The Watch Thread - Part 11

[Wuuhaa]

omega constellation range within your budget.

For omega or cartier ladies watch, should i go to their boutiques or watch shops like sincere /hourglass to get better discounts?

Any idea how much discount i can get for them?

Thanks!

PSA for cheapestnatostraps if you don't know it already, not sure if it works for everyone, but "welcomeback" gives you a 15% discount if you aren't buying that many straps.

The deep red dial also evokes Mt. Iwate at dawn

The dial has a delicate and beautiful radial pattern that is inspired by the many ridged contours of Mt. Iwate. This special pattern is unique to Grand Seiko. The dial color echoes the deep red that is seen on clear mornings as the sun lights up Mt. Iwate.


Love their description of the color.

If your lady is into fashion watches I will throw in these two watches. Might not get the approval of bros here, but think ladies who are not into watches will be impressed by the brand and look. Nomos and Omega are great choices too.

1) Tiffany & Co. East West (Quartz) ~$5k

2)Cartier Tank Solo (W5200013) (Quartz) S$3,750

Thanks for the replies.

I refuse to buy handbags.....
Currently she is wearing an Emporio Armani watch, so i guess more into dress and fashion watch.

I am thinking of getting her a something decent from a proper watch company like Omega, but not too sure where to start.

I ordered 2 suede straps 2 days ago. One for myself and the other for a friend. Should be getting them next week. Will post a mini review in this thread once I get a hold of them.

Thanks! I am interested to know how the suede leather feels like!

Which retailer did you get it from and did you wait long?

Taobao, alibaba all these have already.

Yup, GX is right. Got mine from Taobao actually, don't think the retailer matters since most of it comes from a factory in Guangdong so might as well get it from someone closer to the original source. Took about a week and a half to arrive

On a side note, anyone have any cheap Panerai-styled leather straps to recommend from Taobao or other similar sites?

The original straps are really bad, at least if yours is the same as what I got.

I just paid for Cheapestnatostraps..

What key words do you use? The ones I saw are about the same price as what Jackson Tse charges actually.

A couple of other interesting Chinese watches from TB. Haven't decided on whether to hoot them

Just discovered weird "discolouration" on my black monster dial and it seems to take the shape of the hour hand

Did you leave the hour hand at the same position for very long?

Could be uneven ageing as a result of that.

Ya, that's what I thought also. But nevermind, it becomes more vintage like that, lol

Looks like the inside has been compromised by moisture? Are those water bubbles formed by condensation?
