QUOTE(~Guyver~ @ Aug 12 2010, 11:10 AM) Bro, can any 1 recommend alternative watch instead of longines hydroconquest? cause my cousin thinking to get the same model... =.='''''' head burst... Based on the general design of hydroconquest, have you tried looking at the Ball series? or even a Sinn diver (ahem ahem)? Tags have loads of design as well. However, most lines in these brands have nothing to shout about when it comes to movement, unless you want to go for very expensive ones... Added on August 12, 2010, 11:33 am QUOTE(eXPeri3nc3 @ Aug 12 2010, 10:47 AM) Lol, I already gotten a new Crocodile watch that cost RM260 look at it as the price drop if its pre-own, to your advantage as potential next owner.  I won't go for high end brands just yet... I don't see a point yet (not luxurious enough to acquire one). Hmm, but wouldn't the watch value drop significantly if it's a preown one? if its a model you really like + its good condition + reasonable price, there is nothing to value about when it comes to value. Nowadays, whatever not related to property you sell after owning will be lower in value... but those high end rare timepieces like PP, AP, VC are different story....

QUOTE(patryn33 @ Aug 17 2010, 07:16 PM) Ball has found their way. the 1st few offering also simple design. this tax is charged when pay at counter?Added on August 18, 2010, 11:17 am not really. if U shop at outlet it maybe be cheaper. looking at the example.. 25% off MSRP is normal. 35% off alittle cheaper but with tax, may not be worth it. most of the time is more expensive. Do your research well b4 u go. eg http://www.premiumoutlets.com/outlets/sale...=7#centerevents |

QUOTE(Dannyl @ Aug 25 2010, 10:58 PM) Any automatic diving watches to recommend at about RM500? I know at this price my choices are limited to Japs but I don't mind. Saw the popular Seiko SKX007 but at 42mm it's bit too big for my 6.3" wrists. I'd prefer 38mm thereabouts, 40mm can too. Thanks. Besides the Jap models...doubt you can get an auto diver at this price...try roachman.com and you can have idea of brand and price range there... |

QUOTE(thteong82 @ Aug 28 2010, 09:39 AM) Nando, thanks for the shop. Managed to get a watch from them. Very friendly especially the old uncle. congrats! Between, what is the technology behind Seiko wall clock that have quiet second hand sweep? It's quite cheap on many model. can share which model? pics? pricing good? Added on August 30, 2010, 10:32 am QUOTE(patryn33 @ Aug 29 2010, 10:13 PM) get a pre own omega mid size quartz.. can find very cheap There was a pre-owned Speedmaster for sale few months back in a local shop..not sure if still available..owner of shop emailed me...My friend got a brand new Orange PO for about 8k in a clearance sale at HourGlass end of last year...huge discount...it was the orange leather version... Added on August 30, 2010, 10:34 am QUOTE(patryn33 @ Aug 30 2010, 01:16 AM) do report whats their prices after discount. yeah...Louis Erard do have some eye catching design...their 1931 series is very seductive...but only if there is a good discount..stowa and Christopher ward only can be bought online. some ppl waited for a Stowa LE for like 1yr+ and they are still waiting. As Jorg is a jeweler at heart. he makes his watches like making a piece of jewelery. today I usually get them online. there is a stowa cult in SG http://www.wristlounge.com/showthread.php?t=378 http://www.wristlounge.com/showthread.php?t=24 or try http://www.autran-viala.de/DE/Cartouche.htm# since U are in SG, U should check out JW watch, at times Louis Erard goes for sale as much as 60% off! http://www.jwwatch.com/showpro.asp?cat=142 eg this was sold at 70% off for just SGD$485!  i was eyeing this one but was too late http://www.jwwatch.com/showpro_details.asp?id=12&cat=142 This post has been edited by nando: Aug 30 2010, 10:37 AM |

QUOTE(andrewlimkn @ Aug 30 2010, 08:50 PM) Anyone heard of Junkers and has any comments? Apparently they specialise in aviation type of watches i think got some info in this thread..but you need to browse through one by one...» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « but if you like aviation, sifus here will advice you on Lacos or perhaps Archimedes...more `original' pilot design... Added on August 30, 2010, 11:12 pm QUOTE(thteong82 @ Aug 30 2010, 07:52 PM) EPOS - 3396. Dial only a bit different from Submariner. yeah....price not the best but sometimes, service more important.....i've returned a lady Seiko before 3 days after purchase and went for a cheaper model (wife dont like the design of first one..)...the nice gentleman no question asked....changed for me and give me back the extra cash! Now aiming Japanese movement, surveying SPB001J1. That shop don't have the model, if not sure would purchase from them.  Instead, brought a clock and a ladies watch from them, love their service, although pricing is not the best in town.  Moreover, saw duniajam (from MWF) at the shop. He went there take a few watch photo.  you saw dunia jam huh? i better check his blog...hehehehe This post has been edited by nando: Aug 30 2010, 11:13 PM |

QUOTE(ck77 @ Sep 3 2010, 05:01 PM) nando, not intereasted ah? hehehehe...good price...i think this one normal is almost 15k? some mwf forummers said iwc mark 16 spitfire bracelet selling for 10k after discount but IWC spitfire i dont quite find interesting....i prefer the pilot chronograph...the one worn by hero in 2012....that one my grail... anyway, saving up in case my friend wants to let go his orange PO! Added on September 4, 2010, 10:49 pm QUOTE(pepper99 @ Sep 4 2010, 12:38 AM) Sorry what i meant was do we do the shopping through the website ? have you checked out the Sinn series?I have made up my mind to eliminate tissot.. I would prefer something rather rare in the sense that not easily be bought from retail shops.. in this case CW will be a good choice ? I prefer leather straps and mechanical.. chrono with super-luminova if possible.. but the c8 pilot is not chrono.. had a look at steinhart.. the watches there are good as well.. do they ship to all countries ? thanks for the input !
