I fancy a different kind of Panerai

[Ruud Van Driver]

When Mrs Van D is away, a naughty Ruud will play. I would love one of these on my desk, I mean who wouldn’t? An absolute complete, utter waste of money but, and it’s a huge but with a capital B, they’ve just had a price adjustment. Yep, against the current trend of increases, these babies have dropped by about 40% and they’re down to S$4,300 (£2,350 US$3,170).

Alas, Mrs Van D has put the blockers on a purchase. If she comes out to Singapore in four weeks and finds one of these in the house then she’ll pull down my Alan’s and grab my Jacob’s and drag them over my head!

The California dial is my favourite (651, I think). So, worth the risk?

[Cru Jones]

They say it's sometimes easier to ask forgiveness than to ask. So, 651 is the one to get, IMHO, plus it's cheaper than a 372.....

Maybe have it sitting on the table with the RG submersible next to it waiting for Mrs. Ruud?

[Andad]

Grow some jacobs.

Man or mouse?

I like them ALL.

I might get away with $4,300 if I go into hiding for a few weeks but $38k for the 684? No. Just, no. I’d be Ruud Van Dead. No discussion, no negotiation, no appeal.

Good news! I just saved you almost $12k.

I've always wanted one of those pocket watches as well, go for it!

Meh, I'm with the missus on this one. Save the money and buy yourself another wristy

[1William]

I like all three and if the funds were available I would buy one. I understand with the wife but there are some things that are going to happen and this might be one.

[Ravager135]

Such a waste of money, but they are so cool looking. I'd go with the California dial as well.

Nice try my friend but as Will says, you’re looking at US$ and we’re in Singapore $

Then I’d have to get a new watch box and fill it. No, I have two full boxes and I’m happy with my lot

You’re right, Will.I.Am. Some things just have to happen, this is one of them and I’m going to tell her straight!*

Buy a cheap SCOOT ticket to HKG. These table clocks are sold there at approximately or not more than SGD3,100.00 depending on the prevailing exchange rates. If based on today's rates from the Arcade money changers, it is SGD100.00 = HKD579.00

Listed price HKD22,000.00 less 20% = HKD17,600.00/5.79 = SGD3,035.00 only

Thanks for the heads-up, that's a good negotiating tool if I decide to pull the trigger

[Andad]

I would like one of these....

[Andad]

To match my 231.

Just walked in Panerai in KL and they have no stock at the moment but can offer 10800 RM - 3400 Sing without any nagotiations.

If pressed they can probably do 3100 Sing as in HK. Then you could claim extra 5 % tax at the aiport.

You may use it while speaking to Panerai on Orchard.

I didn't know you could claim tax between SG/MY?

Yes but only if you fly.

That my Jacob's and me would no longer remain united as one. So not much really

You meant The Hour Glass in KL or an AD, right? There are no Panerai boutique in Malaysia.

saw one in sydney, they wanted to work me a nice deal but it's really impractical for me so i passed

[KBM]

Man, I just love those. Hard to justify the price (when that would buy a very cool wrist watch), but I just love them. I might make a silly move yet.

[Ruud Van Driver]

Hey, I might have started something here

I think they are gorgeous. I saw one in Selfridges London a few weeks ago. Just a lovely object. My favourite however is the Panerai wrist watch. I would love to have one of those in my pocket on a chain.
