I have to correct you on the image. This is not a IWC Da Vinci but the Gran Complication. It sells for U.S.$300k for platinum maybe cheaper if 18k gold/rose gold.

 

A stainless steel Da Vinci, perpetual calendar sell in the Phils for less than P1.0million.

I used to wear a Tag that my hubby gave me... I hardly wear it coz its too damn expensive for my taste... I'm afraid that I might loose it...

you are correct, the rattrapante (dual chronograph) is only available in platinum; sell for about US$17000. the perpetual calendar/chronograph (single) is available in stainless steel.

US$31,000 ang platinum casing mas cheaper ang gold casing. 1.5 M na ang value sa atin. sa experience ko mas cheaper dito sa pinas bilhin ang watches. two years ago a friend of mine bought a rolex watch worth 280,000 pesos pero pag sa US ka bumili it would cost you $7000. i bought my rado diastar anatom for $1400 (70000 pesos) 6 years ago. when i went to manila to have it fixed sa rado center nagulat ako 50k pesos lang ang price. ganon din kaya sa IWC dude?

rolex watches from authorized dealers are generally sold for the same price worldwide. the prices are controlled by rolex. the only variables are if you buy one from a place where it's duty free, then the retail price would be a little lower, the currency conversion rate, and sales tax. purchases in places like the US carry a sales tax, and the sales tax varies from state to state.

 

if rolex finds out that a dealer is undercutting others and is selling for less than what rolex authorizes, rolex has been known to take back their merchandise from that dealer; and the dealer loses their authorization to sell rolex products.

generally, quality watches in the Philippines are sold much cheaper than in the U.S. but not significantly. i've been checking the prices of IWC in U.S. based watch store websites and prices are almost identical to those sold here. based on experience, buying it in cash would allow you to negotiate a bigger discount than buying it in credit. i have no idea if cities like singapore and hongkong sell them cheaper.

 

if you plan to buy a watch here, get it from rep*table stores like washington for rolex, tudor and cartier and lucerne for AP, IWC, Patek, Jaeger, Rolex, Zenith, etc.

many dealers in hongkong and worldwide give a bigger discount to people referred to by close friends or relatives.

Hmm, any chance where to find those russian watches? Cool

My wife bought me a Timex chronograph

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

 

you can order them direct from the vostok site at http://www.vostok-inc.com/

 

timex are tough watches. am sure it is special kasi bigay ng wife mo

[DaVincilog]

other alternatives are secondo in glorietta and manila watch gallery above shangrila makati if you want box and papers.  if box and papers are not that important, check your local ebay listings under watches or bidshot.  beware of bogus watch sellers who are stickup men in disguise.  trade with rep*table ebay dealers who have high number of feedbacks.

has anybody checked the depth rating of these 'commie' watches?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

 

according to the comrades from the vostok website, they are rated at 200 meters

[DaVincilog]

anybody know where i can get a NATO strap?

 

also any info on the movement of Orient watches?
