The Watch Thread - Part 10

[gaoxing84]

Just to make things clear, i wear watches for myself, not for anyone else. If I wanted to show off, I'd buy a TT dj2 or a blnr or a sub. Those watches have recognition. My favourite brand is iwc and trust me, no one my age (who doesn't love watches) even knows about the brand.
My good friends in school wear APs, PPs and Rollies. So there's nothing for me to show off. And how much I like a watch doesn't depend on price. I just don't like homages as l feel they don't give me the authentic feeling there are affordables I love very much and have regretted selling. a few examples are the seiko sumo and Hamilton khaki field. In any case, I don't mean to come across as a senstive arrogant prick. I am just sick and tired of being singled out just because I'm a student. I love watches and so do most of you. Why should I be treated differently?

wah wah you what school one? why APs, PPs and Rollies.

ivy league?

there you see ^, this is how we talk. lol

ya, you wear watches for yourself but your sudden outburst gives people this impression that you're sensitive. nobody is singling you out, its how we talk here.

this is a forum, expect some harmless jokes or trolling (standard issue)

ALS, Laco, Stowa, Wempe, IWC
The type A and B designs are the classic pilot watches designs you commonly see today

The case design of the laco is quite different. I've tried them one and they don't seem to be anywhere as well finished. Stowa watches, I like them but they're a little pricy. For double the price of one, I could get a preowned mark 16 or even a mark 17

Which is why I say no point to choose other brands...
You are already justifying for a preowned IWC with 2 brand new Stowas
Just get the IWC already

guys, just wondering, i'm working in a local tertiary education institution as well and yes, times have changed since i was a student...

when i was a student, a crumpler bag already puts you up there liao...wear a simple G-shock and you are the better half of the cohort liao...i think if wear rolex, girls queuing up to open legs for u le

now? i see Pradas, longchamps, MCMs, LVs etc as SCHOOL BAGS!!!! school fugging bags!!!! and worse still, most of the time said bags contain not much stuffs and the students end up having to handcarry some stuffs (example, laptop or bigger sized books)

the income they received cannot be that high, even if they work part time, they highly likely wont be able to afford such products, assuming its originals..
---

without going into the (quite) offensive assumption that they could be caring fake/replicas, can i then safely assume that its just parents giving more allowance to their kids? i see those students who show off parent's wealth as if its their hard-earned ones, i quite see them no up (or i'm envious i'm not born with a silver spoon, there - i said it...)

PS: if you fall into above category and dont have a open mind to participate in a mature discussion, then go back to mummy's arms and complain to her ba...

 

[indigo22]

OVM offer?

yup! me selling my OVM teehee, chiu interested?

 

[pwillie]

Bro,

Ur post just Jacked up the market price hahahhaha

No la, sharing is caring mah... But the WUS peeps still arguing that the Padi is a special edt vs a limited edt
We shall see after sept

 

[cyrenic]

I'd consider Zenith and Sinn too - you can choose from some really good movements, design and case materials.

But considering that you mentioned that "any model" from IWC would make you happy, I think you should just stick to IWC.

I just saw the Fortis Cockpit One at BB Complex, quite nice, I remember someone (cichlids) was looking at their Flieger Chrono. But price wise was $1.9k, with ETA 2436, the value for money is just not there even if the design is so alluring. For me at least. I'm a value hunter lol.
