Hi all,

I just purchased an Orient Star watch from Amazon.jp. It has a steel bracelet but thinking of switching it out to an aftermarket rubber strap with deployment clasp. There are many cheap options on Lazada, but are they any good? Anyone here have experience?

Can anyone help?

Anyone with a double domed sapphire? What effect does it have?

I will also get a domed sapphire to differentiate the style abit. Will also use back the same hands. What do you all think?

Just saw this article on Hodinkee

In a similar vein, what watch did everyone wear most in 2016?

Here's mine, the NOMOS Tangente. Being the only dressy watch I own, I reach for it by default on Mon-Thurs.

Is that a 35 or 38?
Sigh, mine is running fast. Abt 20+ seconds/day. Bought direct from them and still under warranty. Not sure if I want to send it back to Germany.

20mm?

Dress watch style? I will say quality will be a hit or miss. Maybe can go down gnomon to see

Have nato straps and also rubberised straps

Can anyone help?

Mine's the classic 35

I'm sure someone somewhere has a demagnetizer you can try first..

Not bad. Maybe consider change the hands too.

Where are you going to get the domed sapphire for the SNK809k1? So far i only know crystaltimes sells Flat sapphire crystal /w blue AR for SNK809k1

 

[Thai_Rak_Thai]

my bro let me try on his TAG Monaco CW211 (I hope i got the reference right)

Yes 20mm. I don't need anything too formal looking. Something more for everyday comfort and to reduce the weight from the bracelet. I want to preserve the bracelet for maybe special occasions.

Any idea what the price range is like at gnomon?

 

[destan84]

Hi all..anyone able to advise me the current price of frederique constant classic moonphase? Thinking of hooting one any reviews or comments on this watch are appreciated.

I'm probably getting one from crystaltimes. Speaking of which I believe the more you buy the more bulk discount you will get. Anybody wanna get any crystals so we can do a group buy?
