hi bros and sistas here, been doing a lot of research and readup, like if i really decide to buy my first good watch, the tudor bb, should I go buy the older model and save a bit or just go for the new one which is chronometer certified? any owners of the older bb have any issues with the time keeping? i saw some forums saying like can slow by 15 mins? :O TIA all, btw is gnomon the shop last time at the shaw tower one?

I think a lot will like the current one especially for the black due to a limited run of only a few months.

The new one bracelet have rivets dun appeal to me based on photos. I personally like the smiley words more.
Yeah gnomon used to be at shAw tower

I recall a bro here bought a isofrane styled rubber strap at 1/3 the cost. It's from a rather popular microbrand iirc. Can anyone recall the brand?

Yes Elshan comes in once in awhile! I had the chance to beo his prototypes for the hammerhead! Very solid watch, albeit thick and chunkier than most, for its price point!

Gotta say the bronze meteorite dial is a beauty!

some pics i took that day!

This last one was an experiment protoype as ppl were asking him to try adding the damascus insert with the SS meteorite dial model!

Spoiler

Yes you should! Get a preowned good condition one if you want to save some $$!



Haha thanks bro slow_mo! You poked me on to get it! Wrists shot tmr!

Nice!!
The ceramic bezel with meteorite dial would be smashing...

The new one are more pragmatic imo cuz longer power reserve. I like the new one more because the movement is a lot better on my eyes. It might be on par with rolex in terms of tech. I feel people are speculating too much for the old dial. Personally I like the new dial more.

What I meant was getting the Zelos for watersport use instead of more expensive Tudor/Rolexes

if i were you, a gshock.

black bay which color?

black bay 4680
sub 10800

after discount

black bay 3900 - 15%
sub 9720 - 10%

its 2.5x difference.

are you gonna be a one watch guy or you're looking to get more?
do you like the black bay better or the sub?
go and try them and come back with your views on both of them..(resell value aside.)

serious haha i went with the 10 when i had 4 or 5.
i grew them till its full, sold a couple, added a watch winder because 1680 sub is a pain in the a$$ to set the date (no quickset date) and now i am left with 3 open slots.

10 is a good, once you max it out, time to let go and up the game.

if you're gonna get 6 slots, you're gonna have a headache when you have the 7th.


nice baby tuna, love the colors, same as my computer rig, yellow and black!

 

[gaoxing84]

Wahhhh vintage Heuer sia...

this is da bomb.
panda and got feel to the rolex 6263 (at 1/6 of the price, similar movement i supposed. the valjoux)
this is gonna cost me 10 grand man.

let me slowly dig and snag a good deal if i ever see one in the wild
