Tomorrow I will be flying back home. Have travelled from HK > Singapore > Hanoi > Saigon > Hanoi > Singapore > Hong Kong for the past 3 weeks...
... still in Singapore as we speak. Will try to post some interesting pics. Mainly taken in Vietnam. will post full shop name & address ( i have taken notes in my smartphone as I travel. I will post detailed info when I post the pics.)
Singapore
Mainly window shopping for me. I found some interesting 1675, subbies etc...
1. People's Park Complex China town 2/F (vintage gen)
2. Golden Landmark Shopping Center (vintage gen, rolex parts, dials)
be careful of franken/ hot watches in the above places (demanding for gen prices)
Vietnam
Saigon (Opposite Sheraton Saigon)
Minh Quy (cheaper than NDtrading)
Bich Lien
Omega S300 @ $350
Franken Tudor Monte Carlo e.g. 7159/0, 9420/0
Franken Daytona 6263 @$2,500
Franken Explorer 1655 @$3,500
Blancpain Fifty Fathoms (both bigger/ smaller bezel version) @ $350
as for myself, I bought some cases and dials/hands etc (e.g. 1655, 1680) from Minh Quy...I picked up a 6265 SS bezel from Mihn Quy for $30 when Phong was selling this very same item for $450... when you are in Vietnam, forget abt Phong or NDtrading and their pricing.. their factories are all based in Viet.
I'll be doing some serious shopping next biz trip.
safe travels & enjoy.
PS: when you are in Hanoi,be careful with some motorbikes - the locals tell me that some bikers will grap your bags or wallets from behind. Use Airport Taxi. I will be able to give you some safe taxi company numbers once i get home. forget abt reps in Hanoi unless you are into Chinese reps.
