that Pam homage cost ~300RM iirc, the real think at least 12,000 RM. the one CK77 put is no longer in production. if U do find it it would be used and chances are pirce not any lower than RM$10K. although when its new it cost alot less.

how to get invited to LVMH? U need to be working at LVMH or know a fren that work that. a fren can bring a guest.

Longines women? LOL... U better give a eyes a good rub and put some drops to clear things up.. hehehe

Like patryn said, the watch is homage for Pam 3646 below, produced by Rolex, used by Italian Navy during WWII.

It is near impossible to find an used and original state Pam 3646. If yes, they usually fetch a hefty amount of dollars in auction.

p/s: please don't confuse between homage with fake. Homage is paying tribute to certain watch (copycat without violate the copyright). Whereas fake is counterfeit you usually found in Petaling Street.

Epos produce too many homages and neglect their own DNA somehow, IMHO.

really?  whats their DNA? I didn't realize they make way to many homages. care to share some examples?
http://www.epos.ch/collection/gents/gents.htm

I mean DNA is their own design. They used to have a sub homage.
Few examples that I can see under their current collection in "Sportive"
Ref.3396 = sea dweller
Ref. 3398 = iwc 3717

own design many times != sales.
classic/timeless design like those ppl take it as homage. so many brands offer design like ref 3398.
ref 3365 U can say copy from Fortis.. then Fortis may copy from XYZ.
Ref. 3336 copy from Oris? I am sure some other brand have the same look, who started it its hard to trace.
open heart concept copy from Frederique Constant, just that they are unknown brands unlike Rolex/IWC/Pam no one really scream HOMAGE!  tongue.gif

they offer over 80 different design for men under their brand. thats huge. even Longines/Oris/Tissot don't make offer such a big collection.
if U say they lack for focus, I buy that.
not many entry level brands focus on their own design. design that change too freq often result in poor resale value or just out of fashion.
10-15yrs ago Oris are cheap, their "DNA" was their WW2 watches.  today's marketing prices of their watches went up by 4-5X. an entry level tag only go up by ~2-3X. those WW2 watches, not even sure who copy from who..  rclxub.gif
*
Ya agreed man, think lack of focus is more proper word.
For newer brand, I think Ball is true to its design.

Not really, watches here are tax free. Patryn might able to answer this better (luxury watch price in US).

Hmm looking to get one of those Pilot B-uhr inspired watches..

So which brand offers the best value?

Christopher Ward? ..And some of those other German brands like Stowa, MkII, Archimede, Steinhart, etc

Sinn is a bit more premium than these right?
*
Depends on your budget.

Laco - original maker, cheapest (Miyota), pilot strap
Steinhart - good review, value for money, big though (44mm)
Archimede - read not bad review, only got A dial (?)
Stowa - most expensive alll above, prepare to wait and paid vat, good quality, original maker
Sinn - not produciing pilot b

that's all i can think of.

Hmm Laco doesnt seem to have much choices and yeah Stowa is most ex

I m quite interested in either Steinhart or Archimede...Steinheart is ok and cheaper but doesnt seem to have a Date model

CW is cheapest albeit no watchmaking history as the rest smile.gif

Any other brands i havent look at?
