yes bro i agree with you ..if i wanted a grand seiko its because of its vintage design . if im not wrong you also collect timepiece if not you would not like the " old fashion " design

Yes I do and I'm also beginning to like more things Japanese for its reliability and simplicity.

 

[Froggy]

No worries, I'm learning. Thanks.

sorry thread starter ...side track abit

japs make good cars and electronics even overtaking the angmos in many areas but when come to watches/time pieces still cannot touch the swiss yet imho.

no i dont have gs ...yes i have an auto watch winder . i personally dont think GS worth it price ..my panerai price keep increasing for the last few years ...dont know about gs . if gs is those limited edition or vintage the price might go up but not that much . frank muller is a watch that when the moment you buy you already lose money ...i made my mistake last time thinking that the price of frank muller will increase ..

you wait for him to die maybe prices will go up after that

I have been told that many swiss watch parts are now made in China. Then again if its true I am sure its sourced from very reliable and quality manufacturers.

sell you mine want anot ? brought it about 5 years ago before it become popular i have the papers and box plus extra belt

oh pam 241, let think, eh no. thanks for the offer.

well, now the swiss is trying to determine how many % of china parts in a swiss watch can be considered as swiss,,,,

some of the watches now, their parts are over 50% made in PRC,,,,,

as for me, i will be switching from automatic to quartz,,,,, less maintenance, and servicing costs a hell lot less,,,,, service an IWC sets me back $700 for a simple portofino,,,,,

yes ..some of those swiss watch parts are made in china ...depends on what brand .

 

[drifter]

even if he die ..it also depends on the number of watch he produce ...if its mass production then the value will not go up even if his whole generation die

why must let ppl know you are rich in the first place ? ...yes its about sin40k . the reason why i get pam about 5 years ago because nobody know what watch is that ( i like the design too ) ...only ppl who love to collect timepiece will appreciate it .

by the way ...if you can afford good timepiece i dont think you will take mrt .


ps : taking about mickey mouse watch ...hailed as the picasso of timepieces, Gerald Genta ( mickey mouse collection ) is one of the most exotic makers of wristwatches in the world today, and one of the most respected for his craftsmanship and technical skill... ...you go out at night walking in the back alley also dont worry kena rob

I cant wear that watch, it is just too artistic. That is if i can afford it, but i can't.
