QUOTE(deriku @ Mar 17 2010, 07:12 PM) I own a couple of Edifices myself and the design and quality is great for the price. But I thought most of the Edifice series use mineral glass - is that the same as sapphire glass? Pardon my ignorance Oops... seem like only the Gold series are eqiped with sapphire crystal  |

QUOTE(minizian @ Mar 20 2010, 10:46 PM) I still find that smaller watch really nice compared to big watch as i have a small wrist. thats great! the 38mm series are on base on ETA 2895-2 whereas those 46mm are based on ETA 2824-2. personally I like the 2895-A movement better. anyhow, its like a trend today.. even ppl with lady like wrist (small) they still wanna wear a 42-44mm watch. Added on March 21, 2010, 4:08 am QUOTE(ck77 @ Mar 20 2010, 10:44 PM) Try to check out at The Hour Glass Lot 10, they are having sales. wow... discount is steep today! Omega used to control their discount right around 18% when times are good. thats a good sign for shoppers!Saw orange and black PO (all 42mm) discount is 25% + 10% After discount RM8k++ Good luck  Added on March 21, 2010, 4:32 am QUOTE(CHiNO730 @ Mar 20 2010, 08:04 PM) I chose the watch because of its history, presence, and also because it's not too "mainstream" but not too exclusive where most people do not know what it is. Also, fellow Paneristi are a bit different from other watch guys. It's quite common to see some with a box full of a dozen or more Panerai. They'll own a few IWC, AP and other marque's, but seriously, a box full of Panerai's. what do u mean by other watch guys?its not uncommon to find those ardent watch collector to collect a box full of a certain brands or a particular kinda vintage watch regardless of price. if u been to one of those US watch shows u know what I am talking about.. u even find ppl collecting cheapo vintage timex watches. some only Japanese eg only collect citizen campanola complication. have $$$, anything is possible. today, its kinda "mainstream" loh... any kid who know a Tag or Seiko would know a Pammy.. I have to say brand awareness is along with the 5 match stick. ulu brands would be Girard Perregaux, Ulysse Nardin, Graham. This post has been edited by patryn33: Mar 21 2010, 04:32 AM |

QUOTE(de.crystal @ Mar 22 2010, 10:59 PM) any nice steel watch for budget ard 5k for beginner yet is classy? i havent got a proper watch yet, the most expensive that i have is just Armani. Others are like espirit or swatch, hope u guys dont laugh) 5K budget and classy... so much to choose from..from your nick.. I gather U are a lady? if u can give an idea what u prefer maybe guys here can suggest... need diamonds? leather? auto/quartz? size? shape? dial color? Added on March 23, 2010, 8:06 am QUOTE(don8ld @ Mar 22 2010, 05:13 PM) any bell n ross for small wrist? I have to agree with CHiNO730.those 39mm model iirc are all quartz.... not worth it for that price u are paying man. (they retail ~RM$9.6K) 42mm chrono use ETA (Valjoux) 775X movement all unmod, if its not COSC I think its Elaborated grade.. U can find such grade in many other watch brands for a fraction of the cost. those non chrono retail less but they are still at ~rm$11k. brands like Guinand (made Sinn watches in the past, maybe B&R in the past too) cost ~rm4.5K http://guinand-watch.com/index.php?option=...d=80&Itemid=220 This post has been edited by patryn33: Mar 23 2010, 08:06 AM |

QUOTE(CHiNO730 @ Mar 22 2010, 12:26 PM) Tag, Seiko, Rolex - all mass producers with millions of watches a year and stores everywhere. I do not think your statement is accurate. Even amongst the many that I hang out with who have the means to afford nice luxury goods are well aware of brand like Tag, Rolex, Omega and Cartier but have never seen or heard of a Panerai. I wouldn't judge them as misinformed, but Panerai simply does not spend the marketing dollars that some of these other brands put in. This becomes especially clear when owning a Panerai - there are many that are impressed by the size and design but have never heard of the brand. I doubt this would be the case when wearing a Seiko (I have owned quite a few) or a Tag. I am not saying that it is not well known, but a kid who knows of a Tag? I do apologize about my sweeping statement..  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. Added on March 23, 2010, 9:00 am QUOTE(douchebag2 @ Mar 22 2010, 03:30 PM) Any Franck Muller fans around? the discount for the entry level can be steep...I used to hate FM, But lately the more I see it, the more i'm attracted to it. But prices are ridiculous and it doesn't have much history compare to say - IWC or a Jaeger or even a Panerai  30% usually on those Hour Glass sales.. at times they can go for 50-60% off. know someone got a Limited edition for like 60% off on such sales. Added on March 23, 2010, 9:03 am QUOTE(minizian @ Mar 22 2010, 07:32 PM) hmm care to recommend 2nd hand (grey importer) watch shop ? 2nd hand and grey market is different know..2nd hand watches can still come with a valid factory warranty. grey market don't come with factory warranty and they are generally new old stock. One 2nd hand dealer I can think of is passions.com.sg This post has been edited by patryn33: Mar 23 2010, 09:03 AM |

QUOTE(douchebag2 @ Mar 23 2010, 12:38 PM) More so if you're wearing a bell & Ross, those things look like plastic! last yr on those Sincere/THG sales.. ladies watch and its a quartz though..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?  in fact FM resale value for those entry level watches extremely weak. |

QUOTE(inspire_evo @ Mar 24 2010, 08:16 PM) hello.., is there anyone know dealer/shop for Bell & Ross watch around K.L? and can anybody tell me the price range of the Bell & Ross watch? whats your budget? some one here also asking about B&R.. go back 2 pages and read.. and U will find some prices.Added on March 24, 2010, 8:33 pm QUOTE(ck77 @ Mar 24 2010, 12:12 PM) 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. I think less risk on WUS/timezone vs lelong etc.. esp U can't meet the person.Added on March 24, 2010, 8:52 pm QUOTE(de.crystal @ Mar 23 2010, 10:29 AM) oris i think is quite "normal" compared to brands like tag? The tag carrera is classy..btw 5k cant get a good a tag rite? any model which is classy for ball? 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.

QUOTE(altezza8448 @ Mar 25 2010, 02:14 PM) Any of you guys ever bought a watch from www.collectorstime.com? Quite skeptical about buying online as don’t know how authentic the watch is, plus unsure about claiming warranty as not all manufacturer have distributors here. not deal with him.. but plenty of good reviews on WUS/Timezone etc..wanna get something from them, and did check them out with a few forumers eg Elshan on WUS. check out fine... if sell fake U will definitely find lots of complains on these places (WUS/Timezone/Watchnet/pmwf etc) anyway, red-queen here father's friends are the owner. if u are worried.. U can go meet up and do COD.
