Wah. Sometimes I will bring my wrist up just to admire my watch and not really to read the time. If somebody asks me what time it is right after I do that, I would have to look at it again. lol. Luckily that has not happened yet.

I wear a watch to sleep. Anyone can up the game? :s13:

I've always felt that winders are only necessary if you have very complicated watches that are very tedious or difficult to set.

I like to "connect" with my watches. Setting the watch is one of the ways, so doing it on a daily basis is not an issue for me. Anyway, It should take less than 2 minutes to set it. YMMV. :D

As for wear and tear, I personally believe that putting a watch on a winder everyday would lead to faster wear and tear, unless you wear the same watch everyday (then no difference).
Same, I set everytime I switch. The reverse day on Valjoux 7750 always throws me off though.

this sentiment, all omega 2254.50 owners will agree! :D

there's so much to admire besides the iconic wave dial: the date wheel that merges discreetly into the dial, generous lumed hour markers that preserve dial symmetry, the smooth sweep of the sporty red-tipped lollipop seconds hand and minute hands that reaches to the edge of the chapter ring, highly polished hands that flashes fire under lighting like diamonds, the domed sapphire crystal, the low profile thinness of the case and lume pip, the iconic scalloped bezel and HEV, the short compact polished lyre lugs that allows the watch to sit comfortable on wrist, the quality solid bracelet with SELs and excellent clasp that closes with insane tolerance, etc, etc, etc! :love:

Any1 ordered watch from creation watches online? Any exp? Thanx

Sent from Samsung SM-N9005 using GAGT

if you prefer to eyeball and handle the watch before purchase, you can consider watch fashion (the physical shop of skywatches) at people's park complex if they're the cheapest. their high pressure sales tactics of the male bosses suck (except for their friendlier pinay sales person) but if that's the cheapest after your research, can consider. just check, pay and grab.

BIG WARNING though: they're parallel importers and only offer shop warranty. and if you prefer roman numeral day wheel (only avail from agent sets) like me, tough luck - they only have J versions with arabic day wheel or K versions with spanish day wheel.

yup, it's way past the honeymoon stage, so it's true love! :D

i'm just fortunate to discover & own an honest, affordable, cult collectible classic with design and features I like all in a watch! it really helps me resist most watch poison and the rolex aspirational watch that plagues most people - which is a real blessing too, given my very limited funds. :(

to me, it's that good that I prefer it to a rolex sub anyday, as stated in my previous review: http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/f...hread-part-9-a-5265967-550.html#post101370464

being oop means the omega 2254.50 is even more exclusive than the rolex sub - a watch unfortunately plagued by fakes and homages (no offense to rolex bros here cos it's a very good watch with an excellent movement - just overpriced for the value it represent - although it holds its value really well!)

particularly in SG, its good to see someone like something not iconic/ the current in demand crowd favourite.
