Tag, Zenith & Omega for the first real watch and introduction to the world of horology
Panerai, IWC  for the up and coming executive in his 20s
Rolex, Corum & JLC  for 30s... you starting to make a name for yourself...
Audemars, A Sange Lohne, Richard Mille for 40s... for the appreciation of finer things in life...
Patek to die to the grave (cause we'll all be old fogies by he time we can afford these...and grand kids these days don't deserve such fine inheritance)

Thank for the link mate!

I think the discount in SG is ~8%.
U flying back if so can claim GST rebate, else I don't think can claim GST refund.
*
GST rebate is another 5%, so that's about 13%... just slightly better

However, I think SG prices currently is getting less competitive due to the exchange... stuff that I used to get in SG, I now find they are cheaper in Msia... the 2.5+ forex is not helping SG prices..

I do love Zenith El-Primero myself. But @ only RM 12-13K? Srsly?

As for Omega, I hate endorsement horologie... it makes it tacky & cheesy.

I want a watch that looks good, not a watch that I think it looks good on Maria Sharapova therefore it looks good on me.

Um... I would liek to get to know you better tongue.gif

But seriously... some brands rely too much on marketing/endorsement... namely Tag.... but it works on the masses...
