Are you Ricky Hoo? How's business doing? Rentals getting too high to sustain?
How come you have no other comments other than directing readers to a very specific watch shop in a very expensive district in Singapore leh?

Very interesting indeed..

I am not. I frequent Time Zone Watch for my watch matters because it is near my workplace. I am only sharing my information as an alternative for our fellow forumers.

I am sure K2 Watch Company which several forumers here recommend offer good services too to customers who are convenient to that area.

Dial is really faps man. My only (tiny) quip is that the lug width is an awkward 21mm. Kinda limits the strap choices unless go one size smaller at 20mm.

Go 22mm strap if you have a 21mm lug. Squeeze the leather strap, else you might leave a gap with a 20mm strap.

Just to share my experience,
My orient star is the most accurate watch of my collection beating even my Rolex Gmt. Almost like +0.2 or less . Hope u get a super accurate one too!

mine is the plain s/steel, white dial, black leather band Orient Star Classic EL05004W.

 

[cyrenic]

Orient Star!

Spent the whole day self-poisoning with Seiko SRP313K1.

Hi guys, finally found a sbdc003 brand new at a watch shop in Singapore. Price is $950 after discount. Isit a chop carrot price? Haven't seen any other shop selling it. Pls advise thanks !

 

[TeenTitan01]

Nowadays no more "trends" created on the thread. Few reasons:

1. Biggest social influenza Yatto missing
2. Watch hoots nowadays all fairly dai kor level, difficult to set ablaze trend at those prices
3. The thread is just..... different!

Last sensation was Seannie and his BB (congrats to him again for buying).

Maybe sense a Steinhart wave in the works?

what?!! pimping my omega 2254.50 like siao here still no "trend" ah?!! wah lau eh!!! sibeh, SIBEH disappointed manz.

 

[TeenTitan01]

Unfortunately, most of the watches posted here are not going to be good investments.

But it's ok la, I doubt many people here are looking to earn from their buys.

aim to break even (ie. can sell it for what you paid for) = wearing the watch rent free.

if yours is a brand that engineers regular price increases (rolex is the main culprit here) or pushing its brand upstream through "new technology" like omega's co-axial, maybe even stand a chance to have a small profit.

 

[TeenTitan01]

bold La haha not bold how to be Satki. OK maybe let me put it this way. Different collectors different style.
High end collectors collect vintage patek too. Look at JC Biver
Not just rolex. Any vintage, sought after and hard to find models are the one to splurge for.
They don't just buy modern pieces.

But to me. Vintage > modern pieces.
First it cannot be easily available to people.
More special. Haha
Not that I don't buy modern pieces. I believe vintage pieces are more fun.


My 2cents don't worth much.

bro I totally get where you're coming from, cos you've ascended horology's evolutionary ladder. those who haven't yet won't get what you're trying to share. cos once you reach a certain level of "the chase", readily available stuff is like less kick liao.

scarcity drives desirability!
