Hi watch enthusiasts,
Want to ask am planning to look for a leather strap watch since I have a Tissot bracelet watch.
Budget is around ~8k ish, am looking at ML Pontos collection.
But I've been reading the forums here and I'm not sure whats the diff when you guys mention about AD and Grey.
Where can I look for good discounts of ML or other recommendation besides ML?

QUOTE(deriku @ Nov 8 2011, 12:13 PM) The watch shops you see in malls are typical ADs (authorized dealers). Grey dealers usually sell on the net. See link below for more info. http://www.chronocentric.com/watches/graymarket.shtmlML Pontos chrono by local grey dealer at ~5.2k. http://collectorstime.com/maurice-lacroix.phpHi, So does that mean its trustworthy to buy grey items via reputable online stores? Because the price from grey vs AD are kinda huge.

Thanks, I'll just get it off from AD instead since I can try em on and such. Any other particulars I should look at such as serial number on watches, warranty cards etc? Any particular reputable shop to go to at KL/PJ area? At the moment I'm looking at; http://www.oris.ch/collections/collections...=en&modelid=436or

Thanks!, though Oris is slightly cheaper by a thousand + but I still feel the ML is much better looking.

QUOTE(patryn33 @ Nov 10 2011, 10:54 AM) U saw the ML? how much in the store? 12,300 retail price without discount. Most shops give 'bout 25-30% discount in which cheapest I see is about 8.8k. The Oris mentioned is about 6500 after 30% discount. This post has been edited by Kerry1136: Nov 10 2011, 11:52 AM
