H2oDunc Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Hi, My wife returned from the States last time via HK and bought me a beautiful Brietling dive watch. Lovely to look at, it looks like it doesnt have any glass and you can touch the hands, automatic, waterproof, obviously, to 100 mtrs and a bargain at 240,000 baht. A much more discreet watch compared to a Rolex and John Travolta has several. IF YOU CANT DIVE! RIDE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAnotherFarang Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 That is indeed a beautiful watch............and about 230,000 more than I wanted to pay. I am looking at the sub 10,000 bht mark........... or a lovely rich wife like yours haha JAF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me Omega Seamaster is much more accurate. I nearly bought a Breitling at Central just after the asian crash and regret it now. I do want a Patek Philippe but can not justify the spend to myself just yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustAnotherFarang Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 12,000 dollar discount ??, surely you mean 12,000 bht............and that discount is still more expensive than the watch I am looking at http://f05batchimg.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/us...091300004-2.jpg Made by Seiko, automatic and I can buy it online in Thailand too, looks very nice for just under 5000 bht, why spend more, its only a watch after all JaF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlBkk Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Some stunning watches in Central Chidlom - rarely have I seen such a choice of makes all in one place. I'm looking at a Carl Bucherer. Has anyone done their homework and compared the Thai prices (minus discount...minus 7% VAT refund) to prices available elsewhere, i.e UK or new online?

penguin Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 I purchased two Diesel watches from a stall on the ground floor of Pantip Plaza last week. They were asking 250 baht but after lengthy negotiation l was able to get the pair for 170 baht, a saving of 80 baht. The seller told me they were waterproof to 100m.

The only time I have compared quality watch prices they were cheaper in Singapore than Bangkok. I bought my Patek Philippe from Cortina watches in Singapore yesterday. I am pretty certain they have a branch in the Grand Hyatt Erewan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it somewhere in Thailand? Where would you like to buy a watch? From an on-line store located in the country in which you reside? What is your budget? There are hundreds of reputable on-line watch suppliers, but it's impossible to know what to recommend without even the most basic understanding of your location and requirements. I use Amazon, Yahoo and e-Bay "stores" frequently but have a U.S address and go back every ~ 60 days so ordering on-line is easy for me. I've made purchases from Chelsea Watch and WatchZone recently, for inexpensive Casio watches, both via Amazon storefronts. e-Bay ("buy-it-now") typically has the best deals, provided you can find the item you want.
