Price Increase

Just came back from Ball Service Centre, I enquired abt the price increase in Apr 08, I was told that it will be a 12% - 15% increase and effective date is in 28 Apr 08

For those planning to buy a Ball Watch, better not wait too long ....

Bro, I afraid there was no mention on the price for it yet. I reckon it will only be announced at Basel.. But if its not a limited edition, I figure it will be cheaper than the somewhat similar DLC Engineer Master II TMT model.

thanks bro

No need see supervisor lar ,

They give me bad service i give them "compliment letter" through Email .

Such compliment letter i sent afew liaoz .

I did that so SG service std can improve and maybe the management will send them or the whole team at the outlet for customer service brushing up course .

no need 1 lah.. forget it and dont go bck there can leow loh... hahahha chin chye chin chye ... happy go lucky, not so stress ... hahahha

but sg service really cant compete with some other other countires 1... hehee

ya lor.. gian gian leh ... you interested in which model? Night train ar?? I'm interested in the Engineer II Ohio - Steel (see my post on page 60 of this thread) and according to the pricelist provided by Pet, it retails at $1450. Think at 38mm and 13 mm thick , it will make a good daily watch to wear for work leh. Others had mentioned that it is possible to get 25 to 30% off for it, so quite tempting lar. But if kanna a price hike, say 15%, then that will negate the tempting discount liao leh.. Haven't decide yet and then there is rumour of price hike .. pui!!

dunno got increase or not... but 15% increase quite alot hor...

i not interested in this model cos it's a 38mm, u should go see see try the other model also, i think 40+mm look leow nicer.
