Yea I managed to book one from one of the AD's and they are reserving it for me both the ETA and in-house.

I was still deciding which one to go for and its plainly due to aesthetics factor. Don't really care whether its a 2824 or an in-house with over 70hrs power reserve etc..

Guess now I know my choice...just need the push factor. Thanks buddy.

I got mine today
You have a BB black?

Well actually i'm quite curious how should one advance in their watch game in terms of branding? Mind sharing your experiences here?

Yup. I had bad experience at HG MV. They totally ignored me when I was shopping for a new watch not too long ago.

So when I finally pulled the trigger on the TT Daytona 116503, I went back to HG and rubbed it at their face.

HG staff at G Mall tend to look down on people who are not dressed in designer wear.

Actually, make that twice I was snubbed at HG. The first time was more than a year ago. Wanted to buy a Sub C. Said no stock so put myself on the waiting list. They never even bothered to contact me after almost half a year. I was fed up and managed to locate one in a Rolex Boutique in town and pull the trigger there.

Not sure if they even put me on the waiting list in the first place as they have yet to call me for the Sub C.

So, those HG Salespeople think I have no money to buy watches and they lost out on two sales within a year. Around 100k worth of sales lost because they refuse to attend to a young ciku dressed in no brand polo shirt and jeans.

Went to orchard Road, Singapore. Why is the price like this?!

Love the deville, but the hour vision is the most fragile part of the watch. The SP discourage me to get it as he receive quite a number of watch where the owner broke the saphire crystal of the hour vision and the debris got clogged inside the movement. Cost a hefty sum to repair it.
The Omega AT GMT Good Planet is priced almost at the range of Rolex. Am just concern that might get bored with the BLNR very soon and regret it.

Btw, a new BLNR is priced at RM 39,000, and the SP openly admitted that it is inflated price due to high demand, take it or leave it. Isn't there a price control to prevent AD doing such thing?

Base on your experience, i guess it's the SP that inflate the price instead of the AD since price quoted by 2 AD of the same store is different.
I doesn't quite like the idea of inflation due to high demand, guest i'll just put the BLNR purchase on-hold for now.

My friend did get a black submariner with date back in Nov 2016 for Rm 33,500 at Bangsar's Rolex boutique.

Saw a Pepsi GMT going for IDR 400,000,000 (RM 133k) in Jakarta if anyone interested.

It's difficult to get any of the popular models here i.e Subs, ND Subs, BLNR, DaytonaC or DeepseaBlue especially UK. The past few months I've only seen ND Subs but that didn't last long. New AirKing and Explorer is now more available.

No chance of BLNR as it's an 18 months wait on the list.

I just got back from Milan and it's the same thing, lacking in popular professional models. However wait time for BLNR is only 4 months but £400 pricier than UK.

wow, your yezzy? 

Hi guys. Would love to get some opinion/ feedback on Ingersoll watches since I saw them having some ongoing promotion of special discount and stand a chance to win another. I am aware of their watch winder but not really particular with their watches (more to a fan of Tissot). Thanks ahead.

Bought this watch on Chrono24. My first time buying a very expensive watch online. It's very risky especially on chrono24 because chrono24 don't give a crap if buyers get scammed. There are many horrid stories and experiences of buying luxury watches on chrono24. So choosing the right sellers are very important. Never fully believe in "Trusted", "Pro", "Premium" seller, or since how many long years on the site. It means nothing much except it indicates the sellers are the paying customers to Chrono24 for buying the titles.

I bought this watch from a Japan seller with physical shop in Osaka. Trustworthy and very good service. The watch comes with crocodile straps and got rejected by the japan customs from shipping. Seller took out straps and shipped the watch and straps separately.

Japan customs is very strict. Seller was not willing to declare lower value for the watch because big penalty/fine if busted. And endangered animal skin/parts like crocodile straps are not allowed for export.

I paid GST 6%

not sure if my eyes are playing tricks on me, it looks blue to me.

just to highlight an experience.

bought a pam 372 from a private seller

didn't like the leather strap that came with it.

went to random watch reseller in midvalley to buy an OEM rubber strap for rm399

gladly paid for it and after wearing for 20 seconds, the strap snapped (i think its already disintergrated) and the watch dropped from chest height to the tiled floor

dome kena scratch, watch shop refuse to assume responsibility and quickly blamed it on the supplier "this is not our fault, its the supplier problem"

next day went to panerai boutique and got an original strap for rm570

moral of story... no point save few hundred bucks for OEM if u already paid thousands for a watch.
