The Watch Thread - Part 10

[TeenTitan01]

Guys.. I found a quite cui condition Seiko 5 watch, left rotting inside my dad wardrobe for at least 1 yr++... the braclets alr cui liao so I took it out changed to NATO.

The thing is.. it can't really move at all even after I shake horizontally left and right.. it will simply tick for 1 min and then stop liao.

Anyway to fix it?

it may need to be de-magnetized, cleaned with ultrasonic cleaner, re-oiled, etc by a competent watch repairer - the cost of which may/will be more than the value of this watch.

My fave blue watch

Grail should be either a blue Arabic TT Daytona or a black AP ROC.

Save first try later hahah new motto

yup! applying the "lun" strategy to save money you'd otherwise spend on substitute/impulse watches.

so..... what's your grail?

once you've a watch that satisfy most, if not all, of your desires, it effectively becomes an antidote to most watch poison (for me i'm super-satisfied with my omega 2254.50 - it's so powerful that it can curb any urge for a rolex sub!)

I can understand why they don't allow. Hve you been to those spree handouts before? Imagine if it's done over the gate. But I doubt they enforce very strictly or can enforce it well.

ya actually i also deal a lot over the gantry...

only last 2 months onwards i noticed they pasted a A4 paper over the gantry warning people not to do so...

k la im sure if you kanna caught, you talk ur way through shud be fine..just say you don't know and you wont repeat the mistake at the same station

but its the reason why they even chut this kinda rule in the first place that irks me...

not to forget the latest SLA015... anyone going Germany can help me hoot...

Never! This and the marmite marine master are the b4stard child of this collection.

20 hrs down the road, this will be another cult classic like the Omega Banana, people just haven't realize it yet.

Hi, any recommendations for buying cheap, even 2nd hand seiko automatic 4r36 watches? Srp 605 and baby tuna srp453? Thanks.

453 has been discontinued liao..however might snap one myself in the near future..really like the blue sunburst this...too bad sumo no sunburst dial..

if same size strap can switch buckle and keeper.

But the keeper is quite big in size, I think it's only suitable for very thick straps... Likely will be too loose for the regular leather straps.
