ani_meher 42 Report post Posted July 16, 2010 For past few days, I am very much impressed by mechanical skeleton watches. The original ones in Titan costs some 10k-15k! But we can get some chinease made from ebay for about 700-1000rs, which definitely look good. Have a loot at the attached images,and see for yourself. If you have/had a skeleton watch, how was your experience? Did it require too much maintenance? If I order a watch from ebay, would I have to pay any duty. What would the duty be if at all it is caught? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

krishin.rajani 3 Report post Posted July 16, 2010 i feel you need not worry abt the duties, etc if you are ordering from eBay, it's the seller's baby. End customer don't have to worry abt duty, octroi, delivery, etc.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ani_meher 42 Report post Posted July 16, 2010 Guys didn't I tell you these are things are beauty?! I am most probably buying the first one soon. Will post the links to ebay soon, as my home net is damn slow (Yeah, planning to upgrade to EVDO from this stinking 1x tata connection!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ani_meher 42 Report post Posted October 6, 2010 Sorry I forgot to update this thread. I bought 4th watch in August. The cost was some 1000rs shipped to Mumbai. It never fails to attract attention! Only gripe is I have to wind it daily. Really a very impressive watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
commonman 228 Report post Posted October 6, 2010 I got a normal mechanical watch. HMT Pilot, bought in 1984. Still working perfectly and with precision. Needs winding up daily and oiling once every two years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
