QUOTE(patryn33 @ Apr 14 2010, 05:47 PM) its a warranty claim its only natural they take care of the shipping cost. CW the most advanced diver watch. Where did you buy it from? My hand a bit itchy to get hold onto one.Added on April 14, 2010, 5:56 pm no pics yet... Christopher Ward C600, just arrived yesterday. at ~40mm, sit on the wrist nicely. rubber band is long suitable for ppl going diving. the PVD finish is really nice. Great packaging didn't feel like one is buying a cheapo watch. Great Lume I have to say..... loving the blue glow. the only 2 issue I have is the deign of the hands, a little to long and broad. for US$385 its good value as a beater watch. not own a ETA 2824, so can't compare with SW200 inside this watch. 2nd issue is the screw-in crown, maybe I own a Zenith so I pick on it. it just didn't give me THE FEEL. hey can't help right since its more than 10X diff in price. will pay with it for a few days and report how much time it gain/loss. to add: even its a nearly new item, I didn't find any scratches or dints. CW still offer the regular 60days return and 60 mths warranty |

Added on April 15, 2010, 6:50 pm wow... increase budget! now eyeing on Omega!!! get it soon.. the increase would come sooner or later.. i've been eyeing on a seamaster since high school, all because of james bond. budget increased, but fund still insufficient. i'm torn between doxa n omega. ok here's the situation: Doxa - rm5.6k - only option is to buy online - any warranty claim & servicing/regulating the first 2 years will have to be done in switzerland. must send the watch there - limited production - have never seen nor tried the actual watch - ETA-2824-2 grade? elabore? - 42.7mm slightly smaller than Sinn U1. i can't wear U1 as it is too big for my wrist - read some complaints from doxa owners on WUS forum Omega - rm12k. insufficient fund (like red alert). will have to be patient and keep on saving - can buy from local AD - warranty claim & servicing can be done locally - availability is not a problem. just that the price goes up and up and up - co-axial technology, chronometer grade movement - size 42mm, perfect for my wrist - nothing but perfect reviews so..... how lah?

QUOTE(patryn33 @ Feb 22 2010, 04:40 AM) AD = authorize dealer. In their contract, they are required to buy X amount of watches from these brands and can only give limited controlled discount. A great explanation by patryn as above.gray market dealers, they obtain watches thru AD. In this bad Econ, AD may go under and need to liquidate. There is no way to sell in such a short time, they will let go their items at a low price to these dealers without warranty. in other case, AD are carrying too much stock or need cash flow or some other reason. They also let it go cheap to these dealers. http://www.collectorstime.com/omega.php#SeaMaster Malaysia based grey dealer. I have not deal with them though. |
