@patryn
Emailed d but no reply from them @@ and in the website still stated in brackets "(Pre-order for Mid November)"...i guess the postphoned the release date again coz laz month b4 i made the purchase it is written "(Pre-order for Early November)"

hi patryn33, RRP +33% off + 5% off does not equate RRP + 38% off.

math as below:
RM20,000 @ 33% discount = RM13,400
RM13,400 @ 5% discount = RM12,730
RM20,000 @ 38% discount = RM12,400

i believe @drewin actually means 33% plus 5% off. hope that helps.

according to what he wrote RRP + X% + Y% does == RRP + (X+Y)%
I believe he meant (RRP * (1-x%)) * (1-Y%), with the proper brackets
I take RRP (must be over 20K) - 20K then get 38%

there are different grades for stainless steel, they maybe using the lower end of the spectrum.

anyway interesting read on stainless steel and corrosion.

@patryn33: don't really understand the below-
I take RRP (must be over 20K) - 20K then get 38%

in any case, most salespersons will say RRP plus 33% plus 5% (discount).
so i think what @drewin said is exactly what was told to him if he did mention RRP * X% * Y% == RRP * (X% + Y%), then i must have missed it! my bad!

sorry for the misunderstanding...
Graham RRP 20K and will get discount 33% + 5%.

@drewin: no issues, mate

been wanting one ever since i laid eyes on this....

luminor composite PAM386



goodness me. so far out of budget, too

luckily din go wasting time only
25%-33% is not considered sales at all as this rate, we can easily get it outside (correct me if i am wrong).

Hi All, i am planning to ask my fren help me to buy a watch from Switzerland or maybe other Europe country.

my budget is 200-300 (euro), pls recommend?

Please refer to page 1, plenty of choices.

Do any of you guys know about Invicta watches? are they good? Thinking of getting one of them for my dad, it's on sales on amazon right now.

Decent watch I guess. Most of their designs are copy from other major brands.
I would rather get a Seiko myself.

More information and review here,

I rather get a Seiko or Orient.
if u have more money try CW or UHR.

come on bro, you can make it

while waiting for nomos, I got this

Which Nomos are you getting patryn? Thought you are getting Stowa Antea?

gave up on stowa. if I am paying for a soprod A-10 Antea (EUR$620) might as well get a nomos ludwig date manual. or course price is ~2X.
in house movement, decorated movement, over 70% of watch is make in germany.

somehow I am not finding the stowa 365 soprod A-10 advertise on their site.
