I’ve never walked into a patek store before hence just checking with those experience how is their watch stock ?

Interested in getting a 5172 or a 5212. Are these models also crazily demanded watches ?

No ps5 pre order but just collected my Van Gogh pre order 😝.
Note: got blackbay58 to stay in topic

i think the current TISSOT PRX 2021 line is looking gorgeous! that have one releasing this june at a price of mid 3k and sized at 40mm.

if not a hamilton khaki field mechanical is also a very good choice! you can get good discounts in most shops.

AP brother unite !

this is a similar dilemma to getting the blackbay58 or the normal blackbay at 41mm. bb58 hugs your wrist better but it does not command the "hey look at my wrist" vibe, wheareas the normal blackbay is louder.

no doubt 15500 will look very "fierce"on the wrist. but fitment wise the 15450 will hug your wrist better for sure as seen on our belovd chinoz. both are good options lah haha.

Remember to show those wrist watch when it arrives!!
was intending to purchase last night, but it went sold out within 1 min.
wanted to purchase at 9pm just now but the thought of waiting until march 2022 and possibly may 2022 was a wait too long for me

Visited AP house and hence Some AP update for you guys..
26331 planning to be discontinued end of the year and be replaced with a new ref, hence they will no longer take any bookings
15450 white grey and black, currently is on a min 2 years waiting list. blue dial you need purchase history (preferably).

Current Jumbo ref also discontinue. will come with a new ref hence no longer taking any bookings.

15500 you need to purchase a minimum of 4-5 watches before they will even consider to "propose" you as a candidate.



Just did a booking for a 26315 with an potential estimated arrival at Q3 2022. AP are very smooth with the words they use, they will never reject your request, nor will they say "no we cant sell you this". it will always turn around and goes back into the topic of purchase history

Wow your offer is significantly better! Should go for it buddy
My SA did not offer a “price indication” for bundle, but more towards on the number of watches I should buy.

26331 was the purchase for 2020,
15450’s is my purchase for 2021.
Gonna hit my 3rd purchase with an offshore diver and hopefully get allocated for 15500😃

I help you add oil

Cannot like that say... personally for me micro brands are at a price where top up a little bit, you can get something highly more reliable + good customer service.

I love my Casio a lot also 😛

stumble already got buy or not? haha!
Yes i fine the longine heritage line to be very attractive as well! happy for brands like breitlings and longines on tackling their re-imagine vintage pieces as it seems to be the trend as well

There's a lot of brands with strong and rich heritage in the market and i think on the forum you've seen many speak fondly about longines and tissots. its unfortunate that on social media its all Rolex rolex rolex, omega etc etc.

on the bright side, these brands usually fetch a 15-20% discount on boutiques and its a better stepping stone into the world of watches.

i personally love the new releases from Seiko recently!

Wow you’re comparing between an independent watch making brand and one of the holy trinity. Hard to be compared buddy from my point of view. As you’re setting aside price and technology, the only thing which is in consideration is design, heritage and value.

One is a innovative brand which takes a bold approach to design and marketing while another is a rich heritage powerhouse with a strong and respected fan base. Personally I will go with heritage significance. Ming for me is a brand stuck in the middle between looking abstractly innovative and looking classy. And I can’t help but put price into perspective.

Recently saw a fellow from malaysia who got it for 2.1K MYR, which was 700 off MSRP on tissot website. the deals are out there!

2.4k also not bad leh! but even tissot playing the "blue is more expensive" game is madness

havent had the chance to jalan jalan any tissot AD and really enquire about the watch. i'm leaning on the gold white version actually! haha.
intend to get the blue dial for my wife. but if its really such a steep different between blck and blue, i'll comfortably go with black

you get yours first lah i really think tissot built a winner here. this watch can be priced at 4k and i dare say people are gonna snap it up as well. crazy to think its at 2k+. Really disrupted the low-mid tier watch market for me personally.

Brand: seiko for sure!

Gotten some new blue strap for the bluesy58

is the pavi tudor by SWG beside the escalator opened? i bought 1 for my dad in that boutique and they offered 15%.
AWG are also tudor authorised dealers. can try asking.
