Watch Part V

[Weez911]

Be careful of who you consign your watch to. This new grey dealer disappeared overnight with consigned watches worth millions and donors' funding money.

U a really true blue nihon supporter, from Lexus to GS.

I got a fren who also mostly bought seiko/GS watches after the initial foray into swiss watches, GS lovers like u all are mostly "make it dun care abt resell value" towkay, in a way that's good cos u really buy what u love to wear, enjoy ur GS n wear it like a pro...

I support Japanese products simply because of its simplicity, no frills and most importantly reliability, really no choice. You are correct, especially in Thailand resale value if ridiculously low for Lexus cos European cars are deemed "towkay" while Japanese are well Japanese, moreover Lexus has a disadvantage to begin with as its a full imported car which is actually more expensive than in Singapore (without COE) so its like double whammy. 

Thanks

Roman will kena most of it. I remember Roman "sold" him a very expensive MB&F on 30-day credit term just a couple of weeks before. I bet he can't get it back too.

Hahaha, I have watched a few episodes of the The Timepiece Gentleman on YouTube. Anthony is a former (non-violent) criminal. Then got Marco and simi sai donno what other jokers. The new opening music is damn drama though. Like a cross between The Apprentice and a cop show. 😁 I've even watched the old show before the long format with the drama music.

I watched some videos yest and some say it's an elaborated scheme to cheat from the start, some say his business got into trouble, and a few say that was just a publicity stunt (he will reappear again).

Anyway the advice stays the same - beware of those fly-by-night dealers who appear to "make it" or carry lots of RM/gold Nautilus/Royal Oak/Rolex rainbow inventory. This industry is an unregulated one and customers bear most of the risks such as dealers running away with consigned watches, fake watches (Horology House), frankenstein watches, undeclared polished watches, wrong/fake papers, etc etc. Be careful when you deal with these dealers.

see their history, they got quite some name already actually. 4yrs+ , to me not really worth it to run away with few millions dollar.

unless is really bnankrupt etc.

 

so now even when buy from grey dealer, better to know your watches well if not kana fake.

@Dannnn SO sad if really got fake watch from grey market dealers. 

[Dannnn]

@vectra73 or like Weez911 say , frankenstein watch.

I noticed grey dealer dont really open caseback to check. they just use their scope to check the hands/dial/face.

In SG context, is an offence right? can do police report, provided can locate the grey dealer...

i remember reading somewhere the pawn shop dealer bought some rolex and subsequently found it to be fake and they made a police report and the police managed to catch the guy who sold the rolex and they made restitution to the pawn shop dealer...

Wow….   Like another vintage rolex seller many years ago…..but this one would really make good gossip since he was so glaring on social media.

Small timer lah, that one.

 I promised my wife this watch when she turns 50. Monday I surprised her.

But this year she's only 45 and the reason i brought the present forward is this current state of affairs with this Covid virus which had brought a lot of uncertainties to everyone in the world so it made me think of a lot of thing about life
