurately. It's kind of a heart ache to buy a watch that isn't accurate.

Most of the quartz are the same.
