I think maybe because Tag's watches are getting pricier nowadays? Anyways nice design! My Carrera's been with me for about 6-7 years already i think.

The new Carrera 1887 in black/rose gold looked yummy but the price really turned me off  sad.gif
*
u mean the new carrera that is 43mm? i contemplated that, but it did not look so good when i wore it....so chose the 41mm, with no rose gold....

Yeah, RM12k is ok la. The listed price I was quoted for the rose gold/black model was RM20k. I can buy a Zenith Chronomaster already with that kind of money.
dunno about B&R snobbing, but for Panerai it's usually "The new Rolex for Cinapeks"  laugh.gif

Correct me if I'm wrong though.
*
yes, 20k, even with discount 22%, total is RM 15600....still high....

Sorry i do not remember the model. But you can check at some of the IWC boutique, most of the time you can get 30% discount or more from the retail price.
*
ok, tks...but are the discounts still so high? last time i asked, it was nowhere near 30....
