I ordered another Laco..

No loss lah Bro, 4.3k is a reasonable price only. For the normal 3717, I've seen Passions sell one before at $3.9k in pretty good condition, almost managed to get it but didn't. Dunno why but I'm reluctant to pull the trigger on a 3717. Maybe because its too modern looking?

Oh bro.. you mean got cheaper ones? $4.3k is before gst lor.. GST again..

[toffeesthings]

Bro.. you know i missed one IWC 42mm spitfire chrono back in dec time when i over slept.. Mint condition asking for 4.3k.. I thought it was a good price so I wanted to wake up early on sat.. When I woke up, it was already late afternoon liao..

Chill bro, its not a very large sum but yeah, it still doesn't feel good. I think Mark XVs are getting rarer, maybe you should consider the next reasonably priced one that comes along. There used to be quite a fair number traded on the garage but they are becoming a rare sight these days. Conversely, you see alot of bros flipping the 3717 pilot chrono, suggesting that size it not the only determinant of a nice pilot piece.

Hehehe......i simply dun think so....TAXES are totally unavoidable...so have to pay lor...sigh....

wow lau..still received a letter from IRAS asking for $300 dollar..

[leslie]

Can't siam one bro! When I bought the Laco Type A 55mm last year, also kena tax of $120 or something. Going back to the topic of IWCs, maybe a Mark XV will be a nice keep-sake. Not that small in size and retains the look and dimensions of the old Mark XI.

Darn! I pulled the trigger five time then, hehe...well, then only the IWC Mark XII with the JLC movement seems to be the one to get, but its puny 36mm size might not be to everyone's taste.

Bro..Your IWC are the older version so the movements are still being modified by IWC themselves..Those affected are the newer watches..I was trying out the Explorer 36mm and it looks funny on me, even when my wrist is just 6 inch plus abit..I guess wearing too much big watches do affect ur judgement..

[toffeesthings]

Bro..Actually I was sourcing for a IWC Mark XV or XVI recently before getting these 2 Lacos..I did not pull the trigger on the IWC after reading that the recent watches are using movements finished by ETA to IWC specifications..Meaning that IWC just dump the entire movement into the watch..LOL
