good thread. choices are simple for me:

new watches are sure to drop value the moment you wear it. new watches are also in my opinion over priced.
where as preowned is cheaper, more fun to buy, and you talk to someone who actually knows the product, not someone who want to increase their commission for the month.

no superstituition on my side, i reckon its a bunch of nonsense. all those numbers and how to avoid... i just take it with a pinch of salt.
my dad once said 8 in cantonese is "fatt" but listen carefully in english and it becomes something else ... so better not just blindly listen and go buy all the 8s

i prefer my money to be spent elsewhere.

like s'poreans say "ai pi, ai qi, ai tua lip ni" that is me, so unless you get some super lobang selling at great prices, i doubt i will be buying brand new for the time being.

Got the inspiration from one of the members....to start this thread.

Do you guys avoid preowned for certain reasons? Like superstitious or anything?

Pls share ur views...time for me to share mine

Heard that some people think that preowned bring bad luck. hmm...for me I would say it depends. It's more of a yuan fen or fate you have with the watch. BE it brand new or preowned it's still depends on fate. Doesn't mean a brand new will not bring you bad luck and a preowned would bring you bad luck.

In any case,I still did have gd and bad encounters with preowned and brand new. Sometimes,brand new even...the watch somehow dun like u,everytime give u problems,everytime have to visit the service centre. At times...u buy a preowned it rarely or never steps into the service centre.

My stand is...preowned or brand new will not affect you actually...depends actually if the watch likes u or not hahaahaha...
