The Watch Thread - Part 10

[cyrenic]

No one post 全家福 of their watches here? Abit shy to post sia seeing all the exp collections

My watches add together less than one watch here.

 

[cyrenic]

wanna bet if you wear a nomos orion, people will think its a DW. haha

Then it's ok, they don't know anything and should be forgiven.

 

[cyrenic]

that is already discounted price

wa but i a bit sad, i saw skywatches list price as $3xx...i damn excited i tot a watch of this beauty and quality is so cheap?

but i found out the real price and a bit sad le...gotta delay the purchase ba, need jaga my finances too

I think Malaysia can get at $3XX. Higher number 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,

Bro Henabi,

Thanks on listing the consideration point above. I already have a pilot hence won't be looking for pilot for now and I have a quartz Omega Seamaster which was bought as a gift more than 10 years ago which currently has lesser wrist time as compared to the Steinhart.

Is the movement on this Seiko comparable with the ETA Swiss movements like those on Steinhart Ocean 1 Titanium 500?

I think I'm more into LUME on the watches and the sweeping second hands which is kinda missing from my current Nav B Chrono (too small)

Thanks to the poison in this thread, I gave in and got the Maxi off a kind soul from Carousell:

Welcome to the Steinhart Ocean one family ^.^

Very matching leather strap

The few watches that I have, minus the OS300 which hopefully have reached Japan for servicing.

your snzh using oem hand set? if yes kinda cute. the hand set more expensive than the whole damn watch.

you sold your typhoon? sell the 2 fake tuna and get a real one.

I think -usually- pilots and divers will have better lume. More dress style watches like Star Classic frown upon lume.

I have seen 4 listed on Jackroad. If you have a chance to go Japan maybe can check them out haha

Thanks snowver... i heard many wonderful things about watch shopping in Japan
but currently japan is outta my travel list as I am planning for a baby.

Won't want the radiation to affect my own birth chances

Seiya and Chino are reputable online dealers... Check and see which one is cheaper...

So far Chino has the cheapest price among Higuchi and Seiya at USD$631. Does anyone know if this it will hit GST if its shipped via EMS?

If not, taking factor into the credit card exchange rates, will probably be close to less than $900 probably.

Both bezels cannot rotate one, lol

Really?!?! Thanks for correcting me

Is that a real thing, the radiation? I've heard stories but not sure how true they are.

Thanks for the link, read it up and it does not seems to describe much about 6R21 movement nor a search on the google provides much information as well.

My current steinhart is keeping the time quite well so far and has not made any adjustment for the past 3 months.
