Anyone saw this, the Helgray Silverstone mechaquartz?

Anyone want to back this? Missed the boat on the first $200, so now if can find kaki to back 2 or 3 can save more?

Looks pretty good to me although the feeble WR is a disappointment, was hoping for 100m WR since its a Quartz with mechanical Chrono module.

Actually looks really, really good. First thought reminds me of the Tag Heuer Calibre 17: http://www.tagheuer.com/int-en/tag-heue ... era-models" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

But the hybrid of quartz tech is a little put off for me leh :/

Nope couldn't find a kaki to do it and didn't feel like paying more for one. There is a tag heuer that looks just like it?

Haha im a sucker for panda dials... and maybe im still in my "chronograph phase" haha... And its cheaper den vintage heuers which i dun have the cashflow to hoot. actually i sms-ed the guy, but i a bit wary cos retail 6.5k, he bought in late nov 14, and selling 3.4k now. is that normal? need some advise from the experienced members. my logic is telling me dun buy cos there are much more value for money options out there, but my heart a bit not listening. haha...

i like the reverse panda. the square case and square pushers very nice. i also thinking of your introduction of the DA36 haha... but is it normal for second hand market to sell 50% less within such a short time frame?

seller listed the RRP price of the watch, there is definitely % for it.

to sell at this price, it's normal.

It's just a tactic to lure potential buyer thinking they are getting a good deal
