Watch shop in Krungthep

[fire2rescue99]

There’s a great watch shop in Pattaya on the corner of Klang and Buakhao. I have purchased several high quality ‘brand’ name watches from them over the years. They are trustworthy.

 

Can anyone recommend a similar type watch shop in Bangkok that they know and trust ?

Central has most of the bottom end watch brands plus Oris and Grand Seiko. MSRP $$ Thailand

 

What are you looking for?

[BobDobbs]

What watch are you after bro?

Lol. He referencedva tiny watch shop in Pattaya selling Citizen and probably low end Orient, Seikos

 

Did you go to the show in paragon? Ulysse Nardin, IWC? Omega must have a display

No I didnt but I have bought watches there in the past. Really good for the higher end brands

The OP is not looking for genuine high end watches. He is looking for the non-genuine high end watches. That is what the watch shop he referred to sells.

Nope, the shop he refers to is a professional watchmaker, as I know several high-end watch sellers in Europe who send their repairs to this person.

 

I agree he doesn't sell the high-end watches, like Rolex, rather the mid-markets like Citizen - Seiko - Casio

There are 2 shops right next to each other.  The one on the right, Mr Jack, certainly sells "high end" copies, somewhat better than the South Asian gentlemen on Nana are touting.  He also does a good job of repairs, fixed my Tag after I'd managed to knock one of the buttons off it.

plenty of 'vintage' watch dealers in Bangkok, but watchmaker that service high-end watch tend to be a separate entity, the service guys rarely sells, while the dealers can open the caseback, they won't be able to do much

 

While the dealers in shophouse that sells seikos and such will trade in Rolexes, plenty circulating around from pawnshops and all, they won't know their way around a patek for example

[fire2rescue99]

Thanks for the suggestions. Smokin Joe is correct.

[BobDobbs]

Ironically, these watches rarely fool watch bros. Women don't care. I assume all Rolexes in Thailand to be fake (unless it's an older oyster - which I love and knowing wears).I think most Thais will as well.

 

Breitling watches which I've never been a fan of often have extremely detailed dials and bezels very difficult to copy properly.

 

AP watches and the others .. the really excellent copies will cost you probably in excess of 45,000 b

 

Some very nice Seikos hitting the market. Far better choice in quality and ethics.

 

I'm not against sticking it to these large corporations that sell trash. That's not the ethical issue. Rather, it's you and your fake watch and your fake everything. This makes you in essence - a fake

 

These days many expensive 'swiss' watches are BS. Nevertheless, buying a copy of the BS watch just marks you as totally daft poser.

Swatch Group service overhaul is way out of line now. Up 150% over 15 years ago... Basically it's just Thai labor and a few parts.

 

I own two Omega seamasters one was inherited. If I didn't have this watches I wouldn't buy another Swiss watch due to service costs. Unbelievably out of line

 

Can't trust Thai watchmakers to work on a Chrono. Parts need to be ordered from Swatch and for that you need authorization.

 

Any true watch Bros should have a look at

Thanks, I wear a Timex. Don’t really need to enhance myself. Just inquiring for my fake friends.
