Correct me if I'm wrong. I believe Cortina do offer 0% installment for CIMB card holders up to 12months. You can give them a call and ask. I've received some brochures before with the collaboration of Cortina and CIMB. Cortina do offer private sales for the card holders tho.

If im not mistaken...usually those 0% installment plan...the discount will be the normal standard AD price no further discount is given.
extra a few % discount from the AD would save a lot if the figure [$$] is huge  any nice female watch to reckon not more than rm5k ? saw Cortina like not so temping....guess paying for the name rather than the movement....[i maybe wrong] But i wonder y there's so many gals are wearing cortina/rolex and other shinny watches... |

Wanna ask something... the oscillation of the movements determines the smoothness of the second hand sweep, correct? I just bought a watch with Miyota 8210 movement at 21,600 bph, which is jerky. Just being curious - what movements have silky smooth sweep? My first experience with clocks/watches (when I was a few years old) was with a family wall clock. The clock had perfectly smooth second hand sweep...

i believe almost all watches gallery do 0% installment
just call up the bank and ask normally after you made the payment , call them up to arrange the payment into 0% installment for 12 months.. subjected to certain bank too..

It'll be perfect if it has Breguet type hands and lume. Strangely, the shop says the watch doesn't have a manual... and the box is randomly selected from a pile of similar looking boxes. Is this normal? The box itself is selling for $12.85USD.

From the watchuseek.com links you posted, the good reviews were from 2006 and bad ones from 2010, so decided to skip it. Went to a watch shop nearby, saw it, bought it. Googled the box number and saw skywatches.com.sg selling them...usually those Breguet hands do not have any lume. Brequet hands no lume... but nice. I have a thing for automatics with Roman numerical and Breguet hands. Cheapest I can find is Swatch...  This post has been edited by Dannyl: Apr 24 2010, 10:46 AM |
