The Watch Thread - Part 3

[zwen88]

Hi. I also just bought a Tudor Black Bay. Bought in Nov last year. I suggest you enjoy wearing the Black Bay and save to buy another watch later.

hi, how are you enjoying the watch?

i'm thinking of changing to the fabric strap, currently is bracelet. do u happen to know where should i go? rolex main building? and what is the process like?

recently bought my first watch tudor black bay. and kena-ing watch poison, everyday look at watch forums. feel like getting a second watch. but not something that cost in the thousands. seiko monster looks quite nice especially the steel ruggedness dial kind, add a bit of wear and scratches will looks quite swee.

but if you own a 4k+ watch, would you step down and buy something that is a few hundred buck? usually if u own a $4k watch, your next watch in the next few years probably be maybe an $8k watch?

yup, i would haha, owned a ball, rollie. but my latest acquirion is a casio... g shock

haha

Mine is leather. The bracelet version was not available. Bought mine in The Hour Glass. If you bought it locally, you can ask the AD to help you change to fabric strap.

Why not? I own a JLC and Zenith but my next watch was a nomos and a cheapo christopherward.

Why not? Different watch for different occasion. Sport, I wear Citizen. Causal, I wear Breitling. Office, I wear Rolex.
