  • Keep Cash or Spend on Really Good Deal?

    waiting for things to happen at work so decided to post this question..

    seems like these days it's just bad news after bad news, and a supplement in last sunday's Sunday Times confirmed that some local companies are already retrenching/shrinking, while some are tightening their belts...

    a question for the brothers here - if there is a watch i.e. Rolex, going at a really really great price (really hard to get offer), considering the tough times ahead, will u go ahead with it or pass it by?

    走在人挤人的走道 我问了自已
    没有爱情的人是否会长命
    坐在没有人的角落 我又问自已
    究竟应该继续 还是该放弃
    没有人能了解我 现在的心情
    想看你 想躲你 难以决定

                  as long as in your comfort zone, you are OK. dont borrow to buy luxury goods. simply not worth it.

                        thanks for the replies.. was bored at work so decided to start a talking point. ha!

                        i think amount will have to depend on the model (plus condition & package), while comfort zone depends on the financial stability of each individual..

                        personally i am not a high roller, but i kinda agree with bro james that rollie prices will only go north. so if i find myself an irresistable offer, i will grab it! but provided my financial stability is there & i know i can weather the current storm.. hee!

                              to be honest the prices that people are willing to pay for a used timepiece will never cover your initial outlay. so in all honestly, we can rule out ALL hope of making money on a new piece.

                              given that i was offered a piece at good condition/price. will i bite? most likely. but i will have to be in a financial position to purchase it.

                              like today, 3 dealers ring me up and ask whether i want to buy car or not. this tells me that, these dealers are getting desperate, and that they will even go thru their former mailing list and keep in touch with them.

                              today i could have test drive mini cooper S, lexus IS-F,

                              indeed. the WG is my dream, but for now, it will remain just that .
