hye there!
Today i found one of the watch shop is selling Oris Frank Sinatra Limited edition with 50% discount. is it worth buying? my concern is, why a limited edition (2090 pieces worldwide) is given such a huge discount? to original price was about 7K plus (if not mistaken). |

QUOTE(mirage-rs @ Jan 2 2009, 12:03 AM) just buy whatever watch u think that fits ur desire and financial state... coz anything that is limited will fetch a good price in the future. bout the self winding thingy. i'm not sure coz i simply shake my tag monaco... depends on the winding mechanism thou. 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! |

QUOTE(ck77 @ Jan 2 2009, 09:34 AM) Oris is a very decent entry level Swiss watch brand. You won't go wrong with it. Don't look at investment perpesctive, most important is buy whichever that speak to you heart. Watch is meant to be worn and not keep in the watchbox and hope for it to appreciate Well said ck77! maybe i have to let go that watch since it is so not me. by the way, those who interested can get it at Impetous (am i spell correctly/hehe) at KLCC. they have others watches like maurice lacroix masterpiece at 50% as well. kindda tempting also! go and get them! i i cant get them, atleast one of my fren here can get them and share with us later!!  Good luck and do show us when you bought it   |

QUOTE(iamsobloodysick @ Jan 2 2009, 11:54 PM) how you guys think of this BALL DIVER TMT limited edition model. i like maurice! i saw someone in mudah.com is selling that Ball watch at 7.8K..come with paper as well. with that price, mybe u can grab another maurice watch (masterpiece) cost 14k before discount 50% in KLCC..the one that i saw last new year day! hows that sound to you?  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   |

QUOTE(iamsobloodysick @ Jan 4 2009, 11:30 AM) the seller in Mudah namely Predo seems tak sabah to explain his watch and keep telling me the watch has every cert and proof. other words, buy or no buy dont question so much. are u trying to say it is not safe to buy someting from mudah etc? by the way, i rather buy used watch from used dealer shop rather than online..too risky! sigh, bad attitude. |

QUOTE(ck77 @ Jan 9 2009, 11:44 AM) Well, all watches regardless of their selling price, Omega, Rolex, JLC, VC, PP etc, is just a wristwatch. They may be nice to look, well designed watches but the only purpose, to tell time. Agreed with you views ck77. I have on my hand rite now a omega constellation pie pan 1962 which i got from my dad. It was not running initially but after servicing and also polishing (i did it locally), she run like new and quite accurate, thus far..no major replacement to the parts and i did not refurbish just to maintain its originallity! like you said..i also wonder how this watch can still keep time for 2 generations without hassle! i wish i can pass down to my kids later! Yes I do own G-Shock, the cheapest of them all, it does more than telling time, i.e. functions like multiple alarms, stopwatch, countdown timer, perpetual calendar. Han dphone, MP3, PDA does tell time too.  However, I do admire the marvellous engineering perspective in automatic/manual movement watches. I can’t imagine a small tiny piece of machine can run/wind by its own. If nicely taken care of, it can pass down generation to generation. It all boils down to interest and preference. Someone might own a Mercedes, but I drive a Honda, it brings me to point A to point B as well. Just my RM0.02  Added on January 9, 2009, 3:50 pm QUOTE(lokgotz @ Jan 9 2009, 02:58 PM) IIRC, the macro shots i used my 350D with a reversed kit lens...not easy to take as i have to hold the lens and the camera... what is the oldest watch that your dad has in his collections? At least that watch could prove the brand's reliability!Added on January 9, 2009, 2:58 pm nope...not a panerai...hehhe......i'll post pictures of my panerai(s) later... Added on January 9, 2009, 3:01 pm I cant afford the watches...it's my dad's..but he lets me wear it... my dad started collecting about 30-40 years back...so yeah...answers ur questions...hehe This post has been edited by nye79: Jan 9 2009, 03:50 PM |

IIRC, he has a PP that's about 30 years old...he also has a Submariner (grey dial) for about 30 years already... the old watches he keeps it in the bank and I dont get to see it that often...so i'm not too sure.. You must be lucky la then..by the way, there was one time i read an article in the Star paper (couple of month ago) on this one old guys who is watch collectors. he told reader that he has PP, omega etc ..similar to your dad..He also keep his watch in the bank for safety after his earlier collections were rob! dont tell me your dad is the one in the article!...becoz he said his kids and wife dont know bout watches and no point give them the watch later!hehe |

QUOTE(lokgotz @ Jan 10 2009, 10:23 PM) hahah...there is NO WAY the 5980 is sold at its retail (USD40k) in Asia..it's so in demand that the price of that watch is more than double its retail...hehe... only expert knows how to differentiate diamonds and stone!! If you buy it in Switzerland, you can. But there is a looooooooong waiting list for it. So the only way to get one is to pay a premium, which is like what I said, more than double the retail price... The PP alone is about the cost of a brand new 3 series...  ..so yeah, you can buy a German car...hehe... |

Speaking of watch magazines, i used to buy revolution and world of watch but the the mag is not on monthly issue (if i am not mistaken).
Last 2 weeks i came to know one mag shop at Amcorp Mall (ground floor) that sell "not-so-current" issues of all type of magazines, inclusive watch magazine. i bought imported watch magazine (Time Watch if not wrong) at RM12.90. the original price is RM31. but they are selling 1 or 2 month issue late la...for e.g. latest issue there was february 09 when i bought them in april. i think that should be ok for 2 months lag as its cheap...by the way, it is watch mag and not celebraties-gissop mag rite?  |
