The Watch Thread - Part 10

[TeenTitan01]

no issue, thanks for the advise just that I disagree ... yeah money hard too earn ... but with proper manage and not too many "want" .. should be ok ... contented with HDB and bread and butter car .. so I still manageable ... bigger headache is Toy ... getting old liao and no time to built (Zoids at least 50 boxes lying around) ... need to stop buying toy and start selling

can consider liquidating your toy collection to fund your watch collection - unless you're still keen on your zoids....

Hi seniors out there,

I have owned a SEIKO SKX007 for about 6 months now. I realised the watch seems to be going slower - meaning, about every 10 days, I will need to re-adjust the time manually (by about 5mins). Is this common may I ask? Thanks in adv.

that's within the 7s26 specs.

Thinking of getting entry level swiss watch.. is BALL worth it? or stick to seiko MM series?

forget about ball. low value retention.


you can get a swiss movement watch for less than S$1k or thereabouts if you're not hung up about the brand (eg look at steinhart, squale, etc).


otherwise be disciplined, save $10 a day for 3 years and your rolex sub date is yours. (rolex has better value retention).

Any other Orient Star fans here?

Anyone knows how much a new Speedmaster Pro would cost here in SG for a grey market piece?
Wonder if i'll save a lot getting from something like Jomashop

imho, for the money you're prepared to spend on a speedy, why not consider the omega SEAmaster professional chronometer 2254.50.

you get:
- superior water resistance (300m vs 50m).
- AUTOmatic movement vs manual winding.
- superb lume if you like lume like me.
- chronometer grade vs non-COSC.
- a better SEAmaster clasp vs SPEEDmaster clasp.
- the satisfaction that you've a rarer piece on your wrist.

but that's just me. if you're still keen on a speedy, I'm happy for you. cheers.

Hey Ed, just a curious question from me with no offence intended. For your vast collection through the years, many of which appear to suggest that you favour Rolex homages, never occurred to you to get one of the actual watches?

SandoZ we see in singapore could be either Sandoz hk or Sandoz singapore

Mustafa confirm Singapore version. Bencoolen also same.

问的好！我完全不觉得有什么冒犯之处，接受你的提问。不过，请你给我到十二点之前给你回复，现在正用手机，不比家里键盘来得方便。
但是我的回复会对各位錶友有冒犯之处，在此预先道歉先！

噢。。。顺便一提，保守估计，把石英錶款加下去我目前拥有大概50只錶。形似老叻＂十仔＂潜水錶的共有十只，加上一只半金山度士DJ款，就是11。11對50，概算不是很偏老叻吧～?

Vintage Skeleton I fell out of love with, decided I prefer the look of a well done dial

Retrograde's rose gold plating started peeling off, wear already got flakes on my wrist wan, I shared some pics earlier in the thread. Threw it in as a bonus for the skeleton buyer

Oh dear, so jia lat ah.

I'll remember never to touch rose gold version then.
