Brand new unworn Ball Enginer II GMT II - worth buying ?

[Forumdatogong]

Dear Sifus, I am quite a newbie in watch collection. A local watch dealer approached my dad on a brand new unworn Ball watch:

Model: GM1032C-S1AJ-BK
price:rm3000
Condition: straight out of box brand new

Is it a good buy?

I'd stay away from Ball. Oh well it's your money buy what you like

[tonykpk]

what more can u get for only 3 k ?

[WHEELQ]

3k! Of course if u like it, grab it fast2! As one bro put it, what else can u buy with 3k especially when our ringgit has depreciated so badly.

Just out of curiosity, why would you want to stay away from ball?

Go for it if you like it....i saw the exact same model selling for more or less similar price at wingwah a couple of weeks ago.... Personally i may not buy this as i think the dial is a bit busy....ball gmt ohio is better i think.... But at that price, more than 50pct off, it's a steal....i may not buy it because of the style but i would certainly buy it for the price and if i am in the market for ball watches.... Honestly, at rm3k for a new watch i can't think of a better alternative....

I will buy it if and only if I like the watch and/ or I really like the GMT function.
Buying any watches just because it is cheap / steal, without really liking it is a bad idea. Unless you are getting a Rolex or Patek at steal price, where you can flip to make miney

Yes of course a very fundamental point...  It is indeed A steal but buy it only if you like it.....

But to be honest even if i encounter a rolex or a patek at a steal price i would even stay million miles away unless if the seller happens to be my father who will sell it to me at a 'steal' price..... Rolex or patek at a steal would only means a fake one unless from your dad or somebody with interest in you.....Lol.....

i would certainly 100% agree on this...the price itself sell..

[Devilzzz44]

3k? fast fast buy lor......

[contender]

well at the current exchange rate is only USD700 .... good for daily beater, rough use. Why not ? But don't expect to make $ or arbitrage coz Ball watches hard to sell 2nd hand and doesn't fetch much 

[Clicko]

Good price. If you dad likes the watch, why not.

[Timeless]

Fair deal, go ahead

[Calibr]

If not sure, don't buy. Seiko gives better value.

Wow. Brand new and unworn is only RM3000. I saw this model at one of the pre-owned shop selling at RM4200.

[akykmy]

hi, it's an old model so that's why it's offered at a big discount. if ur dad likes it then go for it. i think it's a good buy at the price as i remember last year looking at it and was offered 4K+ for it...

[elado249]

Rm3k is a bargain
