deliberating again........

[edsonchan]

dun buy!!! wait another 3-4 months, prices will ease further.

if MUST buy, IWC, for reasons stated above by all the bros here. plus a good watch for times like these, not ostentatious nor too fashionable.

actaully, let your choise reflect your own personality. if you r down to earth type, IWC. if you are the more fashion crowd type, Cartier.

A lot of people saying that the price will be lower... is that true???

Have anyone really seen prices dropped during economy turmoil before?

They might not raised their price. But for the prices to dipped, maybe in pre-owned shops. AD I think it is unlikely.

Look at Bezel, U boat have increased their prices and lowered their discount as well.

makes may not raise the price, but may allow ADs to offer greater discount. also look out for more sales from ADs and brand owners themselves.

U boat is a niche brand. u go show them a firm bid, see what discount they give you. bezel always have a very polished marketing, you go circa 8pm, when no one around, u ask them nicely but firmly. 20% discount plus round down, take it or leave it. i have thought long and hard about U boat quite a few times, but cant fall in love with it. any bros here know if U boat is cheaper abroad?

btw, part of the reason why ADs finding it hard to hold prices also becoz preowned residuals are dropping, to a level that the spread is too wide.

Yeah.

1 certain model list price went from 3100 t0 4000.

beyond the price, i need to fall in love with it first. the only one that sort of caught my eye is the thousands of feet, but i still not convinced. anyway, not buying ANY watches for now.
