Greeting all watchlovers,

I'm looking forward to purchase a new watch for myself , well, is for my own birthday..smile.gif

i saw the links shared in the 1st page saying grey market..i have some questions as below:
1.is it selling original? Price is it cheaper than local shops?
2.manage to received when we order from online?
3. Any additonal tax rather than the shippin cost?

I'm new to online purchase, please share your experiences..thanks.
*
that's what i did for my birthday, got myself 2 lovely seikos from ebay. hehe.

1- when u purchase from well known, top rated sellers, and those seller which have loads of feedback to back them up, then it will be authentic when they say it is. but of course, i cannot guarantee it. this would be applicable when u purchase from ebay. if other sites, like bodying, im not sure. but its al about reputation and their track record. general rule, if the deal is too good to be true, then it most probably is.

2- when buying from ebay, normally its either sent by registered mail, (2-3 weeks eventho seller from SG) or by express/expedite shipping like courier services such as DHL and FEDEX (4-6 working days). one of my watches was by registered mail, and another by fedex. i ordered them 3 weeks apart, i got them on the same day. sweat.gif and both are registered, meaning u will obtain a tracking ID from the seller.

3- watches are not taxable in malaysia rclxms.gif

ps- ebay would be my best choice of buying watches. but so far i've only bought seikos online. why? you could dispute and if and if you item is lost, still there's the ebay's buyer protection. i've personally won a dispute (non watch related). no worries. ebay takes very good care of their buyers, sellers are kept a close eye on.

my statements are by personal accounts, hope others will enlighten you and i with their own experiences icon_rolleyes.gif

cheers.

I would go for Laco just for the sake that it is the Original 5.

QUOTE(deriku @ Oct 27 2011, 06:08 PM)
The 6497 is a reliable work horse. Heck, it's still being used by Panerai in some of their base models today. And the one Steinhart uses comes with cotes de geneve and blued screws, which adds a nice touch when viewed from the display back.

I'd say go for it if you're not that into the history thing wink.gif

i considered the Laco and the Stowa, both are great, but price wise the Steinhart invokes the greater happiness, where it looks very good like deriku said, and i spend less? hehehehe. brows.gif

hanz & deriku,

thanks for the info! well, the china one is called the asian seagull am i right? damn. is has to be a good work horse for it to be "replica-ed".right words used? hehehe.

I wouldn't go for Laco if it is using Miyota movement.

6497 is a reliable work horse. some ppl didn't like it cause its lower beat.
PAM did get soprod to mod it a long time back.

besides steinhart there are more brands that offer lower price pts.
