Uniquely Singapore

[Watcha]

There are people who ask me that

No it's asian movement inside. Aaa grade.
S$13,888 firm.

Yes it's an interesting observation.

Also there are always people contacting for items that had been sold some time back.

Hahaha..

the word some time back is an understatement.

Just another uniquely Singapore style...... some will leave their numbers not 1234567 but one two three four five six seven... i also dunno why?

I think some even leave their email with a space in-between.
Reason could be to prevent a google search from triggering a search online for such contacts?

Cos let say some one with 1234567 called u, a google search might link up the info etc.

Not sure if my opinion is correctly interpreted but that's what I think.

I think even if u put space in between...also it can be seived out by google.

there can be few reasons,

1. potential buyer maybe a seller in the forum has clone nicks, as such asking seller to contact instead help the member able to distinguish
2. potential buyer wants to 'test' how keen the seller to sell. different people have different interpretations

When a seller lists his items for sale, he'll put his contact details and say "please contact/pm/email me for enquiries/assistance"..we'll then have members/potential buyers here who will reply to the sales thread and say "i'm keen in your watch, please contact me at XXXX..." why can't buyer just contact the seller directly instead of asking the seller to contact him? is this what we call "buyer is BIGGER than seller" mentality? If you can reply to the sales thread, why not pick up the phone to sms or email the seller directly?

maybe this is uniquely singapore??

[triton]

not meaning to filter. but rather some forum is known to blank out the contacts if it detects more than X number of digits in sequence.

overseas and local sets should technically command different price. for reasons i believe most can figure out

some people dont like serial number 4 and 6 as 4 is considered inauspicious and 6 maybe associated with the dark side

Ha. Very strange. I noticed too. Singapore got many strange things....

1. Local or oversea set?

2. I am keen. Please call me at 12345678.

3. Got 4 or 6 in serial number?

some people dont know what does the acroymn BNIB means

One of my fav questions that buyers ask me...for my BNIB Daytonas

Bro...is it new?

Good enough to fool RSC .

Else you can put, imported set from europe, original swiss mov't inside

...the word some time back is an understatement.

You would think that people read the post and take a look at the post date before posting . And for sales thread, PMs are usually best.

I think even if u put space in between...also it can be seived out by google.

yes, can be done, the best is to make a picture with your details, and then hotlink it to your post. i believe searchbots still are unable to read pics.

Got a fwe new ones....

"I find your dress watch too dressy"

"I find your sports Rolex too sporty"

"I find your sports car too powerful"

After trying on the watch, "Oh, I didn't know 47mm is so huge. I pass"

Quoted word for word....by a 'so-called' watch expert....in real life....

[shuseido]

not really bro..look at the sales thread and you'll see this common trend..

even when seller say to pm if there are any enquiries but a lot of buyers will reply to ask seller to contact them...

Ahhhhh.... I must be too in-sensitive on this. Next time will pay more attention. Hahahaha...

some people dont understand the notion of vintage (not just rolex, but pretty much everything in general).

old does not always mean cheap/bad/etc.

i say let them be. when i first got into watches, i asked myself, which siao kia would pay so much for an old piece, it was once i research, that i learnt that you pay for the history and heritage behind the watch.
