How do you know when is there a Watch Sale?

[D'Andy]

I wanted to get a watch as gift to a new acquaintance, and went to see if there was any good offers at a few watch shops that I have made repeated purchases in a shopping mall. Oris Divers Sixty-Five caught my fancy and I was pleasantly surprised when the shop straightaway went over the normal Oris discount (season buyers would know) to give me the nett price. A quick check online showed that it was even cheaper than some online shops that I used to buy from, and we have to further factor in an additional 10-15% for online purchases these days being GST, clearance, and shipping fees. The Manager told me that the locals were not buying these days due to the economy, and they were heavily sustaining on Mainland Chinese tourists' purchases. So they were now motivated to close sales for cash flow, especially with known repeated customers. This could be good news for us collectors.

Are you looking at the 40 mm or 42 mm version? I am more inclined for the latter but then again the original 65 is more like the former.

The rubber strap quite Narrow

I was more partial towards the 42mm Sixty-Five. It had the impact that struck me when Tudor first release the Black Bay (flipped), only entry-cost for the Sixty-Five was much lower in comparison to BB.

There are some good ones. Unfortunately, GS is not part of it.

[ahmad anuar]

basic sale around 10 - 20 %

You don't need to wait for exhibitions to get that paltry 10% - 20% (depending on brands, of course) discount. Most shops would accommodate a higher discount as long as they could still make a decent profit.

Normally, hot models are not available during sale period, rather the off season models, IMHO.

Just saw this in a FB Post:




Just sharing
If any of you who is going, please share your view of the sale

Valiram having sale on watches and other stuff like TUMI bags at JW Marriott hotel now, ending this sunday.

There is an Oris exhibition and sale at One U old wing. But was told discount is circa 28%-30%, so ain't that attractive as I could get higher at my regular ADs.

[elado249]

28-30% not high? Where's ur AD at? Haha mind sharing?

We are not supposed to talk of ADs' discounts here, but regular watch buyers would know that discounts for Oris could be gotten slightly north of what was given at that exhibition. You could PM me if you want the location of the said AD. Cheers.
