QUOTE(hanz079 @ Mar 15 2011, 10:17 PM) One more thing about ordering frm Damasko Direct is that certain models can be asked to do custom engraving on the back. That is damn cool if you ask me... Wow, didn't know that  It come with a cost I presumed.
Added on March 15, 2011, 10:58 pmQUOTE(hanz079 @ Mar 15 2011, 07:39 PM) Damasko Direct.Basic Damasko DA37/37 selling for EUR799 - 19% VAT = EUR647.19 + EUR120 for shipping = EUR767.19 x 4.27 = RM3275.90 (rm201.10 difference) I think you calculate it wrongly. i.e. Basic Damasko DA37/37 selling for EUR799 / 1.19 VAT = EUR671.43 + EUR120 for shipping = EUR791.43 x 4.27 = RM3379.41This post has been edited by ck77: Mar 15 2011, 10:58 PM |

QUOTE(hanz079 @ Mar 16 2011, 12:06 AM) Yeah, Eur60 for Engraving... Is that how the less VAT is calculated? I calculate as 799 minus 19%.... that's what I punch in the calculator. Coz Nadja did not specify. Her reply was, just deduct 19% for taxes. So should it be 799 divide by 1.19 or 799 minus 19%? Would be list divided by 1.19 |

@patryn, yes 19% based on my previous experience (Laco and a strap from Germany) And my strap is shipped by registered airmail.
@hanz, glad can help. I would say go for Gnomon coz of ready stock. Unless you want special engraving :-)

QUOTE(hanz079 @ Mar 16 2011, 11:22 AM) 20% was the special for opening day? Can't help but thinking can push the discounts to 30% if I'm there at the shop cash ready...  Wishful thinking.... I don't think so, but no harm trying.  |

Added on March 17, 2011, 10:26 pmQUOTE(Xp3rT @ Mar 17 2011, 10:20 PM) flieger from Laco,Steinhart,Achimene,Aristo and Stowa.Which one u guy will choose?? For closest to historical, Laco. Stowa is also one of the big 5 flieger maker during WWII. Finishing the best but also pricey. Stenihart is newer brand, reasonable price and having good review. I find Achimede is the cheapo Stowa. I'll forget Aristo. This post has been edited by ck77: Mar 17 2011, 10:26 PM |

QUOTE(MeToo @ Mar 21 2011, 03:29 PM) Um... original copies from China comes in many different grade i understand, those u find in Sungei Wang/petalign street for RM150 omega seems to be the lower grades. Those "replica" costing upto ~RM1k is more liek grade AA and hard to tell the difference for the untrained eyes. Anyone have experienced with such higher quality replicas? (I know of a friend who got some LV replicas bags costing about 30% of real LV for his wife from korea, even the LV store sales girl in KL is hard pressed to tell the difference...) Sorry bro, we are talking about Chinese made or homage watches. We do not discuss replica/grade AAA here. |
