Hello, which would be your favourite place to get a watch with good deals and good after sales service?

I've made a purchase from Wata Time before and it's fine but i'm looking for more places.

What brand are you looking to buy ?

And fyi, if you ever happen to face any problems with a particular brand, they would usually refer you back to the service centre.

I'm eyeing at Longines at the moment, a dress watch with leather strap.

Agree on the second point.

I bough my Tag Heur from Watchshoppe Mid Valley last time as they offered me the best discount.

Hi guys, been sometime since I have posted here. So I am looking forward to sell of my Tag Heuer Carrera CV2a10ba which I bought around January 2014.

Before uploading more picture of the watch, anyone knows approximately how much could I let this go for ?

I can’t seem to find the receipt though I still have the booklet and the warranty card. Though the original watch box is pretty dusty and the pillow and interior of the box is kind of peeling off.

Bought the watch around 10-12k back in Jan 2014 and never dropped it and it hasn’t been serviced yet.

Reason of sale: Planning to get another watch.

A quick look on chrono24 shows the price for that particular model plus box and papers ranges from around 9-18k depending on year and condition. Theres a verified dealer from MY in there selling a 2010 model for 10k. Maybe u could give that platform a look to get a general idea.

Apologies, didn’t realise that I wasn’t allowed to post my previous watch for sale on here.


On the other hand, any recommended watch boxes apart from Scatola Del Tempo ?

shankar_dass93 seems my reply got deleted along with your post  sweat.gif  I was thinking a Wolf Windsor 10 with drawers to store straps n stuff, but maybe you might prefer something bespoke along the lines of Anthony Holt & Sons or Rapport of London.

Just googled up both brands that you mentioned and they look pretty good!

Do you own any one of them ?

Merry Christmas all!
Here are some gifts from the Vacheron boutique for the festive season biggrin.gif

A lovely basket from Fortnum & Mason which was a nice surprise by the VC team

A pair of grey handling gloves and leather watch pouch from VC HQ which was extremely nice of them. I wasn't expecting this to turn up at my doorstep.

and lastly a beautiful wooden loupe given by the boutique. Was told the ring is actual gold  blink.gif

I couldn't ask of more from VC. They have been extremely thoughtful and generous.

And of course, I had nothing from Rolex lol  rolleyes.gif

That's top notch customer service / after-sales service. How many VC's did you buy from them ?

Remembered someone here uploading a picture of Omega sending them a package too.

Should have bought my Omega from a Boutique lol

Anyway, does PP give out anything ?

I'm only into my 2nd VC although I'm eyeing the American 1921 as my third. It helps to buy from the boutique, no discounts though but you get pretty good service and goodies from them.
*
Happy New Year to you and your family bro, thanks for the reply. The American 1921 has a unique dial!

Agreed, i wasn't aware that boutiques used to send out gifts on special occassions etc, should have gotten my previous watch from a boutique. Just wondering though, if i happened to only buy 1 VC, would i still receive something from the boutique or would i need to be maintaining an X amount of purchases in a given time period to get these goodies ?

Have always been wondering about it.
