Visiting Penang. Where to buy watches?
« on: February 12, 2011, 05:13:06 PM »
Hello all,

I live in Hong Kong and will be visiting Penang in March. Now, I know Malaysia and HK are the best places to buy watches. I bought one last week and you can see that Breitling on Watchuseek under the topic "Breitling kid" in the respective forum. http://forums.watchuseek.com/f15/diary-breitling-kid-502827.html

The last time I was in Malaysia was in KL, 3-4 years ago, and my friend bought a TAG F1 Alarm there with a discount hard to get in HK, due to distributor requirements.

Maybe times have changed but I am planning to buy one more watch this year, and although the exchange rate is not favorable, I still hope to leave Penang with a beauty on my wrist. Something like TAG or Oris, I think. Does anyone know a good place to get these with reasonable prices?

Oh, and if anyone needs advice on buying watches in HK, please feel free to ask!

Kung Hei Fat Choi from HK!

Welcome to the forum and Kung Hey Fatt Choi!
Penang do have few authorised dealers, though not as many as in KL. Please check your PM.
Enjoy your stay in Penang and Malaysia.

Thank you for the PMs. Hope to see more of those. Greetings from a cold HK!

Are any of the shops doing a promotion/sale of some sorts?

Shops in Malaysia hardly do promos one unless they are clearing those outdated models.
