The Watch Thread - Part 11

[indigo22]

有生意上門，老吳沒有理由拒絕。除非。。。他真的手頭上真的沒有該機械機芯部件，還是石英錶的某個機款。

最好的建議是拿着已經停走的錶，給老吳看一看，辨認一下機款，在決定是否可修。

hmm agree...nothing beats letting him check personally

Hi guys, newbie here much to learn from you guys.

As a first time buyer of luxury watches, i am currently looking at Omega/Rolex watches. Have a budget of $5k - 6k what would you guys recommend?

Also what shop do you guys usually go to, to get your watches?

Thanks!

As a Speedy owner, I'd say it's worth every dollar and more. But you can't go wrong with a pre-loved Rolex Sub that fits within your budget as well.

i'm targetting the reverso as a proposal "ring" to my gf

though im not sure if i'll be insane to spend USD400 (plus minus) for ONE INITIAL to be engraved...

married gentlemen, may i know how much a proposal ring (is that what its called?) cost?

sadly, it's a rare char bor who isn't suckered in by the diamond deception.

the poor thing also need to fend off the catty remarks from airheads. so gentlemen who wants char boh are basically screwed.

Thanks man!
coz i just hoot SRP773K1 series. So would like to double check the fuel' as compare to my previous one.

and a check done is about 40hours

Love your answer...

Decided to spoon feed him...

Basically some watches comes with a power reserve indicator (fuel gauge) that tells you how much fuel is left. Depending on the fuel tank (full tank is 72 hours for the watch below), you can estimate the amount of fuel left.

For those without power reserve indicator, you might have to time your watch (mentioned by Crexzz) and check against the user manual to see if it matches.
