Something to share with y'all. Read it if you are free...

thanks nando for the info you gave..

no problem, if successful deal, dont forget come back, post photos/review and share share to keep this thread strong...

i have visited wattatime MV last week, the staff said can give 18% discount for Tag.. i'm not sure if can stretch more the discount..

so i'm wondering are there any shops than can give around 25-30% for Tag Heuer or Oris watch?

thanks!

My friend bought a Tag in Watatime Sg Wang with a good discount, without receipt though.
Oris usually can get 30% or slightly more, depend you nego power.

to share with u guys what i shot last night

even without receipt from shop I can still claim for warranty if anything happens to the watch right??

occasionally some distributors will insist on the receipt to confirm that it matches the date of purchase stated in the warranty card.

Yes with valid warranty card, shouldn't be any problem.

original from Tag? expensive! I saw a thread somewhere on a rubber strap for tag and it cost SGD$200 or ~RM$500 1-2yrs back. I am sure prices have gone up.

if u are getting a OEM, certain. just check the size and order!

thanks. i'm so far from being able to afford a watch that costs as much as a house, that it's not even funny

phew...lanatir take photos of mega expensive watches is still okay...i just sit back and enjoy the nice shots...


i only careful when he takes shots of Seikos, Casios....he makes them so beautiful that you must go out and buy one...must resist...hahaha

RM 500?? so expensive for a rubber strap!
anyway.. thanks mate 4 d info.

How good is the discount for Tag?

How much can we nego actually?

well, do as suggested from my pm to you...i think you'll be happy...

i heard Tag is quite strict when it comes to retailers offering discount. I've heard of a dealership being revoked from a popular watch shop in Penang due to giving too much discount...so % of discount is a very personal thing...hence the `no receipt' option...

Added on July 13, 2010, 11:00 pmwell, it depends on nego skill, mood of seller and of course models.....some models are easier to let go, some are bound to have buyer sooner and later even if you decided not to buy...

from what i heard, pay by cash, sincerity to buy helps a lot....

sometimes the additional 2-3% not worth it.....my take is if you find a model you like, a shop you are comfortable with and a tauke who is not proud and friendly, go for it even if its slightly more expensive. Watch buying may not be a one off experience..... you may need to return for another one, servicing, strap changing, etc....Kuanxi is very useful...


Me? the shop i buy from here in PEnang dont really offer the lowest price..but i am in a position where i can return a watch and change it for a slightly cheaper model after 3 days...(yes, they will reimburse cash to me....)..so...i think that's not a bad relationship...

its a heavy watch...should try first before purchase...

but then, its quality and lume is of course outstanding!

hey guys,
just checked with uncle google today, indeed TAG quality is much more better compare with Victorinox in terms of lasting, finishing, etc.
mostly who wear TAG time piece face some minor problem like time offset by few minutes even some say hours after 12 YEARS of wearing it.
compare to Victorinox is like heaven and land, which i quite lazy to desribe it out.
in terms of pricing, yes of coz i agree the more money u buy the better quality u get, but for TAG, i personally feel that the money not really worth the value becoz as i think more money actually flows to advertising by those celebrities! as same goes to Seiko time piece.
as for today i went to watch shop, i saw a Victorinox Airboss Mach 6, in professional category cost about RM1500.00 after discount compare to TAG entry level which my friend bought in TAG shop cost RM2k plus TAG Formula One series.
and i've learned that Victorinox don't have genuine leather for its strap. the sales girl told me any genuine strap cost abour RM800.00 at least which i dunno whether is true or not.

As for last thing i would like to thanks patryn33 and Jason for their comments.

cheers!

all watches are beautiful in their own way

lasting? I believe Tag and Victorinox is same same. so long U maintain them they last.
finishing different story.

Tag issue? is that on a Auto or quartz watch? I own a quartz tag for over 12yrs and I didn't find the issue. if its an auto read closely, if they didn't service it for 12+yrs that issue isn't with the watch, but its the OWNER! U can't buy a BMW and drive for 20yrs without oil change!

Victorinox no genuine leather? I find it hard to believe, the cheapo I saw online do come with it. Cow's hide is cheap. I got a genuine leather from HIRSCH and it only cost me ~EUR$40, thats no where near RM800! sales person full of BS!
