so buy grey market if u want cheaper tongue.gif
depending which movement, the older one is just under rm10k with rubber strap.
the newer one is still around rm13k.

else again buy used, between rm7-9k+ depending which movement.

Wah can get for 13k?? So temptingg. I checked other forums and websites and some say the retail prices at ADs now are about RM18.5k. Discount less then 10%.

actually almost rm14k for rubber strap...but still cheaper than what AD sells.
i still wouldnt get a PO 8500 cos its just too thick...prefer the older 2500...tho if 2500 prefer SMPc instead.

The Ferrari logo really only works if its on a car.... with at least a V8.

Just my 2 cents.

Planning to get either a Tissot V8 T039.417.11.057.02 or Certina Podium Big Size Quartz C001.617.11.057.00...

Both also around the same price tag.. anyone using these?

Both are subsidiary of SWATCH & Co. So behind it all, the movements i.e. the engines are basically from the same factory.

It all boils down to which one is more pleasing to your eyes.

Interesting to see the bulk of Swiss watches going to the HK market. The Chinese must be spending millions on watches there.

If chinese spend on luxury goods in China, got luxury tax, so they go to HK to spend.
HK has always been a top consumer of luxury goods be it designer bags or high end watches.

HK is still a doorway to China market ma. Besides, so many China tourist come to HK to buy luxury goods.

Guys, I need a cheap watch for work, probably below RM300. As I am G-Shock collector, I do not have a watch to match a formal wear. G-shock with formal wear is totally weird. rclxub.gif

My current list:

FOSSIL FS4458

TIMEX T2N956

I get the luxury tax part, having being based in China for a couple years now. But double that of the US? Also Japan, one of the top markets for luxury goods, is not even in there. I guess Seiko/Citizen/Casio must be doing a great job in their home market.

If only u know that all fashion related goods in hongkong are mostly cheaper compared to any other place u can find it out of hongkong.. a small tip to u guys.. if u go there for shopping.. anything with a 30% off u can treat it as same as our 50% off.. if they give 50% off.. it is equivalent to around 70% off in malaysia as their starting price is about 70%-80% of our retail price here.. this is what I've been told by a professional retailer.. so i was not surprise with the chart..
