Gnomon at Millenia Walk sells this. I haven't tried it myself though.

cape cod cloth will ruin any BRUSHED/SATIN surfaces. only works for POLISHED surfaces.

same size and nearby age .. that's why we got "round" no "sai"...

I'm no pretty boy so not feminine too.

Not lai ang lah... It was the virgin wear... hence... red...

u gt call gnomon to check if they can service for u and e cost involved?

iirc someone here ever bought from steinhart but service via gnomon...net cost was cheaper as compared to mailing it to steinhart..

reminds me of the song lyrics

Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you

My big watch (45.4mm) on my small 6.5inch wrist

Doesn't look big on you!

Photo looks great! Than again, you are cichlid... the one who makes all watches look great!

 

[slow_mo]

who's touching your thigh?!

Focus!!! Focus on the watch, not the thigh and certainly not the ... area!

 

[slow_mo]

Fwah nice. Where to find this piece ah? Can share lobang

Carousell... there are quite a few sellers.

How to describe?
But I think if you thought that the MM300 is big and thick, the Oris will be much more manageable. The round indices, beautiful blue dial and nice high sapphire dome make it very desirable.

I compared the Oris with the Black Bay in the shop, hard to pick a winner but when you compare the price, the Oris is the winner at 50% cheaper.

but oris tanks at 2nd hand market. just saying. gorgeous blue dial though. got the tudor blue sub vibes...

 

[TeenTitan01]

Small wrist here too. 6.5". Limited choices.

but you rock your SDGZ013 Seiko automatic chrono which is rather hefty in terms of case diameter and watch thickness.

maybe SO DAMN UGLY until it's collectible (as per paul newman Daytona phenomenon)?!

Maybe but I doubt so lol

My new GMT is losing about 10-12 seconds per day. Should I be worried?

Steinhart users, what are your watch accuracy like? I realise recently that I lose about 10-12s/day.

Also, does anyone know if there are people who can regulate watches here locally? At what cost?

gnomonwatches had a separate shop unit when it was at shaw towers, beach road where it services watches. can try asking if they can help regulate it for you - just a matter of opening the case back and adjusting the timing screw.

I had my omega 2254.50 recently adjusted as it seems to be losing like 5 sec/day even though it show 0 s/day when placed dial side down on the time-o-grapher when it was first adjusted on purchase.

sometimes, you need your watch to "settle in" after a couple months of continuous usage - and then ask your watch technician to adjust it TO SUIT YOUR WEARING PATTERN. 0 sec/day dial side down on the repair table definitely did not translate to 0 sec/day in my wear pattern.

ps. don't forget to get the watch technician to remove any soft iron anti-magnetic shield and demagnetize your watch as a precaution as well.
