The Watch Thread - Part 10

[Henabi]

Yes our army maybe a screw up sometimes
but everyone is a asset to the country no matter what if war happens.

army clerk, storeman, commando, guards, whitehorse etc.
all must fight to protect the country.

i am a storeman and when the time comes, i will pick up my rifle and use whatever SAF taught me to fight for my country and protect my loved ones because ain't nobody is ***** around with me and my homeland.

i guess you didn't learn much during your 2 or 2.5 years.


"..if not you, then who?.."

not patriotic or whatever but this is called the code of honour.

Ermmm.... imho, you are reading too much into it and developing a theory which is way out of its original context...

Anyway this is watch thread. Not NS thread

Hi guys, need some kind advise.

Dropped by Big Time on Saturday and wanted to purchase the Orient star classic white with blue hands but it does not look good on my wrist.

Am considering buying this http://www.seiyajapan.com/collections/seiko/products/seiko-automatic-presage-sarw019 which is about $900+ SGD.

I have a Steinhart Nav B chrono at the moment and wondering if there are any other better choices than the Seiko Sarw019. Budget is probably around $900

Not familiar with vintage rolexes.

Are these chop carrot prices?

That's why previously I made a comment that it will be really interesting if someone really splash that amount of money.

Because this can become a very interesting discussion and debate.

It's like "Egg before Hen? Or Hen before Egg?"

you can try the SARW @ Seiko outlet @ JEM
Leovanwatches also selling at that price range, but they are local based

PS: i'm not related to them.

the lume of the SARW is nice

Its here the moon watch from Bulova.

Sent from me la using GAGT

From the pics, the watch not suitable for you wor.. as the watch size is big and your wrist is small.

Maybe try 40mm watch and below? Just my thoughts la.

This Seiko is a very nice piece.

Some things to consider:
1) Steinhart uses 3rd party watch movement, while Orient and Seiko uses their own in-house movements

2) The physical appeal of the watches on your wrist

3) other affordable Pilot brands: Laco, Parnis

But from a orient dress watch to a pilot watch

Able to let us know the type of watch you are looking for?

900 budget can also look at Citizen, Avi-8, Tissot Visodate/PRC, Hamilton field,

Agree w GX84.. depends if B&P are offered too.

Most are sold at least 10x their listed prices then

"Chop carrot price" depends on how much you think its worth...
Limited supply.. "unlimited" demand..
Havent met any "in the wild" so far..
