i heard that Ball movements are ETA too. Now i'm torn between Ball Aviator and Tag Aquaracer Calibre 5. Any recommendation?

btw, where do you guys normally get replica? online?

how about original from local shops ? any recommendation that shops with fair price?

Yes Ball is using ETA too, build quality is better than Tag, IMHO.
No replica talk here
Usually I'll shop around and see which AD would give me a better discount
Good luck

Ball do mod some of their ETA movement.
Ball or Tag... BALL!!!!!!!!!!!
build quality pretty much same same... some guy here went diving with his ball and found water condensing inside. still under warranty so went in to get it fixed.

99% of the joes here not going for replica... wrong thread

Ball or Tag.. prices thru AD are controlled... at most u find discount vary 1-4% depending on sales person.
so long u getting thru D.. their prices are fair..
thru gray market dealers.. support local.. go collectorstime.com

was looking through some watches last night - checked the price of the new omegas out. asked how much discount, and the salesperson told me 15% with receipt, and 20% without receipt (but with warranty, etc).

anyone happen to know the reasoning behind this?

AD don't want to get caught as the discount is controlled

that's true. unless you are very close to AD or you are their regular customer. normally will give you better offer.

spotted a cheap LE watch on http://www.collectorstime.com/new-watches.php

No man... I don't like ocean7, not Mkii. Mkii is cool. Yea the Glycine's on k1 mineral glass front and back, and I really didn't think it would be so easily scratched. The culprit was a concrete wall, concrete wei omg.

yeah....collectorstime have quite nice collections of Zenith...

how come i cant upload any of it??? can any1 teach me how??

Hi guys,just brought a ball engineer hydrocarbon midsize for my wife as a valentine gift......
Will share the pic later.

Nice watch, irregardless of the price.
You can copy and paste the IMG code, the image will show here.


Good hubby

lol, somehow it just doesn't seem to make much sense to me. selling the watch with/without receipt does not dispel the fact that the actual physical unit has been sold (?).

...or maybe my reasoning is just messed up lah

Oops my bad.. bad memory..
for the price u paid for a Glycine can get a MKII right? since MKii starts at around US$615. custom build better yet regulated to 6 positions.
unlike most watches at this price range only regulated to 3 positions
I am those ppl if ask me to pay > US$400 for a non sapphire crystal.. its a big No-No

same, sapphire crystal is a must have, especially when paying USD$400 and above.
that being said, quite a number of Omega Speedmasters comes with acrylic face, as an example.
