lol, somehow it just doesn't seem to make much sense to me. selling the watch with/without receipt does not dispel the fact that the actual physical unit has been sold (?).

...or maybe my reasoning is just messed up lah laugh.gif

Bro, they just want to protect themselves from selling something below the control price. If they issue a receipt and it leaks out, it serves as an evidence for the company to take legal action against the AD.

Deal with cash, they can give an extra few % discounts if you talk to them bout it smile.gif Don't know how much discount my AD is giving for omega, if you're around PJ area I can check it out for you after CNY and probably you can get better pricing.

Want to ask, if i'm taking let say 3 watches without the boxes to Australia..will customs charge me tax on these watches?

Don't think they can tax you unless you're bringing it with box and if it's brand new smile.gif Just declare them as your own use. That's all that you'll need to do heh.

I change it with the usual shop I go to. If you're around PJ, pm me and I can recommend you smile.gif Btw, I don't get anything out of recommending it to you lol. I just felt that their service is good as I had a bad experience of going to some shop and they told me the watch was dead while most of the time I just leave it in the box sleep.gif

In fact, they wanted me to get a new watch. I refused and went to another shop and they replaced it for me with no problems at all.

Yes patryn33 is right. The company Titus is under a HK group now.
IMHO, TH watches are something you buy to wear and enjoy it rather than thinking about the resale value tongue.gif

Thanks a lot!

I was quite picky in terms of the day-date vs the date.
I can't choose the right one to fit. (the day-date is extra rm2k+ just for the day indicator)
That day i saw Omega  watches De Ville Hour Vision never know is so exp also smile.gif

Btw, what leather watches can i look for (i'm open for suggestion  smile.gif )
Budget not more than rm10k
*
I was like you when I was deciding on the carrera with date or DD. In the end I got myself the DD. For me the main difference is the size, and the usual date only version is too common IMHO. With the budget of around 10k, you actually do have a lot of choices smile.gif My DD runs +1 sec / day crown up and +- 0 when my dial facing up. That's what I can tell u bout the watch. Tho its not a chronometer, the accuracy is within the chronometer range. I was tempted by the omega speedmaster as well, but it just looks too small on my wrist. If anyone were to say every tom d*** and harry has it, he/she must have a lot of friends who are quite well to do eh? No offense taken.


patryn33: the Zenith El Primero doesn't look like a swatch, it reminds me of gerald genta sport without the subdials smile.gif

I got a decent discount from my AD, which is slightly more than 23%, cos I paid with cash. The strap feels different from my other alligator strap watches, as what I've noticed, I do not sweat much when i wear it for all day long compared to other watches I have (leather straps). Btw, I'm someone who sweats even when I walk in malls like 1 utama. I have actually looked upon other brands such as omega, oris, ball, ML and etc.. In the end I still went for the carrera DD as it suits me better, I'm still in my early 20s, an omega will definitely make me look more matured. No offense to anyone here by making that statement as that is my personal perception. Was eyeing for a IWC Portuguese 7 days reserve but IMHO its too dressy for me and of cos the main concern was pricing a bit too steep for my wallet. Don't worry bout the size, once you go for something bigger, you'll never look back at those small ones anymore. ML does come with chronograph, ML pontos chronographe, pricing is cheaper as well.

Jason: Tags are everywhere because of their strong marketing and versatility; but not those models with the RRP of 5 figures like GC. Its just like comparison of honda and toyota, where toyota are more sellable as they have cars of lower range in the 60k+ range while honda starts from 85k+ onwards. Longines do make a lot of nice watches, those nice ones you can hardly find them in malaysia. As far as what I saw from those AD selling longines, mostly are dress watches. By the end of the day, I don't really care if Tags are everywhere cause the model I'm having is a higher end of TH rather than those common models. Cheers.

nando: Bumped into an uncle wearing the orange omega PO, very eye catchy smile.gif Will definitely get one when I approach my late 20s. Prefer something more sporty right now. Chronograph in short.

I'm looking for a ladies watch with the criteria - automatic, round, no diamonds, MOP, preferably chrono, 33mm - 40mm, white leather strap. If anyone have something in mind please post the model number here or PM me. Thanks! Price range up to RM10k.

If its EMII Engineer Diver I would've already seal the deal with you haha. Anyway, I just talked to my AD the other day. He's giving me 20% for omega, but didn't really negotiate with him cos I'm not prepared yet. Wait till I figured out to get Ball or Omega blush.gif

Most likely yes. Perhaps you can give them a call. smile.gif

That's what I meant, though TAG was common yet I ended up getting the CV2A10. I can recommend a place which can give good pricing in klang valley (>18%). I can meet you there and recommend you to the fella, he's a nice chap to talk to. Gave me an offer that was irresistible. Anyway you can check out longines grande vitesse, very nice timepiece. I saw the actual watch in curve, beautiful time piece and I can get a good pricing for longines as well. ORIS makes good watches as well but I got the same problem that I doesn't feel comfortable on my wrist.

Hi jr.Koh,

Does this shop Tag/Oris watches?

They do carry ORIS but not TAG smile.gif ORIS usually no problem in getting 25% lol. Btw, even some brands that they don't carry, you can ask the boss heh. Eventually I'm looking for a green sub, he says he can get it for me if there's stock thumbup.gif

Hi Jr..why didnt you go for the Hour Glass sales then? Although i think Omega 20% is quite good..

I know one of the sales girl over there. Don't think the models are the one I'm interested in, I'm contemplating between Ball Spacemaster Glow and Omega PO 45.5mm black face with red numerals. I love the lume on Ball but the Omega is tempting as well. Can't decide lol. If not, getting the speedmaster reduced for ladies for my gf if I can't make up my mind.

terencetoo, something for you.. the wrist shot of my DD

Better not to stereotype all teenagers. I'm in my early 20s and I know my stuffs, not just because "kids" who look at tags do not know about pammy. Watches like glashutte original, gerald genta, lange n sohne, FP, AP and the list goes on are not quite hype in Malaysia's market. First of all, the earning power of Malaysia is disappointing, an average joe won't be able to spend like say 50k on an AP. Hence, they won't even bother walking into shops like SINCERE and not know about it. Different strokes for different folks, and yes I'm the type who looks at the outlook first before the movement. Btw, cortina watches do give a big chunk of discount when they have private sales for CIMB preferred members smile.gif

Jason, I've got the same experience as you with Wata Txxe in 1u smile.gif Go in and check out and asked for the prices, they simply quote you. Anyone who wants to get ML, Tag, Omega, and some other brands I can get cheaper prices compared to outside from my AD. CC or cash also can but of course CC you'll get lesser discount due to the charges of banks to the company. It all comes in whole set but of cos if you want exclusive discounts as such you're not entitled for the receipts, this is for them to protect themselves. Feel free to PM me. I would love to see more people having the ability to acquire something they like. Cheers.
