My Steinhart locks at this position, is it possible to get Rolex to fix this issue?

The crown position for steinhart is not upright...until the release of OT500 whereby they finally fix this minor area.

Rolex.... not sure

 

[reikizi]

IIRC, Alba is under Seiko.

So, it is a good brand for me.

yes.. when I was young Alba Spoon was the vogue ..

now .. really like the Alba AKA bullhead ... been thinking of it .. veri nice watch

not my pic ... its from watchuseek

Is Alba a good brand for below 200 buck watches?

Orient at that price is better imho.

 

[indigo22]

never gpgt? your eyes must be damn sharp to tell that it's not the quartz version 2264! you should go up and talk watch with him mah!

thanks to you la~ i've been reading up on the 2254 quite a lot.. its those want-to-buy-but-wont-buy watch....focussing firmly on saving up for a rolex now

waiting for the new explorer I with the lumed 3-6-9 numerals unveiled in baselworld 2016...

will you be changing to the new explorer I when it arrives?

Nope don't think will be changing lol. Just got this explorer this march only . My favourite watch so far. Stealing all the wrist time from explorer 2

...
- good luck to them planning to charge usd4,400-4,600! there're already many high quality offerings below that price range with established history like aquadive, with many desirable classic collectors' watches in the pre-owned market that can be had with less than that!...

如果估计没错的话。。。用的该是。。。

I see Alba as the more fashionable & Hip side of Seiko. built wise, for daily beater, definitely ok.

If you like a particular design, HFTL

+1. S$168 for this.

Yeah, I guess the designs are more hip than Orient. Orient is classic though.

Plus I guess for me it's also because it's less well-known.

Oh wow, that's cheap. Did they drop the price? I somehow recall it was around $180.

creation watches need to see the currency.

last check at bencoolen, all Orient prices went up at least 30% across the board, especially for bambino

 

[snip82]

I really like this!

Which model?

Yep, I know the Orient range quite well.

That one's the Orient Disk.
