Best be quick, I wanted the steel red / black bay smilie face but was no longer in stock and have to check if still can order..

I'd personally go for the new in house.

Much longer power reserve. In house. The aesthetic changes are minor. Why worry about servicing? Won't happen for a long time and you might have sold it then

Go for it

Then we can be Black Bay buddies

I wasn't even aware of this and assumed that it was something new.


On the other hand, any Patek Philippe fans here ?

Tried out the Calatrava 5119 and instantly fell in love with it though not to forget it comes with a hefty price tag

I am quite thorn about ETA vs In House before I get mine.
I read from other forum about the problems in in house movement, some being slow by 5 mins per month, some stopped after 3 days wearing it.

In the end I still got the new movement price difference only 1k for pelagos #yolo
Touch wood...hope no problem with my unit.
Been two months, very very accurate.


ETA model is cheaper from my local AD, 10.5k after discount.
In house model is 13k. Seems like price difference is bigger abit for BB models.
Anyway, you wont go wrong with the in house movement. Good luck on your purchase.

PP5119 a bit too delicate for my taste. 30m water resistance. Leather strap. Non hacking seconds.

I was looking at it before I pulled the trigger on a brand new Daytona 116503 with the 2016 redesigned Bezel. Felt that the Daytona with its 100m water resistance and steel/Gold bracelet is more suitable for Malaysian weather than the 5119.

Patek's thin delicate Leather strap will not survive more than 6 months in our hot and humid climate.

Picture of my Daytona.

I believe Sevenfriday's watches have Miyota movements. Usually watches around RM300-500 have that movement. And it doesn't have Sapphire crystal glass.

No idea why it's so expensive.

cos ppl are willing to pay for design and the illusion of luxury.

Same reason why DW can price themselves at 1k..

folks,

seek sifu advice here. between MB (40mm) & BM (43mm) moonphase complication, which one to go for?

both prices almost same from local AD.

anyone here owned either one of them?

That's definitely a good looking Daytona. Mind asking how much did you buy it for ? RM73K+ ?

I got mine today

You have a BB black?

Thanks buddy but I opt for ETA this time around mainly because of personal taste. The Pelagos is too big on my wrist so I went for BB instead. However my sales actually let me try out the bronze BB and I drooled perhaps next year. Apparently the demand is more than supply for now.

BB Blue, congrats bro! Have fun with it

if demand is more than supply, then why still got stock?

Paid retail of RM61,990. Brand new release no discount though. I bought it before the ringgit plunge even further. The prices may have increased since then.

That piece I was trying belongs to some guy who have paid in full but have yet to collect it.

I was close to the sales so she did a favor for me by allowing me to take a look at that piece face2face.

I've seen it in websites but have not actually seen one before. Most of the time I ask other stores its always 'not available'.

ah, tho i find it quite overpriced considering its aluminum bronze.

Bout 15k..l think the pvd dark version aint that wort it and its more expensive.

But the bronze 43mm feels just nice on my wrist....tempting indeed.

between this 2, will go for B&M, the clifton collection will still be there in the future but for MB this design might discontinue anytime ....

any review on this watch ?



abit tempting due to black ceramic case ..but i'm still want IWC Ingenieur
