What's the general consensus about Tudor, specifically a Tudor Pelagos?

Anything a buyer should be concerned about? biggrin.gif

Yes, everyone should be concerned that some Tudor models, such as the Black Bay and Pelagos, are now pushing close to and past the RM20k mark. Other than that, they're great watches.
*
I believe the latest one I saw was around 16k ish for the Pelagos.

Could be mistaken but it's still cheaper than a sub at today's pricing.

Rolex is still around 5% when I casually inquired few months back, not sure if it's negotiable.

5% discount can pay with card?

Need to rake up some points while buying something this valuable tongue.gif

It's been a while since I visit local stores for Rollies anyways.

thanks..wtach shoppe at mid valley was giving 30%

was wondering if USA would be cheaper since i will be there in oct

My experience with luxury watches tells me otherwise laugh.gif

Due to unfavourable currency, it's still cheaper to get it from malaysia, providing they have the model you want.

Hi Guys. I'm looking for tag heuer watch for my wedding gift. Do you where can i get good discount?looking for below model.

Heard Watchshoppe offering up to 25% for selected models?

But price hike is coming in September according to people.

Not that I follow Tag anymore. If you can get the model number, maybe I can drop a text to someone working at there to get you the price after discount.

My watch guy just confirmed Tag is indeed raising prices effective 1st Sept..

I can hook anyone up with my guy, but I have no idea if the price will be better coz I don't follow Tag.
*
Yeah I got several of those messages too.

Can't say it was unexpected but Tag's entry level watches are still acceptable in pricing laugh.gif

Hmm, not sure if this qualifies as a Malaysian local brand, but it looks absolutely stunning. Saw it, went the the website, all sold out. Heck man...

The blue is absolutely stunning.

Indeed.

It's rather huge on the wrist, which kinda turns females off. Unless they have unique taste.

Psst - You might have just revealed where you work laugh.gif

yes, listed price was about 19,800 dirham if i am not mistaken. 19k+ for sure.

yes, malaysia often offer higher percentage of discount lately. i dont know why. biggrin.gif.

I think disc for Omega has been going down for quite a while.

You have to basically get from their boutiques nowadays and the disc offered ain't as good as the good old days?

Get Pelagos instead not much difference

Pelagos is thicker thou.

A little hard for the watch to sit on top of the wrist nicely at time.

Black Bay is a nicer watch to wear, compared to the Pelagos in total.

Not to forget, Pelagos is more expensive than Black Bay too.
Which black bay color you are aiming? I'm thinking of getting the steel version but still thinking about it though.
*
Not much difference la.

I have a Black Bay in Burgundy. Steel version looks nice but i need date so Pelagos is something I would wear more often.

QUOTE(flowerhorn @ Oct 29 2017, 11:02 PM)
Yes it’s thick and too much wording at the dial to me.

Yeap.

It does not really sit well on my wrist.

But it's still a great beater watch tongue.gif

Is it possible to get AP in malaysia with discounts? Is it as much as a rolex or iwc discount? Never checked on ap with AD before..
*
Rolex is near 5% while IWC can go up to 20% (IIRC)?

Nowadays hot models no discount one. Take it or leave it kinda market for Rollies. You’d be happy if you can find a Rolex at RRP.

Only time I saw AP with discount is from reseller / grey dealer lol.

This may or may not have affected you, but this pair of scammers have finally been caught. There were previous threads on the girl; believe the scammed/stole digital camera at a cybercafe many years ago.

On an unrelated matter, last week when I was trying to re-home an old Yatchmaster of mine, I met up with a suspicious individual.

He transferred the sum of payment via IBG instead of IBFT and totally refused to wait till Tuesday to collect the watch.

Suffice to say, when I checked my account this morning, the said sum of $$ was not in.

Luckily, I told him under no circumstances he's leaving with the watch unless the cash is in my bank account on the same day.
