nice one santa! smile.gif

don't buy somethings that you cant afford, myself never buys fake stuff just to boost image lol. it would be so embarrass when you get busted. i never owned a luxurious watch but i plan to get a rolex GMT master or sea dweller in the future. at the mean time, i will stick with my fossil watch biggrin.gif

yes! fossil watch has nice design. and its affordable. I own one and bought one for my gf. So both of us have a pair. Do you think fossil can give us commission because promoting their brand? haha.

fake stuffs be it AA or AAA grade would never ever beat the original. Sometimes buying fake expensive watch i.e panerai and wear it makes you feel stupid.

People always relate your assets with your career. For instance; if you wear 200k watch, definitely you must be super millionaire to buy it. But if you are just a normal makan-gaji worker like me, and suddenly you wear fake watch that is in actual price is 4 times your monthly salary, people will know its a fake or worst people will think you steal it or are some kinda taking bribe type of guy for a living.

It doesnt make you look smarter, but dumber.

offtopic: I have this one cleaner in my office own a FENDI shade. And its original. When i asked him, he said some Datuk give it to him. He was a part time body guard for this Datuk so one day he was in this Datuk's office, he saw the shade and Datuk just said - "If you want it, just take it, but dont sell it to anybody". And he wears it everytime he cleans the office.

Imagine mopping a floor with "XXXX Cleaning Services" shirt and wearing original FENDI shade. LOL.

Hi New to this thread and forum as well.....
totally agree with hcktr....if you can't afford an original luxury just go for a genuine average watch......because how bad it is...it's still original.

I always believe it's best to get an original. Expensive? Buy something within your range/budget. Tissot and Seiko are good affordable watches.

If someone claims he/she has a Tag/Rolex and gets busted coz it's fake, imagine how embarrassed they must feel.

What's so good about original? Quality, reliability and most importantly self satisfaction. Will you be satisfied if you own something fake that has no quality but bears famous brands?

I need to repair my Franck Muller as the knob to adjust the time/date is faulty. Is it even worth sending to anywhere in KL cause I doubt their shop in KLCC can do much other than send it off for repair. I don't even want to guess what repairing would cost.

Last time my Baume & Mercier needed a new leather strap and I had to get one from Singapore cause locally it seems most brands have only retail but no proper after sales support/servicing.

Note: I've never bought an expensive watch, didn't pay for any of my watches basically handed down entry level models.

go to bangsar shopping village, there is a shop there call swiss watch or something like that. They are expert in fixing swiss watches, me and my dad send our watches there for servicing or repairs.

Yup, the bracelet is unique. Carerra is more for elegance while Link is for elegance + sporty.

LVMH sale today? Where? How were the prices?

shocking.gif That's nearly double the discount in the road show! It could be the older model such as Aquaracer and Carrera. Anyhow, it's still a good deal!

Yea, there is a new Aquaracer which uses Calibre 5 movement. It is around Rm8k++ before discount during the roadshow.
