Really?? Thot its limited to 1178pc world-wide.. The IW320104, The Pilot’s Watch Automatic Edition Antoine de Saint Exupéry in stainless steel comes with brown buffalo leather strap. Or are you refering to IW371709 Montre d’Aviateur Chrono-Automatic Saint Exupéry.

Or am I totally confused??

....IWC Pilot watch chrono automatic Antoine de Saint Exupéry's.....they quoted me S$7800 and without discount. ......

Triton, that I've thought off... specificially the model I am after but since he is there on a business trip, if there is a confirmed answer that prices there are okay, I may just ask him to go to the big chain watch dealers, else don't wish to waste his time... pai seh to ask him to scout around lah. ;P

Hi Henry, apparently someone mentioned in this thread that NYC price after currency conversion is cheaper than Singapore leh.. I was also told that Dubai is also cheaper than Singapore.. I think u mant only Asia is it? As you've stated, Hong Kong should be cheaper and Malaysia then Singapore cos Malaysia don't have GST and their luxury tax doesn't apply to watches or jewelery.

AFAIK, the cheapest watches (besides speculative models) in the world are in Malaysia, Singapore and Hongkong. No need to look elsewhere.

Yo brothers.. anybody knows if IWC watches in Taiwan is cheaper than Singapore? Out of curiorsity as my buddy is over there now. Cheers!

what i think you should do is check out the price of any particular model and see the discount. then compare it over there. easier.

triton, good point to note.

Hmm.. to be honest, I am rarely at town.. I can only do calls but most AD won't give you discounts over the phone unless you know them... THG is an exceptional case cos of the person I told you about.

I think its more safe to say 2 for now as Louis say got no fund / lost interest.. my purpose was to sia him only lah. kekek but I did told my AD to keep a look out, if available, he may be tempted again?

Daveevan, maybe we can liaise via PM... and not take up bandwidth on this thread. whatever we discussed privately and only disclosed to the rest to share our deals after we have completed our acquistion of our watches.. what say you??

great, keep me updated

twist rock bottom? how to twist? u teach me can?

what i will more inclined to do is visit at least 2 different AD, say sincere, HG, or cortina and say i intend to get 3 IWC watches, models being XXX,YYY,ZZZ.

take note of list price and discounts given @ one AD and compare against another AD. then you will be able to see the amount discount given.

on top of it, it is better for the 3 of u to appoint 1 chief negotiator. which means the other 2 will not play a part in negotiating on the day itself. all discussions must be carried out prior to entring the shop.

for me, if i cannot get the discount/price i want, i walk away. r u willing to do it? this is because i believe in the principle of not paying more than necessary when buying an item @ a particular time

Well thought & Fantastic strategy

[triton]

agreed with Triton.

There is a rock bottom we can go (kekeke.. for triton to twist again)
But I believe with the referal + 2 genuine customers to him at one go will help us negotiate a better price than their Standard discount.

Right now, fortunately 2 of us (even if include louis), there is no conflict in interest on a particular model.

Basically, all is still a dream until we secure and made the purchase then we will know what the possibilities are.. but hope it will turn out well for all 2 (if not 3) of us.

thanks bro , really appreciate your effort. Yeah will try to accumulate more bros who is keen on IWC and get more discount

eh.. no need liao lah.. 3 is good enough.. even if just you and me, should be okay. The more ppl, the more complex it gets. I don't want to be held responsible. :P

getting more people to buy does not equate to more discount. this is because they still need to earn a certain margin.

also the more watches to get, does not mean they got stock. if no stock then how? who gets priority? first come first serve? besides i think some models you are looking @ got low/no stock

By the way, I am doing the above as a genuine attempt to help. There are no strings attached nor do I stand to benefit. Maybe the ultimate benefit is that whoever is going to purchase it there and then, we can all press them for the best discount possible.. min 2 watches he'll sell leh.. hahaha

bro Louis, if you really dun want hor, let me know k? no pressure...
