The Watch Thread - Part 10

[gaoxing84]

Story:

…it was a cold Sunday. It had been a full month I had sold my first Rolex, the Submariner 114060. My watch box had an empty void. I had been staring at the blank every day. Something was missing from my humble collection. I miss my old friend

The Rolex has an allure I cannot explain in words. One must wear the watch and appreciate it over time. The intimacy we had, was a relationship thicker than brotherhood.

It is more than a watch. It could be a luxury watch. A piece of jewellery. A fashion statement. An identification of success. When you’re desperate – this could be a collateral at Cash Converters. In summary, it is a fine timepiece.

For a man that needs to tell the time, give him a Timex. He has no love or appreciation of the Rolex. You don’t wear a Rolex just to tell the time… (insert reason here)

It was then I was introduced to the Sea-Dweller 4000, and the rest they say is history…

I am fortunate to have other watches. Watches who could give Rolex a run for their money in terms of history and movement. But a Rolex is a Rolex. “It doesn't just tell time. It tells history.”

History? time for you to change that SD4000 to this. History tells the watch.

what's the difference between this and butterfly clasp???

For deployant clasp, there's double-fold and single-fold clasp?! Any other type?!

simply said.
not

there's the AP style, it's integrated with the bracelet
there's the standard style of leather deployant, same without pushers (can be one side long, one side short or both same length)

then there's one with the 2 pushers to release the deployant.

the other one is just single side deployant

第一个是全电子瑞士RONDA机芯。
第二个是半机械精工机芯。
各有各的优，也有不好之处。

论价格，的确，第一个实在高过第二个。其实价格就反映在机芯价格层面上。

但是以设计来看的话，第一个表盘设计似乎没有那么简单，配上那青铜錶壳，很有70年末~80年初时代感。
第二个比较摩登简约，如果字体，时标再细一些，就快达到JUNGHANS设计感了。

实在很难抉择。不过要是给我选的话，我会选择第一个。并不是在于瑞士机芯的基础上。而是錶盘设计，錶壳设计，时-分-秒针的配搭太有复古感了！

Oi, this uncle cannot understand. But I really like BlackBerry. My Passport and Classic seating in drawer as paperweight.
