The Watch Thread - Part 10

[cyrenic]

Bro dun worry too much. Many school of thoughts some say a actual active person would have clock more than the TPD required of most watch anyway.

I will be receiving Tml. Will use a wind down orient star to see how much it wind up from 0 PR to full. If like a bit already wind up fully I be concerned if like exceed abit only then should be safe

I thought exceed for auto is no problem cos it will disengage? Cos ya, active people will destroy watch if that's the case.

never tried HK to buy seiko. probably because i don't speak cantonese. are they friendly i.e. can touch-see-bargain-touch-see-bargain....

that's the older hong kong ... rast time touch liao no buy will kena **** ..

nowadays quite ok, I've been buying quite a lot of toys there for the past few years , most are friendly (as long as you don't speak mandarin) some can bargain but normally I don't as their toy prices are damn good .. but once a while those not really gian one .. i'll try to bargain

I will use half plus six Cantonese to communicate (means act like a man with few words ) , (speak engrish ish ok .. but tough to bargain liao) never buy watch there before as not aiming seiko ... but now check liao , it seems their Seiko prices is good

cheap only if movement is quartz. becomes overpriced when movement chosen is swiss. swiss movement equipped Steinhart is cheaper than them.

With miyota is 420euro. Which is reasonable n similar to other microbrand using miyota as well. But remember...this is customisable, therefore u may b the only one having that combination of parts.

Testing out my new hp camera.

Hmm, is it the angle or u wore the watch alil high from the wrist?

 

[shorty07]

baang。ini brand betul betul shiok。
Boleh main muka，main bezel，main case，main tangan。。。ingin pun Boleh tuka！tapi。。。kalau awak pilih Swiss ingin。。。tak murah lor。。。

Yeah la. Betul. Semua pilih sendiri. Bole jadi one and only piece.

who got experience go Germany buy German watch is confirmed cheaper?

If you can claim back VAT you'll probably save on shipping costs. Logically.

Bro u are right won't cause problem to the watch in general but the clutch slip mechanism which help to tank the over wind may wear out faster than normal.

So short term should be ok. But 2 years on winder dunno have how many factor of wear and tear compare to normal use .

Anyway since I bought I will use but maybe with some safeguard haha

I think it's on the higher end leh.

Usually this price range is diver watch, arguably the case and sealing should cost more I think..

For semi-casual/dress watch with Miyota, usually around 200-300 USD thereabouts.

Hahaha yeah, I think can test and try not to over-wind.

I think some of the higher end watches like Omega also provide recommendations for watch winder use, seen manual before.

It's a bit of a conundrum - even if you don't put on winder, there's going to be some wear and tear if you keep setting the time, especially for screw down crown. Putting on winder arguably can also work the watch unnecessarily.

I remember GX said that winder is probably 100% necessary for watches with no quick set date.. Can imagine man.. Quick set is still ok, you can usually set in less than a minute. If you have to advance the hours just to move the date..

Winders aside, I keep thinking about the Wolf watch box someone posted recently, jin swee sia. And the spacing is quite good. My cheapo Qoo10 one like not so good for larger watches.
