Boy, dun be shy! Share your hotdog now

趁着现在外头下大雨，放工了还不能离开办公室。。。 来回复你的问题

Which one is the best movement in your collection?

只要在保养保修上不会添加经济压力，任何“汗马”级，历久不衰的机芯都是好机芯！28xx, 775x, 7S3x, 7S2x, 4R3x都好！价格便宜，容易保养，用在某些錶款上，不必花太多就能拥有。

Which model is the best value in your collection?

以复杂功能来看。。。

。。。可说当时是捡到宝。连运费算到来我只付大概600。既有7750汗马级机芯，又能入水200米。
再来就是。。。

。。。一錶三玩。套上不同外框，配上相衬的皮带，就有不同感觉。虽然当时买的时候连运费，消费税，计算起来大概1333。。。一只錶给我三种玩法，简直只有一个字能形容，“抵”！

Which model is real iconic design by the brand in your collection? Even vintage?

我没有什么旧錶款。但是以品牌来看。。。
STEINHART- APOLLON 计时表。

一錶三玩不提。单单从外表上来看，这只錶的外形是在其他品牌找不到的。微小的錶盘，加上厚厚，摩砂表面，灰色的錶壳，就给人一种不容易打压的“硬汉”印象。

And last which brand is your favorite brand and u own?

自中学时代，梅花就一直给我亲民的正面印象。撇开价格不谈，梅花錶与当时主流品牌的产品比较大的分别在于采用中英双语礼拜显示，加上东方味比较浓的红花作为品牌标志。虽然当时其他品牌也有中英双语礼拜显示，但是应用时间不长。。。标志方面也不够东方。梅花一直都在我的喜好之中。
SANDOZ，给与我的印象是在于能够以可负担得起的价格，“供解”我一时对于“玩款”之渴。加上本地山度士在本地组装，基本上可算是国货吧？是否该支持，就看个人咯。。。
STEINHART，给与我的印象比较正面的通常都是在其产品的工质上。设计方面虽然一直受到其他品牌支持者抨击，但是只要细看，并不会完全没有该品牌与其他品牌的不同之处。最重要的，以那样的造工，“瑞士制造”，加上可负担的价格，何乐不为咧？

Panerai looks like quite ex, lol...



What is this model?



Ok ok, thank you very much, will look through this series.

Most important is to buy a watch within your means.

Not everyone is willing to splash 10k-15k on a watch....especially after saving so long...

 

[Henabi]

Hi Bro, sorry to disturb you again, will like to check with you, tough solar and solar powered movement are the same? Because I surfing the skywatches website, found the gulfmaster series, comparing CASIO G-SHOCK MASTER OF G WATCH GWN-1000GB-1A and CASIO G-SHOCK GULFMASTER WATCH GWN-1000B-1B GWN1000B, basically they have almost same everything, except the color, and then when i move further down, at the additional information there, found out that the movement is different, 1 is solar powered, and another is tough solar.

Its different technology. Tough solar is similar to Citizen ECO DRIVE, whereby the technology is able to convert any light source into stored energy

 

[knightcover]

EdYeo, can i hazard a guess to say you have at least 70 watches?

[Ed.YEO]

明年可能会有这个数字吧。。。目前还没有特地去算。唯一可以肯定的是Steinhart与梅花是打平手的。

Totally understand what you thinking. But that is not match your signature... Haha

 

[talonn]

Does anyone know any good leather artisan who can turn a single-pass leather strap into normal 2-piece strap in Singapore?

 

[Ed.YEO]

Totally understand what you thinking. But that is not match your signature... Haha

怎么与我的信念不吻合咧？
一芯－ Steinhart采用的都是汗马级机芯呀，最长的2824也有～～～四十年历史了吧？
二价－ 价格方面应该比起一般主流品牌如天梭，汉密尔顿，在同样配置上该有竞争力吧？
三样－除了飞行员系列，海洋系列之外，Steinhart的宇航系列，Triton系列，Apollon系列錶款该算有自己特色。对嘛？
四名－前面三项足以强化我的购买意念了，品牌的保修配套也就自然给我更明确的方向了。。。不必考虑了吧？

I can't even bring myself to splash on Nomos, even though I really like it.

TGIF. My scallop. Love the strap.

Very nice.

My friend bought the blue one. Keep poisoning me. But I think it will be too big on me.

movement - have u really think 2824 is the best movement? it is just because of 2824 cheap but not a great, if yes why eta improve to 2892? Yes, steinhart have 7750, since u said u more focus the movement, 7750 a great movement we all know but have u really think steinhart done a great job for the movement? to me they just done the great movement polishing, not really improve the movement. tell me how accurate your steinhart 7750, IWC 7750 can make it 1s per day or less. (we talk about movement not a brand and price)

price - maybe, let try compare to the tissot visodate 2836 and the le locle 2824 cosc, same price same spec and I believe tissot more easier to get factory service compare to steinhart. agree?

design - again steinhart... seem like u very like the steinhart, haha... ok the most hot selling model is pilot, diver, marine... this all not their own design, even the apollon and triton also not a totally own design. but yes they have some special model like ST10, or russian forum model, and this custom design have to wait few year to complete. special right?

brand - brand = spend! agree?

i remember got someone bro ask u to save money to get a real watch, i believe he is not asking u must buy rolex or. like u very like to collect watch and mention movement priority, why not just get some vintage movement like valjoux 72 or manual winding with center second? even some vintage longines, omega, rolex even zenith movement also very nice and easy to service. just save 2-3 steinhart already can get one.

ps: money is your one, u spend u happy. I just geipo nia

ETA 2892 vs ETA 2824, if slim down is an improvement great.
Other than that mechanically what is improved.
Both top grade share the same specs.

Iwc 7750 is modified, micro not modified. 1sec vs 7sec is few k up... Can afford great

Easy to service - yes in the hands of those can do it. If cannot still have to pay. Just oil ok, parts some vintage parts harder to find than others

2892 not only improve slim down and auto winding, it is more stable and more accurate, 2892 some brand can make it in 1s per day and stable, but 2824 cannot.
Yes IWC is modified, we talk about movement that is fully perfect done in the 7750. Like this zenith el primaro, Daytona take it to modify, why? Just becoz want it to more perfect.
Vintage watch collector must know how to service the watch, if not just pay the service also beh tahan, haha
