Sat spent with independents
« on: November 20, 2010, 03:44:49 PM »
Slow day in the boutiques went in to check out the new AP divers, too bad no pic.
Love it but not enough to want to buy it. The normal Royal Oak is still the best  ;D. Good looking sales girl there too who is frenly and showed us anything we want to see.

On to an AD which sells independent brands and had a nice chat there with the sales. Very frenly also.
Below are the ones i managed to snap pics of.

On Jacky's wrist a Mühle Glashütte.


My main reason for going there, found out from Peter Speake-Marin's FB that they now carry his brand.
Very light weight and great enamel dial.



Didnt want to trouble people to take out all the packaging so this pic will do. Superbly finished movt.


Just arrived yesterday. Franc Villa 5-minute repeater.


I think because still in the plastic wrap. Not loud at all, very faint chime.


All in all had a great time today. Most people we meet were more than happy to show us watches even over 100k. Even though they know we cant afford it. Thats the right sales attitude.

But sad to report 90% of the shops wont be participating in the Journey Through Time even this year. :Blue:
Reason being of the stupid construction going on at the front door of Star Hill ! Dont even have a proper door to go in and said all tenants complaining. :(

PS: Abel you soooo lucky to have meet Peter last year and the watches you see here now were just prototypes when he showed it to you last year.

Yup.... That time he told me was just prototype... The only one at that time....

Not sure if he is coming down again as he did came here few week ago (not chance to meet him cause his schdule is hectic). I believe the one you were holding it is the one he bought to malaysia
