QUOTE(agent_orange @ Jul 13 2010, 01:44 PM) 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.. My friend bought a Tag in Watatime Sg Wang with a good discount, without receipt though.so i'm wondering are there any shops than can give around 25-30% for Tag Heuer or Oris watch? thanks! Oris usually can get 30% or slightly more, depend you nego power. |

QUOTE(nando @ Jul 17 2010, 04:47 PM) thanks guys for the educating posts and articles... Nope, Lemania Cosmonaut Chorno is normal edition. There are few versions of it. There are 2 units there which is 40mm in diameter.ck...from what i read in forum, the Fortis Lemania is a rare watch, and if not mistaken, a LE too......Emotus selling it so cheap? There do have another one LE with some arts design on the dial. I think not much people appreciate or have knowledge about Lemania 5100, thus can't sell so well here. |

QUOTE(beau @ Jul 21 2010, 11:18 AM) Bamfords & some of the watch customizers on line seem to offer versions without the crown guard but in PVD black. The prices they charge are astronomical. Actually you can buy parts and build yourself. But it will be the franken watch and not original. Try google yuki watch.The other possible project is to take an existing day date and change the dial to a "California dial" which may make things interesting. Not sure if anyone can do this locally |

QUOTE(nando @ Jul 21 2010, 01:03 PM) hehehee..direct order from Sinnwatches.... How much damage plus shipping? The selling is EUR999 huh?waited for anyone to go Frankfurt and get the 19% discount.....but no one went... so just took the plunge la...it was a toss between Ball Diver and U1... i have a feeling it will be too big for my puny wrist but who cares..hahahahahaha did my online order few days ago....waiting for Fedex to ship...strangely, Singaporeans are flipping used pieces for about RM4.4-RM4.8k.....while all in, it cost me abt same to get new from Germany......(wonder if there's hidden cost i am not aware of... QUOTE(beau @ Jul 21 2010, 02:24 PM) Thanks for the tip-Could be a start of a new hobby Great ambitious project beau I studies Yuki's website against the prevailing prices for a similar model Submariner in good condition sold at auctions. If I were able to procure all the parts & build the watch myself , it would be significantly cheaper than buying an existing pre own model. I would need to buy a watch building kit from Ebay to get started. Another watch worthy of this project would include the Paul Newman Daytona & The Steve McQueen Explorer with the Orange arrow. Any further information or sources you have on this would be appreciated You will need all the correct parts and genuine Rolex movement to build though, if using ETA then will consider fake, IMHO. |
