The Watch Thread - Part 5

[SeaDweller4K]

I think for that design and price point, most would consider rolex explorer. Omega isn't a bad\unpopular brand per se, just that this forum is more incline to affordable watch discussion usually as not everyone here have extra cash to splurge except few of them.

And, I would suggest a steel bracelet > leather strap because you could easily get good quality leather strap anywhere at affordable price.

The Explorer is beautiful but I guess i'm so used to the steel bracelet that when you slap on a leather strap somehow it loses its appeal (that's what I feel when I looked at the leather variants off the Net). At 39mm it's a little small for my liking, and the no date feature can be a pain sometimes. Not to mention pricier than the Omega.

I like your rationale on the getting the steel bracelet first then swapping a leather strap later.

Up for more replies. Also, do you guys prefer the silver or gold indicators and hands?

Probably next watch is a GMT? or PP??

looking @ a Submariner Date or the GMT2c. both are classics, can't go wrong with either. but my gf prefers the Sub Date... so i might get that lah. she can wear it too mah. hehe

but prolly won't be that soon lah. must save $$ for wedding and renovation of flat.. planning to pay them off [as much as possible] in cash.

if got spare cash, then think of hooting another watch lor...

Neither. Get the skyfall AT.

I believe I posted the price after typical discount before though it escapes me now. If you are hardworking can look through my post. Should be within this year.

Otherwise your friendly ADs are just a phone call away. Don't be shy.

 

[pwillie]

the one you showed too flashy for me! haha
really? i scare the darker one might look like black. the lighter blue one.. like younger!

I choose this 2 skins for my new straps

pale blue-gray croc belly

and dark blue shark skin

IF IF IF I recall correctly, it cost like 3.8/3.6k after discount...

but really take it as a pinch of salt, I could have mistaken the price with another watch. But definitely around 4k mark or cheaper cause I got aim this piece before and my budget is 4k and below

The blue one is quite faps also wor

edit:

blue one

Hey guys, been trawling through the dozens of pages of this thread and haven't seen much mention of the Omega brand, in particular the Seamaster.

I'm usually dressed in khakis and a shirt, so am looking for something pseudo-dressy yet part-casual as a daily beater (hence the leather bracelets).

What's your take on these two? Or at this price point I am better off looking at other brands/models.

Both Seamaster AT or speedmaster are versatile watches, cant go wrong....
Dark side of the moon looks really good, but i'm not sure if you are willing to shell out the extra moolah for it...
Lots of the new Speedy porn pics shown earlier
