Throttle2 Supersonic September 19, 2011 Share September 19, 2011 Its down to this 3. Bro throttle, Brands like Rolex very seldom have clearence/annual/festive sales etc. But for hublot, will there be a possibility that I buy today and a clearence sale pops up tomorrow with 70% off or something like that? Dude, for Hublot Big Bang, that shouldnt happen.... I've never really liked the big bang although i dont find it ugly. I'm an old school guy with old school taste so i prefer old school watches. until today , i still havent bought an AP or the Patek 5712R.... Recently I bought a solid gold vintage DayDate, looks fabulously retro, clean and non fuss.... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felipe 3rd Gear September 19, 2011 Share September 19, 2011 Where can we find 2nd hand watches to buy? And anyone rate IWC here? there are quite a few used watch shops in SG. i've seen one guy in Katong Shopping Center who sells rolex, and another selling mainly Pams. if u go SG ROC, quite a few of these dealers advertise there, or u can buy direct from owners too. the only thing is for Pam, u cannot get it 'officially' verified as the agent don't do that anymore. i like IWC, don't know much abt it, but my fav is their Big Pilot, 7 day reserve. they are also well-known for their portuguese range. go for their in-house movements as their ETA are not that cheap to begin with.

Elshan Neutral Newbie September 19, 2011 Share September 19, 2011 Ya I actually noticed this on the day I went to see the watched, I thought to myself since it was such an expensive item there must be a reason why the screws are so inconsostant. I wonder why they cannot just have the screws/bolts alligned. Very difficult meh? The screws on the AP dont actually hold the bezel in place and hence for decorative purposes only. The hublot actually has real screws for the bezel.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hublot actually has real screws for the bezel.. i thot it does but dats besides the point. ap screws are tighened from the back (no way a hex screw can be turned), so from the front, it is always aligned. i tink so only cos i no money to buy one to check it out.

Iridrium 1st Gear September 19, 2011 Share September 19, 2011 Its down to this 3. Bro throttle, Brands like Rolex very seldom have clearence/annual/festive sales etc. But for hublot, will there be a possibility that I buy today and a clearence sale pops up tomorrow with 70% off or something like that? These are the classic range. There used to be a few in the resale market going for at least 50% off the retail price. My advice is to forget about those and go for Big Bang range. But then if that is within your budget, you might as well go for AP ROO. they are related now anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
