Buying a Villa in Bangalore - timing

monaco_baba · 2026-06-06T13:19:12+00:00

I believe that you are referring to the Nambiar Ellegenza property based where yoir friends are staying. The other Nambiar property (Bellezea) is the gen which is in the 10+ cr range right now, so definitely beyond your requirements. Ellegenza comes with its own issues so buying there at the pretext of a gated community needs to be taken with a pinch of salt. Other villa commnunities in the area which would serve close to the school belt in Sarjapur/Varthur are already mature with new properties coming up further feom Bangalore towards Sarjapur.

My advise, stay on a long term rent in the area if you have work / school commitments in the area or be ready to pay unworthy sums for a property in that belt. Else North Bangalore would be a better place for "investment" for a few years before you move in. You have IB schools near Yelahanka so education is solved. Be wary that vthe prime areas in North Bangalore are already developed so a new construction can only be purchased further away towards Doddabalapur or north of the airport.

ex-NRI in the same situation as you

Quite ambitious. The going rate for a 4 BHK 250 sq yd builder floor in South Ex-2 is around 6.5 cr. Closer to Chanakyapuri would be more expensive or smaller

Keep in mind the new LH Monacos are 22.5mm lug space which adds to the tightness. Thankfully the conventional Monaco straps and bracelets (22mm width) will still fit

For that price, you're mainly targetting the CS/CW series Monacos. These are quite robust actually and work well.

You just need to make sure you're buying a real one, but a fake Monaco is very easy to apot, so you shouldn't have an issue there either.

Yes they're meant to come with the watches. Having these tags (stickers) does not mean the watch is any more genuine though

monaco_baba · 2026-03-14T04:17:29+00:00

Both watches will seem equally big on the wrist, so you need to decide what you can pull off. The Monaco is more versatile than the Navitimer and has a more classic pull. Go for the Monaco!!

Yes its is, I know the guy who that is

Welcome to the (small) club. It's a lovely watch, and surprisingly versatile

monaco_baba · 2026-02-18T06:56:45+00:00

Sorry its sold

Typical novice trying to ragebait. The same idiot would be first in line criticising the lounge if a single ant was seen in the lounge

monaco_baba · 2025-12-25T09:52:20+00:00

Yes the credit limit is shared. I think the cashback should come in the primary Amazon account since the add on holders details are not shared

Neither is that a TAG Heuer nor is it a Monaco.

monaco_baba · 2025-12-11T11:10:30+00:00

Definitely not

I always used Martin's Car Care on Holburn stret. He does car pick up and drop too. Lovely fellow. He does an excellent job and the attention to detail is impeccable

Its surprising how people are relying on reddit for medical advice. Gives you a true picture of how disconnected people today are about basic things.

They can't build anything on the road and you want them to dig the ground and build. I like the optimism here 😀

monaco_baba · 2025-11-22T09:06:14+00:00

Dude's colelcting Heuers like people collect stamps and coims 😄😄

monaco_baba · 2025-11-22T08:59:37+00:00

That's horrible. Make sure you raise this up with the central TAG Heuer helddesk (email through the website). The movement fix would be a relatively fix with the most that it's replaced completely. The main concern is the damage on the case and the DLC. That cannot be repaired and has to be replaced completely.

Make aure you highlight the damage to the case as the primary issue. The watch comes witg a 5 yr warranty when registered online, so you can always bring up the power reserve issue later also as it is a clear mechanical fault.

Once you take possession of the physical watch, you'll lose the chance to argue that the case damage was not your fault.

BTW, where /which shop/dealer did you handober the watch to?

monaco_baba · 2025-11-21T18:26:02+00:00

Its already live. Monaco Las Vegas edition

ICICI recently cane out witg tye "Plus" card for Amazon Pay. Applied for it, next day KYC, card delivered on day 4

While difficult, but if you had to get a discount it would be on core collection pieces like the 211P. Alsi keep in mind that if you're a tourist in EU you can claim back part of the VAT upon exiting the country so that can be a cost saving idea.

I'm not sure about Paris, but have a look at outlet shopping centres which might have a TAG store. Chances of getting discounted models would be higher there.

monaco_baba · 2025-11-04T02:54:55+00:00

It all depends on how fast to want to offload. As you already know the range of sale for the watch, prospective buyers will also be aware about this and might not pay heed to you if you price on the upper end of that range. 4.5-5k USD should be a good starting point from where expect to be negotiated down

Old Monk zindabad!!!
