Going on Vacation!


DuDro

Recommended Posts

Good evening!

I will be in Singapore this weekend. Can a local recommend a good spot for strap shopping? Or perhaps a good place for gen shopping?

I'll also be going to Siem Reap and Hanoi. Has anyone had any luck with rep-shopping in those places?

Any advice would be appreciated...Thanks!

There's a big AD just below/behind the Marriotts Hotel on Orchard Rd. Good collection of PAMs when I was there last year! I believe there's plenty of other ADs along orchard! Check the nite zoo and Sentosa Island if you have the time!

Enjoy your trip!

Sounds like you are in for a great adventure DuDro. I am envious. Have a fantastic vacation, and tell the VietCong to pony up the super reps!

Make sure don't use the word "VietCong" otherwise you will be in trouble. You must take a trip to Halong bay for very beautiful scenaries.

Hi,

Singapore has many ADs selling watches. The one mentioned by Hiker USA is I believe "Hour Glass". To be honest, I myself never really see a lot of Pams (at least the popular models). Mostly, the more espensive ones!

Besides ADs, there are many shops trading in pre-owned watches or new watches. Check out Visiotime, Passions. You can google these and find the websites.

Besides that, there is a shop in Sunshine Plaza called "Time will tell" that specialises in Pams! Sunshine Plaza is in Bencoolen Road.

I do know of a shop in VIP Hotel in Balmoral Road called Collector's Haven. they have some straps that appear to be OEM Pam straps with the packaging but I think cheaper.

Enjoy your trip!

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. :p

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.

Nice one Flex i"m looking at going to Saigon in December. What prices are the 1655, 1680 cases and dials these days...?

Cheers
