The Watch Thread - Part 10

[wristceptor]

Hi guys, Anyone heard of vostok europe? Interested in Vostok Europe almaz . Or anyone have a watch under 800 to recommend?

local retailers i think yuen loong watch and red army watches might carry some...you can check them out first

 

[cichlid]

They are around 46mm I think? Not that small though. Just slightly smaller than a baby tuna

It's even smaller than the SBBN015, lol.
Think I'm just biased cos it's not a mechanical.

[reikizi]

（福）哎喲。。。差一點就漏掉阿兄你問的。。。
阿兄嘛是啦。。。西北毒咧。。。我已經左手正手為難了，你擱來一帖。。。叫我按怎選？？？？？ 無錢了啦！！！！！

（華）Ok。。。正面進入提問。。。

先談芯
瑞士對日本，Miyota對Ronda，你會怎麼看，該怎麼看。。。
在Ronda沒有出現之前，整個錶界如果要找平價石英全日曆錶款，唯有向日本機芯錶廠產品去看。
第一個推出全日曆複雜機芯款的是誰，這我還要去研究。不過我印象中似乎是IWC-萬國吧。。。。。。還是我錯亂了？

。。。但是比較負擔得起，又受平價手錶製造商青睞的，該算Miyota的6P00機芯吧。。。


一路發展直到今天，除了FC之外，Miyota一直都在進步中。直到幾年前推出6U00機芯。
一款不止含有基本全日曆顯示，還有月相，還有閏年，計時錶功能的複雜機芯。因為太複雜了，難修，又貴，所以起初採用此心的只有Shellman，還有星辰而已。
所以如果與Ronda對比的話，6U70可算是“老芯”囖。今時今日如果要找6U70機芯款的手錶，唯有向星辰旗下品牌Campanola看了。。。

撇開“技術成熟度”來看6U70對706.B各有長處也有短處。
Miyota勝在還有閏年顯示，鬧鐘功能，還有計時功能。但是一粒新電池只能耐上2年那麼久。
Ronda 706.B勝在換一粒電池，可以頂上3年半，多出一個半年那麼久而已。沒有閏年顯示，沒有月份顯示，但是只有“期數”顯示。。。似乎不是很吸引人咧。。。但是Ronda的出現，也就變成歐洲石英錶界的救星。相信接下來的日子，我們還是會陸續看見歐洲大小品牌採用Ronda 706.X-全日曆機芯的錶款推出啦。


二談價
Miyota 6U70最“風光”的日子就落在剛剛推出的那個時期。因為只有Shellman還有Campanola採用，價格方面也就從4位數開始囖。。。但是時至今日，像這樣的錶，碰上智能錶還有傳統機械錶的話，Miyota不得不將手頭上的機芯賣給其他手錶產商，再減產，有效的使用過產機芯在自家品牌上。。。Accurist就變成日本市場以外，唯一採用此芯的錶商了。

要是能夠以500的價格買到連Campanola都有採用的機芯，可算是偷笑了。但是打了折扣，能以少過400買進。。。再與瑞士產的“新芯”爭，對於其他人來說實在難選。但是對我來講，越複雜，越有趣！我會將6U70擺在第一位。Ronda嘛，錯過了這一船，還有下一舟，以後還能買啦。。。。。。

再談樣


多數Ronda 706.B機芯錶款的設計都有不同的鈕來調節不同日曆顯示，由於調節時間有限制，加上如果採用突出按鈕設計的話，會有些“畫蛇添足”的負面觀感。。。因此多數都會採用“隱藏鈕”設計，
不過像Zepplin那樣，多出的那顆鈕，雖然說是方便用來調日期。。。但是還是有些顯得“唐突”。

6U70在調節日曆方面就不受限制了。由於與計時功能的按鈕相連，Accurist的按鈕也就比較明顯。要維持流線設計，正面來看，錶殼厚度就會顯得有左薄，右厚不太平均的現象。

後談名
多少人對於Zepplin的認識，就始在幾年前的德國錶熱潮。但是對於玩蘇聯錶的玩家，Zepplin還有Junkers一點都不陌生。。。因為這兩廠採用俄制機芯錶款已有十數年之久。。。品牌售後名聲也就從當時開始建立。加上本地RedArmy曾經是Zepplin的代理，打的廣告雖然不大，但也就成功的叫不少消費者感覺陌生囖。。。
Accurist對於許多本地消費者來說是個非常陌生的品牌。當然許多人一定會存有售後服務的質疑。對我來講，機芯勝過品牌。但是有品牌的兩年保修。。。何不嚐味咧？

hahaha ..thanks 阿兄 .. for the detail analysis.. .. yeah man .. jin 毒 .. now still come Seiko tuna solar....like you .. I ..無錢了啦！！！！！

that doxa le looks great...except that i have an orange sumo, and never felt completely at ease with the colour. could be psychological...as i do have a rescue orange g shock twin sensor that i like.
