Title: which one will you get?
Post by: silverstan on December 17, 2012, 10:33:49 AM

giving you budget for a brand new 116520, will you get 116520 or source for preowned 116523 or maybe top up for prewoned 116518?

Woah... long time no see bro.
And once u post... it's an incoming major purchase...  ;D
As for your query... TT are easily in the pre owned market for a good price... if you feel you can carry em... why not?
I am a stainless steel guy... have yet to own a precious metal cased watch... maybe when I am abit older.

haha, been busy with my house renovation recently. All my free time spent on freshome, houzz & homedsgn website.
Since this project unlikely can be completed before Chinese New Year, so spend little time to browsing my next watch.
With too little budget for so many things in my wishlist.... really need to do my research again.

Maybe i am getting older... start look at some precious metal watch.. LOL

Between a 116520 and 116523, I went with the 116523. More dial choices.

The 116518 is slightly more and very nice, if you like the leather strap. Might be a good option too so you won't have to worry about bracelet scratches although strap changes will cost around RM1k+

i'm still 15 16, can't make up my mind which one to get... that's why asking for opinion. LOL.
Not really in rush, cause my house renovation still on going & just ordered this for my wife as present.

Hi

You have a good taste, my wife too has spotted this. Whats the size?

I remember she saw one which is a little big in Singapore.
