Why is that so? As mentioned by you, you have 3-5k to spend on watch.
You have every right to try on any products before purchase.
Even before you buy a car, you'll go and test drive right?

Most robbers will go for ah pek Rolex, gold and bling bling. doh.gif
So is pretty safe if you go for the sporty range, i.e. Submariner, Explorer, GMT etc

Better not to stereotype all teenagers. I'm in my early 20s and I know my stuffs, not just because "kids" who look at tags do not know about pammy. Watches like glashutte original, gerald genta, lange n sohne, FP, AP and the list goes on are not quite hype in Malaysia's market. First of all, the earning power of Malaysia is disappointing, an average joe won't be able to spend like say 50k on an AP. Hence, they won't even bother walking into shops like SINCERE and not know about it. Different strokes for different folks, and yes I'm the type who looks at the outlook first before the movement. Btw, cortina watches do give a big chunk of discount when they have private sales for CIMB preferred members smile.gif

i would think the main problem is the terrible exchange rate. Fellas neighbor down south earning Sing dollars maybe can fork out 4kSing for a brand new Omega. Our 4kRM can only buy you a decent Oris/Ball.

Jason, I've got the same experience as you with Wata Txxe in 1u smile.gif Go in and check out and asked for the prices, they simply quote you. Anyone who wants to get ML, Tag, Omega, and some other brands I can get cheaper prices compared to outside from my AD. CC or cash also can but of course CC you'll get lesser discount due to the charges of banks to the company. It all comes in whole set but of cos if you want exclusive discounts as such you're not entitled for the receipts, this is for them to protect themselves. Feel free to PM me. I would love to see more people having the ability to acquire something they like. Cheers.

@Jr.Koh

Yeah they told me that some Tag watches able to give 23% some only 18% n some none.

i visited 1U new wing WatchSxxxxx they have the same agreement with Wata Txxx.
Yes to protect themselves if they provide 23% with receipt. But comes with International warranty card.

ck77, I also kena poison by omega PO. Hahaha.

terence: I can get a fair deal for you for Tags as long as you're keen in getting it smile.gif The price control was an agreement all the watch companies in malaysia had to control the price for their benefit, they had a meeting before deciding it as too much grey market people getting stock from some of the shops and spoilt the market back then. This was what I'm told by my AD.
