EPOS 3396le

[lojeffrey]

hey guys, what do you think about this watch EPOS 3396le? I saw it is limited edition, so is it still available to purchase?

Another Rolex Submariner wannabe.

That epos is now not so readily available in the shops. However if you do search hard enough, you might still stumble unto one. Try to look at places like the airport to see whether they are still available there.

I think you're better off buying the regular edition.
They're readily available and cost quite reasonable.
A limited edition like this with a different colour scheme is just a reason for them to charge you more using the moniker "Limited Edition"

I have almost bought one (gv?)sometime back. Just as I dig out my cash, I did the final check on the watch and discovered that the thread at the tube/crown had poor finishing and abort the transaction.....

i would rather buy the new-ish 3413.

[hanz079]

Yeah... I agree the 3413 is a better buy.
41mm and a myriad of bezel and dial colours to choose from...
And the design is not so close to the submariner...

[Everdying]

ya, the design is much closer to a PO
but i do like the coke bezel of the 3413.

Looks like an offspring from a Sub + Miglauss marriage.

Or worse...it is mistaken as a very bad Rolex fake

You probably be better off with a regular production.

My definition of limited edition is only when the real demand exceeds the supply by multiple times before it can justify the premium one has to pay. So at least when you let it go in the future, there are people who still want to get them. The worse is paying a premium and when you try to sell, no one wants it so no matter how "limited" the brand claims it to be, you end up the one losing.

Limited edition is an over-used word by brands nowadays.

If you really like it, wait to get a pre-own one...let the first owner take the hit

rolex + milgauss 
but actually looks great - certainly a head turner.
i don't mind getting it if the price is just a few hundred over regular models.

AIf I remember correctly, this model was a limited edition to celebrate a golf open tournament in Malaysia many years ago (easily 3-4 years). May be hard to find a new unit by now.

However, I came across a AD who still having it last year (keeping it in their warehouse). You can try your luck. (PM me if you want more information).

[gck]

the exact happened to me..i was about to pull trigger but the finishing is worse than orient which is RM1k cheaper..
At their price, steinhart is a better bet

I have almost bought one (gv?)sometime back. Just as I dig out my cash, I did the final check on the watch and discovered that the thread at the tube/crown had poor finishing and abort the transaction.....

Thanks for all your sharing about the poor finishing. Just wondering if that kind of finishing happened only to that model or accross all models? epos was one of my consideration when I purchase my 1st mid-range watch 12 months back, should I feel lucky I didn't pick it at last?

Pls share more information. Thanks.

epos is actually not that bad. well, its one of the mid range independent watch maker which i admired. I bought one several years ago. The finished and the dial is pretty good. I have no complain so far. But as usual, you will have to get right discount.

LE epos semi skeleton hand wound day date. I dont wear it very often. But its a very dressy dress watch with good craftmanship.
