thanks guys... the wife likes the dark side too
Most of the rolexes (apart from the DSDD) in the pics are hers, plus a couple of PAMs. She's also got half a dozen J12...
well, on the high end stuff you end up paying more or less TD prices (sometimes on Hublot and APs just a bit more). On the low and mid range instead you can get pretty good deals. But you have to do your homework in advance and be prepared to stand by your prices...
I bought all of the reps from a guy in Chinatown that has got a showroom in Petaling St. 99% of these are top quality ones and even if sometimes I paid the odd $20 more than TD prices, having the opportunity to see the watches with your eyes before buying is priceless.
Good aftermarket service as well...

Thanks for your info bro. I think i should find sometime to make a trip to KL since it is so near to me......
I worked for the local airline.
And spent a lot of time looking at some amazing watches. Like a kid in a candy store.
Then I bought some watches (the pick of the bunch... really), lots of straps, a few watch boxes, some watch display cases... and plenty of tools.
An horological feast. I indulged on a weekly basis
Been back 3 weeks now... I miss it so much!
Cold turkey:frusty:
Right Mr. ZoSo... on the high end stuff there is very little room for manouver. In fact, my guy always told me that he makes a lot more money selling cheapos.
As I said, on many watches the TD prices were very much his rock bottom prices. When I went to his showroom (it makes me laugh to call that air conditioned smelly container in a back alley of KL ... showroom), I always carried my BB with me and always compared his best prices to Trusty's prices. Many times I walked out of a sale just because he couldn't match... only to go back and buy the same watch for $20 odd more...
We became friends and at the end there was no need to negotiate any more... he knew I would only buy if the prices were close enough to Trusty's. He also took good care of me whenever I had any problems.
All in all, I paid a bit more for some watches. However, if you consider that I didn't pay shipping charges and that I could touch and see the watches before buying, it was well worth it.
that's a huge advantage, getting stuff serviced cheap. How much does the servicing cost?
