hehe! the santos 100 would be unmistakable as 100% cartier shape..

anyway here;s the tag taken last nite 1.25am.. 

hey guys, does anyone of you know how much an omega speedy pro or PO will go for in msia(including discounts)? Just wondering as I'm interested in getting my first swiss watch and I'm not sure it'll be cheaper in msia or in australia. Thanks in advance for any feedback!

alrighty ck77, thanks for the swift reply. Factoring in a 20% discount, even with them watches being duty free, the best is only 8.8k for speedy and 9.6k for PO in msia? If that's the case i'll use that info as a yardstick for comparison but in any case I still have plenty of time to shop around since i think i read on watchuseek about some guy who got 32-35% off where i'm at(still waiting for the AD's contacts), and if i buy it before i go back to msia for a holiday i'll get a further 9% on top of the discounted price as a tax refund.

just trying my luck here but do you happen to know the price of a tag link auto chrono and the oris tt3 black chrono? these 2 in addition to the 2 omegas are on my shortlist. not sure whether i should proceed with the dream of owning one of these swissmade badboys though =/

hehe.... quick unclear shot of AP royal oak... not mine la of course.... my dad's....

oh not all swiss mechanical got appreciate thru time?
*noob*

I dont really fancy with oris frank sinatra..just happened that i found this limited edition and start thinking whether should i buy and keep since it a limited edition. Is Oris is a good brand to put ur money into? i am a novice in watch collecting world. thank to my old dad's watch omega constellatons piepan that had enlightened me in this watch thingy!

how you guys think of this BALL DIVER TMT limited edition model.

the BALL price is somewhat RM10k after discount.

another targeted watch is Maurice Lacroix Pontos GMT Decentrique

the ML price is RM13300 after 28% discount.

im stuck in between these two options 

i checked out the www.redarmywatches.com.... and find it quite interesting...

I am very interested in the Junkers Horizon (orange colour).... which looks like a
bell & ross instrument BR01..... the list price is S $ 1,3xx.... so..in RM...should
be RM2,6xx.... do you think is value buy ?? always like the classic look of the
BR01... but I guess it cost more than RM10K...which is way beyond my budget
!

How to know whether the price quoted is good or not for a second hand watch? Advise us sifu 

yeap...the price u need to do some research abit le. Use the actual release sales price as a guide... then, estimate the depreciation of the watch. see the condition, year of manufacture, brand, type, batch, how long in the previous owner's possession, service records, completeness of documentations@certificate and box condition  non are specific le...some can even rise 2-3times than actual sales price, some used watches may have best buy pricetag as the tauke so kind hearted to get rid of it from the display case(perhaps he hit a big lottery or good sales for the month)  . See the demand market le... In short, it's pure luck n connection with the used watch shop tauke... oh...and lots of $$$$ also le...

i dun have any experience le... i observe my dad and read up some watch mags lorr...  he say liddat and i just assume it's true la  post up ur catalogue le...

my friend has one...

I like the Sub, especially with the bubble....heheh...personal preference lah...
I bought mine for RM20k after a slight discount.  I dont think they have discounts anymore...not too sure though...

wow...you're good!

I am looking forward to own a SINN watch...the U1 or U1000.... for me,...my preference go
to those value for money, good value watches... which is not too "commercialised" type...
eg. Fortis, Ball, Sinn....

A question to all luxury watch owners, do u guys/girls wear your luxury watch for daily use or just for certain occasions?

My concern here is more about the environment of wearing such watches, it could attract thieves.

Hi i don't own any high end watches, but am interested in them. Anyway since you guys bought up criminals targetting these watches. Don't forget the cases of chopped off hands just for some rolex. If they break in big houses they would target these watches. Also a trend where there are these foreigners selling fake watches that they pass off as stolen goods. And sometimes there are real ones, but usually they approach single entrepreneurs for a quick sale. Please if it is real or not don't buy from them. But if i were to own such watch i would not wear them, simply i find them fragile. I would be better off with a CASIO or something. hehehe.

BTW 2 years ago i went to this Sincere watch event at KLCC convention center. I wonder if anyone went to that event? I registered for GP watch appreciation session where they showcase their watches, how it is made and they flew in some watchmakers for demo. I didn't get a place for the watch making session though. That was booked solid early on.
