QUOTE(bearbear @ Sep 23 2010, 04:29 AM) im in the uk right now and would have to pay VAT if i order here, any problem with the custom of Malaysia if i buy in from Malaysia instead? If you have it sent to the UK from Malaysia, you may be liable for taxes when it comes into the UK |

QUOTE(deriku @ Oct 2 2010, 12:37 PM) Was on the fence between getting a used ETA 7750 and a Flieger watch (in consideration were Steinhart and Laco). Finally pulled the trigger on the Laco Miyota B when I saw it being made available on the Laco website. Good choice-Let's see some wrist shotsFactors that encouraged the purchase included the history of Laco as well as the entry level cost for a B-uhr, not to mention ck77's review of the watch some time ago. Absolutely love the design and built quality of the watch. Model AACHEN, Miyota 821A movement, logo on dial. Noticed that the logo says "Laco 1925" (2011 design?) instead of "Laco by Lacher" as I observed in most pictures. [attachmentid=1812519] Black faux leather gift box. [attachmentid=1812522] Comes with original Flieger strap as spare strap. [attachmentid=1812526] Leather strap is really thick! [attachmentid=1812528] IMHO a great watch for those new to Fliegers. |

QUOTE(deriku @ Oct 2 2010, 03:29 PM) As requested Thanks for sharing-Good buy [attachmentid=1812811] 42mm case sits nicely on the wrist. [attachmentid=1812813] Lume shot. Lume is good though not really long-lasting. [attachmentid=1812810] |

QUOTE(patryn33 @ Oct 9 2010, 09:20 AM) iirc its on SW 220 (some view as a cheaper replacement of ETA 2836), nothing special about it. Nice-What prices do they go for & where can one buy them?after discount maybe ~3.7k some model of Louis Erard are better, its mod by Soprod (used to mod the famous Panerai) anyway, I would rather pay for for a Guinand series 20 chrono or Stowa. maybe a Damasko, ice harden case that resist scratch and a soft iron core that protect against magnetism. http://www.damasko.de/eng/index.html Added on October 9, 2010, 9:45 amLooking for a German watch, look like I can only afford nomos. From the AD here their production is very low watches that AD does not carry often has a wait of 3mths. In Glashuttle, germany only has these 4 major watch makers. the rest like Union, Muhle seem to use only ETA. soehnle uhren seem to make their own movements but I believe production is very small. http://www.soehnle-uhren-shop.de/Shop/ anyone saw this stunning German watch! http://forums.watchuseek.com/f8/well-my-dr...day-455857.html   |

QUOTE(blasto @ Oct 11 2010, 10:14 AM) Hi WIS If you can lay your hands on the Zenith movement Daytona, yes. How much is daytona SS in AD vs. pre-owned ? Is it worth buy new or pre-owned ? Buy in Malaysia or SG cheaper ? lastly is daytona SS worth buying ? thx  It's one of the great sports watches & very collectable, especially the black face SS version |

QUOTE(blasto @ Oct 12 2010, 12:01 PM) I am afraid the zenith daytona movement are more expensive to service/maintain/rapair, problem might occour in future parts needs special order & ppl RSC can't repair. Kindly correct me, if im wrong.. Not sure about that but it holds it's value better than the Daytona with the in house Rolex movement. no intention to hurt zenith daytona collectors.. In any event, the prices they were quoting for a Daytona in Malaysia & Singapore is obscene. 50% mark up etc. The only place I 've come across Daytona's sold at list price is Amsterdam. If you have any friends traveling there ask them to pick one up for you, preferably the black face SS version. |

QUOTE(patryn33 @ Oct 13 2010, 10:03 AM) buy an expensive watch and bash around? U work on oil rig and bash against heavy equipment or have it run thru Navy Seals kinda treatment? To add to this :- Rolex Centre does a verification service for a nominal fee so if you would like to verify if the pre-owned Rolex is genuine, you can ask the seller to meet you there for the centre to conduct an on the spot verification exercise. If the seller is selling a genuine item & a buyer is willing to pay immediately after the verification exercise, it should not be an issue.no rolex can servive heavy bashing or go under a tank. want to do that get a quartz beater, why get a Rolex daytona and attempt to beat it to death? preown dealer, go to respectable ones some actually service them or at least inspect them. Added on October 13, 2010, 11:46 am QUOTE(blasto @ Oct 13 2010, 07:59 AM) patryn33 ... im quite a basher. i think zenith daytona hard to get furthermore a pre-owned model takut previous owner never service/basher etc. i prefer the white dial, coz the black rings nice. For very high end watches ( Patek etc ) HK probably has the best prices.i saw once in mudah, ss white zenith going for abt 22k .. miss that boat.  beau ... 50% that's damm alot. Ok I put in a note to my friend if going there for year end crazy street party. any other country getting a rolex cheap ? (wanted to ask him get some pre-love sports, sell here & earn abit cukup) He usually go ID, CN, TW, EU If the Zenith Daytona is genuine, RM22K is a good buy. Few of the aircrew (pilots/stewardess) make a living acting as professional shoppers buying items in countries where they are cheaper for re-sale their home country. I once saw a pilot buy 3 Deepsea divers ( old stock) in one purchase! On hindsight I should have bought one too as the shop was clearing stock & prices rose significantly when the new version was launched. Added on October 13, 2010, 11:49 am QUOTE(rockdaman @ Oct 13 2010, 10:16 AM) I am only studying on rolex models not sure about other brands. Japan is not cheap & the highly collectable watches ( black face Daytona, Explorer,Deep Sea) are difficult to come buy.From the choices u provided only germany is cheapest after VAT refund. Another cheaper place to get rolex is at japan: http://www.u-s.co.jp/ http://www.jackroad.co.jp/ http://www.909.co.jp/ --> high quality 2nd hand with offer 3 - 12 years warranty we can get 5% tax refund as well from japan.
