Taking OVM out for a ride

Thanks! In this day and age when everyone else is going web and social media they are still pretty old school..which is actually quite charming haha! BTW u still collecting SGs?

I bought another SG couple weeks ago, the entry lvl SGJ...n it feels real good.

Nice..I saw that in SG..umm the country..haha I also bought the LP Studio 60s tribute with P90s recently...good stuff is really getting more affordable these days! (oops sorry for the OT guys!)

Care to share where you got 40% discount?

ya mine basically came from sweelee also.

anyway, tat seng...ya they got no real presence...their website also is kinda pathetic.
they did move outlets within amcorp recently tho...to one that is more visible.
their sticker prices are also a little on the high side...but knowing typical malaysian mindset so they usually throw about 15% off the sticker price.

or maybe no one really hears of them cos they dont really sell panerais

Yeah! I was at their new shop and saw the old one while walking around...the young guy who attended to me was quite nice and friendly and yah after discounts it was more or less market prices. I think they get their stock from overseas though? Quite a shame...I'm sure they would do quite well with some online presence like what the rest are doing! haha

Im planning to visit them again real soon..maybe ill ask them why hahahhaa

Wah , treason also coming watch thread already! hahaha..

Wahahhaa eh I come visit you soon for lunch one of these days!

Can also. Actually,why you want Rolex?

I think an IWC Ingenieur with a rubber strap suits you more

anyone heard of brookiana watch brand before? look pretty nice

Let's do some charity,

typical charity driven for-profit organisations



Probably 1/4 ($10) goes to charity while 3/4 ($30) goes to some guy's pocket.

Do charity... buy another Rolex

How does that work? I want to participate. I heard Rolex's profit are somewhat funneled to charity and Rolex in itself is privately owned by an organisation, or something like that.

In simple terms, Rolex is not publicly listed.
So no shareholders.
It is entirely owned by the Hans Wilsdorf Trust.
So, whatever profits will go to the charity of choice of the trust fund.
I think it involves watchmaking schools (where frank muller graduated)
And also some humanitarian charities.
That is why Rolex is cold to the media.
They answer to nobody.
All their profits is not making some fat capitalist filthy rich but is funneled to charities.
But with all things Rolex, information is sketchy at best.

The watch itself looks like a typical fashion watch, which I do not mind at all (might even wear it for a quirky look). The only thing is the accountability issue: the contribution may be quantified but who determines how much money really goes to the charities. IMO a marketing ploy by the owner but if it really benefits the under-privileged, all power to them.

Anyway, I'm guestimating the manufacturing cost per watch would be in the sub USD5 range, based on this.

how to know whether the watch ori or fake ? no swiss made stated ?
