Don't know when can I get my hand on it

Thanks Bro! My heart beats increasing ever since i found this thread in LYN !

any one purchased any watch online before? the graham is so beatiful and hard to resist

U hope your income increase faster than those price increase.. else U may have a hard time getting your hands on it.
or just get a pre-own.

Exactly, don't like the new COSC dial. Only way is search in pre-own market for pre-COSC version.

I did... quite a few.. but U need to know where. try WUS/Timezone/pmwf etc to check out if they are good dealers.
I am in States so its much easier for me to deal with these stores..
collectorstime.com is based in KL.. U could email them and arrange to meet and buy.

well, for me, i dont really mind getting a pre-own watch which price was at least 40% off...

hi patryn and ck..

about price increase..the Sinn is unique case...because i am thinking of buying online (charged in EURO)..the price has decreased over the last 2 months due to stronger ringgit!

of course, everything can change if Sinn raise their price by 10%....but i've asked them and they said no price raise for now.....So i actually have a target price..once hit..i'll go for it..

i think for past 3-4 months...anyone set on buying their piece with USD/Euro would have seen lower pricing...heck...even collectorstime Jean Richard Bressel i was saying...when i first saw it ...it would have cost about RM6500..today its only RM 6010 (although i must say..its already sold...)...


for omegas, rolexs..or buying from local AD...yeah...price go up, no down one! more stronger that those pills meant to make 'things' go up

ya nando, the only way is riding on the weak EUR by puchase online. If buy from AD here make no different.

so bro, what are you waiting for

But too bad, the Laco I want is out of stock

i was talking about the SpaceLume...is it same like MAd Cow? (sorry, am only familiar with Aviator series in Ball...)..
MAdcow...5.8k retail before usual AD discount right?


to be fair...always hear Ball is quality..although never owned one...always praised for finishing, design, quality..

a fren in Sg recommend this place, check it out
http://www.ebronzeage.com/watches/category...exist_cat=Rolex

heheheeh...what are YOU waiting for...
you always know where to buy nice homages....with the dropping USD....must be cheaper la! hahah

why Laco? which model? USD drop go Stowa mah!!

Original b-uhr from Laco, Miyota movement, value for money
Stowa need to wait for months! And they are not cheap

you're fortunate...Singaporeans too...
Watchuseek and the Singapore rolex forum are 2 good and active places for getting pre-loved....

For Watchuseek....Problem with me is i dont do ebays...and i am not familiar with rules of buying watches from another person.....so i dont dare to jump in..anway..a lot of watches in WatchuSeek is CONUS...(only for USA trade only...

Been browsing the Singapore Rolex forum for past 2-3 weeks....amazing....Pams, Omegas, Rolex, Sinns....all you need is to just paste an advertisement, then SMS to meet somewhere in Singapore...and bang!! deal done!! Heaven for flippers!!

somehow good deal on collectorstime seem to go pretty fast.
ya prices of these item always go up.. U can only hope for weak dollar or EURO esp when u buying thru gray market.

Dont worry bro....together we believe...1 Euro = RM4.15 by this mid year!!


anyway patryn...realised you're based in USA...hope all this talk about USD dropping dont bother you

stowa is in EURO isn't it.
singapore so near to U.. me need to fly 24hrs to get there.

@ck77, ya those B model are out A model still around. 1 thing is Miyota no hacking.

Ya according to them, B-dial will be available in few weeks time. I specially request for no logo dial and they agreed Price inclusive of shipping
Don't mind no hacking movement, and is cheap to service. Worst come to worst, change the entire movement

that is so true! I didn't think of that.. by that time maybe tons of cheap SW200 in the market.
so it was EUR$198 (inclusive of shipping?)

oh.. U giving me ideas.....

anyway Miytota 8215 maybe like last 10-15yrs without service like those cheap Seiko.
movement cost US$37.. servicing I thought pretty much cost the same with a ETA 2824?

Bro that's not all, when you log in with your details (outside EU), price will shown after VAT, so is only EUR166++
Arghhh, why no stock now!!!

The problem with Stowa is they included VAT for Malaysia and Singapore buyer
