gstc82 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Sorry to dissapointment u, not to sound proud but u can't buy a luxury watch for $1000, basic luxury watch cost a bare min of $5000. I rather u don't buy watches with "brands" like AX, Gucci, amani. I rather buy a good g shock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schmuckisms Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 If you're really 19, get something uncanny. Maybe a Nixon and a Nooka.Luxury watches fit the age group as good as a premium polo shirt. Surely posh, but... crikey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest -None- Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 I collect fine watches. And as a collector, I think with the 1K budget, you can't buy any luxury watches at this price range. Sorry to say this but Tissot, Tag Heuer (low end range like the F1 series or the aqua bracer series doesn't count into luxury watch category. And if you're looking to a Tag that's within about 1K range, my suggestion is to go with Longines or Baume & Mercier of the similar price range will make more more worthwhile. The starting point for luxury watches are around 5K and up (after discount and negotiation). Happy watch hunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest -haolian- Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 $1000 u can only buy a watch, not a luxury watch. If $1k can become luxury, then Rolex is royalty?Pls la, haven start earning, think of spending already, only 1 to haolian. buy 1 rolex then haolian la... age 19 best is G-Shock... wan to be stylo, bring a clock lor....

outernet Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Luxury watch for a 19 yr old???It's like buying an expensive posh LV handbag for a teenager. Can he carry it off?As mentioned by others earlier, g-shock or baby-g is good enough for a youngster at this age. Or Adidas... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gstc82 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) Ts, there is nothing wrong with a tag. It fits your age n it's of good quality. I got my 1st tag at age 21, Cost $500. My 2nd tag at 28 at $3500. I am lucky to have a panerai n a iwc big pilot now but these two are not really "luxury" watches but good watches for my age group.

gstc82 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 No diff if your price range is on the lower end. For luxury watches, it's base on the people u know n type of watches u buy. Some brands like u boat, the sales guy can knock off abt 30 to 40% off retail price, where brands like Rolex, dun give discounts or extremely little. For iwc, it's own shop at ion orchard don't give discounts but if u know the right guy at shops like sincere, he may offer u some discounts abt 5% .

Guest watchseekers Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 so example my Watch X costs $900 at the X boutique and when i go to Sincere and nego with the person he can give me 15% off ... so does it come with conditions and things that are different compared to the watch i bought at the boutique? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gstc82 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 I can always try. But I don't think they will knock off 15% on watches that cost $1000 or less. N brands like tag are in demand n prices are already low, I don't even think u can get 5% off. But u can always try. I don't think sincere watch Carries watch that are if lower cost. Buying a luxury watch or product is also about the experience. But pls don't haggle over price as it never classy, try to if u only really want to buy.

Guest watchseekers Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 i asked watches of switzerland and they are willing to lower my Tissot T race down to $748 from $880 abt 15% without any conditions so i feel suspicious ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gstc82 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Nothing to be suspicious abt lah. That company is N established watch shop. What are u suspicious abt?

Preferably look fashionable and can be worn on a daily basis with casual wear. My budget is $1000 .Help will be appreciated. Thanks $1000? As many have mentioned, you can't find "luxury" watches with that price. You can find nice watches with $1000, but don't go around telling people it is a "luxury" watch...cos those who collect watches and know watches will be laughing behind your back.Fashion brand watches have no re-sale value. Always better to get a watch from the various watch maker brands if you are looking to invest. Edited August 26, 2012 by Centrino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercutio Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Sorry to hijack this thread, but what do you guys think of an army boy buying a LUMINOX watch that costs $400? Its a birthday gift for myself and love the style. Any comments on the quality/better alternative?If you like the style, that's all that matters.Luminox is an established brand, American, but most famous for having come up with that glow-in-the-dark Tritium inserts used by tons of watches nowadays, from cheap made-in-China timepieces all the way to Patek Philippes. As a watch, it probably lacks some brand power, being American and not Swiss made, but again at this price point and for this class of watch, it makes rather little difference. In terms of "quality": that's highly subjective, although at that price point and given that's it's a quartz watch, the only real quality issues would be durability - ie how much bashing it can take, in which case Luminox is probably ok. Quartz watches aren't going to have issues like mechanical ones - eg losing time etc.Personally I think it definitely makes more of a statement compared to the ubiquitous G-shocks. And Luminox being a watch company itself, with reasonably respectable background, I'd personally rank it above the fashion watches, which are just clothing brands selling licenses to other people to use their name on otherwise humdrum timepieces*.* Speaking broadly of course, and excluding certain marques that take it rather more seriously, with varying degrees of success: Montres Dior, Ralph Lauren, Hermes, Chanel, and recently LV (trying very hard IMHO).

I guess I'll go with my choice then, maybe I'll post a pic once I've made the purchase.Plus, in my opinion, once you fall for a watch, you'll work your way there to get it no matter how long it takes. It does not have to be pricey nor fashionable. All it takes is whether your heart and eyes are happy to see it everyday or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Agree that no decent luxury watch around that cost less than 1k.However, if you want fashionable and casual, you can go for Fossil.pretty resistant to wear-and-tear, and you can customize your own.
