The Watch Thread - Part 11

[bubblemunche]

Tried both models at the shop and decided to go for Omega AT. Feel that the workmanship and quality are much better, and it's stunningly beautiful!

Nice! Did you went for the blue dial as per your previous pic? I went for the white.

Mine says hi though it's taken a few days back,

Enjoy it! I really like it, but need to keep my watch collection lean.

And it's sold!

In my opinion, if you buy the rolex, you won't think of the omega.

I'm new to the mechanical watch scene and will need professional advises from the bros here. Currently considering the 2 watches below, any bros know which is better and worth it?

Omega SM Terra Aqua

Rolex Oyster Perpetual

Appreciate it much!

Oops didn't see this. The AT is a nice piece but you should've really gone with preowned for this model. Resale sucks!!

Dude chill GX and indigo aren't the nicest people around but you shouldn't scold their parents. I don't see eye to eye with either of them too. GX may be a low balling flipper who may/may not be able to afford all the watches he has and indigo may be a self righteous kid but give them a chance la, they're both hoping that their private degree certs will boost them up to the upper echelons of society. Regardless, we should have basic respect for people. So please please try not to launch personal attacks on others.

I really doubt u can get 017 bnib for S$2300. Seiya is selling US$2085 including shipment. Big time selling S$3k.

To be fair, it's hard to get an F in university, especially a private one..

i've not gotten an F before, but you sound like you know how to get one, you must be pretty experienced in getting it .

Thanks for your advice nonetheless, i'm doing good.

By the way, anyone got any opinions on the girard perragaux (sp?) 1966 in steel? Considering that vs jlc MUT moon vs GO senator..

No need. Use normal cloth.
No need special tools

You're back, nothing

BTW you do know that even ivy league schools are private as well?
I guess you don't know.
So much for govt uni education.

Guys any recommendations for watch servicing for a ETA-2824?

Been wearing my stowa for 5+ years and the time loss per day is getting significant so thinking of sending it for servicing

Was reading earlier posts and there are frequent recommendations for K2.
I looked it up and it seems like Mr Goh mostly services Seiko's, does anyone have experience bringing him other automatic movements?
