Brand new or pre-owned?

[danielove]

Personally I prefer a pre owned better than a brand new.

Brand new or pre-owned?

If pre-owned (anything) give me a great saving then I am ok. Else of is only a few hundreds in saving, I will buy a new one.

Any recommended place to get a sub?

Check the sales thread here?
If you wanna get it from a store, there are many reputable ones in Singapore.

Here are some of them:
Chuan watches
JW Horological
HJ watch
Koh Watches Enterprises

Hope this helps.

Pre owned. More value

[Oceanklassik]

If going with pre owned and with RSC not providing verification service. Which other recommended place can we visit for verification? Thx

There's plenty of info here where you can seek this service - Top Hour (lucky plaza), JW Watch (int'l plaza), Chuan Watch (not sure but they may be able to help), etc.

Brand new if it celebrates an occasion or a memory, otherwise pre-owned.

pawnshop pay bad price for this really wonderful watch. But I paiseh to sell it back to my AD cos I have exchange the watch 3 times (fm ladies size to mid size to men size) within a month before I finally bought this watch. My point is not all preowned watches are bad luck or beaten up. Some are fantastic and money worth.

bro mind sharing how much u bought the watch then how much u sell to money max?

For me i think about the resale value more so i have no problems wearing 2nd hand.

by the way the watch that I sold to Moneymax was in perfect condition as I took really good care of it. I do miss it at times, but I want another design and have found it here in this forum, need $ instantly that's why sold to pawnshop so that I could have my grail the next day.

[Koala10]

preowned all the way cos I am not rich enough to buy new. I did sell my rolex to pawn shop before cos I want to quickly change to another rolex as the design do not suit me and am lazy to toggle with formers for pricing, timing and meeting location. Therefore I have no qualms buying from pawnshop too especially moneymax cos they really have watch experts scritinising your watches for authenticity and conditions.

No harm in buying used watch if authentic and good condition

as long as verification is possible then the discount against a new one may be worth it.
