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.

I ask the auntie got sell ball anot then she say dont have so i say i look around lor. she was like not interested in answering it.

One of the Sales rap in THG at pavilion very friendly. I enjoy talk with him and he give me lolex and tudor catalog when straight away i asked for one. Cotinx at starhill claim that they dont have catalog (or they not interested in giving up). The lolex butik in klcc one of the sales rep quite nice too even i admit to him i cant afford lolex. He also own an old hand winding lolex in need of repair. Never the less manage to touch subs and daytona's thumbup.gif

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.

which PO poisoned you? the black dial with orange numbers ah? hehehe

I do apologize about my sweeping statement..  sweat.gif
different social circle.. cannot help.. my current social circle don't even recong a TAG... haha.. and they are in their 40s.
others only care about brand don't even give a hoot about manufacture only know cartier, Bvglari, Rolex.. TAG and go huh...
I also know such wealthy group of ppl.. who are blur with Panerai/PP/AP but know Rolex and TAG.
a Kid? not speaking of 5yr old or 11yr old kid.. man..
I guess I shouldn't use the word kid.. but teenager..  LOL.. Oops.. sorry
these teenager wearing homage.. do know their pammy.
Thanks for the clarification. I understand.

hehehe, thats why i say, one is better off getting a PP or AP or any other expensive watches other than a Rolex. 9/10 a robber who tries to rob you won't even bother trying to take your watch if he doesn't see the golden crown on it lol.

More so if you're wearing a bell & Ross, those things look like plastic!
Are you serious? your friend got 60% off for LE for FM? that lucky son of a b**ch. Where and when did this happen? notworthy.gif
*
I think those BR Instruments look pretty substantial and don't have any plastic looking qualities? Even the PVD models look like rugged metal? Perhaps maybe the black ceramic - I can see how those might look like plastic.
Maybe I am just biased towards the watch because I like it. =) Heheh, it happens.

BTW, Franck Mueller Long Island - love it! Very expensive though. =/ Relatively new to the watch world without as much history, but still a nice looking watch that is quite popular among aficianados. Agree with you though, 60% off is a really good deal...almost too good. =)

bro, u can try going to watchuseek site and go to the Omega forum.
then you go to the topic `can anyone send me a link to the favourite Omega AD'.

apparently, there is a US based AD selling Omega at low range of pricing. But they cant advertise it on the forum. So you need to go to that topic and say you would like to know about this AD...

Then, you will receive a pm to tell you who the AD is...you can then contact him via email...

i was quoted about USD2695 for leather and USD 2765 for bracelet. After adding in delivery and rest, you may end up paying less than RM9500 for a brand new PO, which i think still cheaper than getting from our local AD...

however, the issue is whether you're comfortable buying online. I know this US based AD is quite popular among the Omega forummers in watchuseek.com. But whether you can rely on him for international sales, i am not sure....

I got it for second hand, so its cheap rclxms.gif
I would say 26% is really good discount, go fot it thumbup.gif
But make sure it come with 2 years manufacturer warranty, everything in the box, i.e. inner box, outter box, user manual, warranty card.
And one more thing, the serial number in the watch matched with warranty card.
Good luck biggrin.gif

No la, I bought it last year. You can try ebay, lyn, malaysian watch forum, lelong & mudah (beware of fake!!). If you can take more risk, timezone, watchuseek.

Maybe I want to sell mine is the price is right, hehe. You interested?

oris i think is quite "normal" compared to brands like tag?
btw 5k cant get a good a tag rite?

any model which is classy for ball?
The tag carrera is classy..
5K can get a entry level non Chrono tag. Aquaracer series very likely and they are just as good as Carrera series.

ball watches prices are pretty high today.. 5K don't think can get a Chrono. those date version is always possible.

oris and Fortis... Chrono maybe out of your reach too.
tissot, hamilton Chrono are within your reach.

cheapest will be the quartz if I am not wrong.. retailing ~RM$9.7k
easy way.. check out this site and do the conversion on the price b4 discount to get an idea.. U'll not get discount as high as online for sure.
I believe U are looking at the square type.

if U looking for round kind.. NOS.. try this loh..
