Would you buy one from them ?

Hehehe...I said liao mah...not worth to sell. But worth to buy or not is up to you la...

If you want something nice looking but dun bother the resale then go for it...I have to say their designs are great

Well, it's alirght to own one or two IMHO as Ladies love These BIG FASHION names in the industry. More Bling Bling Diamonds the Better they feel. Most ppl who buys them is more for the GLAM look at PARTIES or any Big Fashion Show. It does not matter whether if your Watch has an In-house Movement or What ever Caliber the watch maker does. All it Matters is the Branding and the Bling Factor ! There's no much of the resale factor here unless the Fashion Industry flavours something which what most called it Limited Edition.
Somehow, L.E is part of the MARKETING gimmick to make it Attractive to consumers. To own a L.E makes one feel as like part of the FAMILY things and also the desire to feel privilege, isn't it ???

Personally I would go for "LOCMAN" timepieces. I love the the Italian work of Art and their line of timepieces looks not bad either. I'm hoping to get one BLING BLING Watch from LoCmAn to compliment some Parties if I am Invited.

Is Bvlgari classified as fashion house watch? I think only Bvlgari can give a little resale value when compared with brands like LV, Gucci, Chanel, Prada, etc...

Hermes now owns vaucher...apparently some movement-making powerhouse...i have to say tho i aint never seen a vaucher watch..and had never heard of em till hermes bought em over..

Thot it was vacheron constantin or sumpthin...heheh..paiseh

Yes it is. All resale equally SUCK. Unless u can find a buyer for yourself that is.

agree....nice but resale value very low...

Bvlgari, Montblanc (Minerva) and Cartier are ok...but not so for the rest like Armani, Chanel and etc...

That I think quite true...Bvlgari,Mont Blanc (Minerva movement) and Cartier are the more renowned brands...Armani is buy liao not worth a cent 1 hahaha..Chanel is ABIT better than Armani or Hugo Boss etc

[seadweller]

personally i like LV quite a bit so considering a time piece to match one of my wifes maby LV bags

hence considering a LV tambour automatic nonetheless

Actually, chanel has a new chrono that's quite badass...and it houses the zenith el primero movement!

U are a real prada boy like myself a long time ago....did you manage to go in for the sale? I was put off by the long-ass queue
