Anyone experience the same? Do share it...

Mostly encounter it at luxury watch shop... Sales personal will look at the watch in hand before they choose their approach... Friendly or just ignorance

Hey guys,

So my cousin has been a huge fan of the Rolex Submariner and I followed him scouting around for its price and realised that the date version goes for approximately RM33,500 while one of the dealers around KL quoted us RM35K.

Hence, he decided to go ahead with the Submariner no date version which retails at 27k++

Though I have a question, would he be able to use nato straps on the "no date" version ? The dealer claimed that the lung of the submariner no date is the same with the date version hence nato straps could be used.
Could I please clarify this with you Sifu's over here ?
Thanks!

buying a watch and thinking of resell value, better dont buy anything.

all watches lose value, its just the swiss constantly increase prices every yr or so which gives the impression that they hold value.
but reality is as retail price increase, so too does the used prices.

anyway, that omega rm20k...quite expensive already due to currency.
used to be rm18k retail.
find the older one with 2500 movement in used market should be around rm10k...newer model probably rm14k used.

Guess what, NTD 20k!

Poison you jap

Well I've actually considered to continue saving to increase my budget to a higher like maybe 10k for better options. But then as my salary isn't really that high, wearing a 10k+ watch would be too much i guess? What would sifus suggest?

Oops, even the date is wrong. Guess I'm more hungover than I thought. Hope everyone had a fantastic long break; year is almost over!!

What kind of GS, they may send it to Japan to get work done. The cost not cheap of course if it's going to japan

for thorough cleaning suggest to clean using the ultrasonic bath, i learnt my lesson the hard way by bathing it together with me.

TGIF! Very satisfied with my recent purchase.

RM4k is a decent budget for a watch, and a very nice gesture for your brother. At that range, I think there is nothing wrong with a decent, honest Seiko; great as a first watch to integrate into working society, imho. Like others have suggested, in the ballpark are also brands like Oris, Longines, Tissot, etc. More importantly, do you know if your bro appreciates timepieces? It is more important to get something that he will ultimately like and want to wear all the time. If you need to, speak to him. Good luck.

Oh ok tq bro    wanna give it to my dad after this, coz i don't like watch with jarum, that's why wanna know ori or fake, can say it is fake when giving to my dad later
