[TeenTitan01]

Quick question, does anyone know where can I replace my crystal on my Daniel Wellington to a sapphire one? Seems like a tall order

been looking thru this thread and other forums trying to increase my knowledge but the more undecided I've become.. I think sometimes it's best to just take the plunge and live with the decision.. cant decide between Air King 116900 and Explorer series..

the Air King looks attractive but I cant wrap my head around the prominent minute scale, it looks confusing but the yellow crown and green rolex looks nice..

explorer is simple yet very niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..

Yeah bro, even the speedy pro secondhand value better than 3777

way more valued.

but IWC more satki in branding la. all will think IWC more sexpensive compared to omega.

I dunno how they will think IWC is more expensive than Omega, but to me I like IWC becoz of IWC more focus on their transition skill, compare to omega, Omega they way want to change their skill to high tech material and skill, like the silicon balance wheel, movement machine polishing...

Like u see the Lange, today Lange becoz of JLC and IWC share the skill to save this brand up(read the Lange history). So u won't see this few brand will use silicon or nylon kind material on their movements.

Do u know the silicon technology Rolex and Patek also got invested? But finally why they dun use it on their movement? I also dunno why, haha

brand positioning lor. to people, IWC is perceived as atas brand.
Omega is like cheaper to acquire.
that's the umbrella perception of a brand to people.

omega is all about innovation. Rolex is all about finishing and upping their skills and making it perfect.

i don't know about IWC though, their high end stuff don't appeal to me. infact only their non-inhouse models appeal to me (the aquatimer that i had for a brief period lol)

if i were to buy a in house brand, only JLC, Lange and Patek.

But so far, only JLC is the cheaper option (still a heavy 5 figure) and maintenance is damn expensive.

I didn't consider these when I bought my seamasters.. went in to look at TH, then slowly move to Breitling, IWC... don't know how I ended up at Omega corner and bought one.. coz it looks nice to me and make me feels like double "0" seven.. lol.. a few years later, got another seamaster, this time Aqua Terra. the simple minded me..


now here I am, learning from everyone before my next hoot.

my first Swiss watch is longines and lady speedmaster for her... and than IWC, sevenfriday for her, u know what I learn until today? Value is the king! When u think want to swap your watch to other watch and dun want to top up so much, once your watch have no value, then... no then liao

Omega is the one I most disappointed brand, lady speedmaster bought 2014 cost 5.5k+, today trade in value 1.8k and some shop also dun want to trade except speedy pro

DW watch is crap (or perfect; depending how you look at it), there's no need to change anything.

No offense. Just share what I learn from here.

Personally, LE > bad taste, but have to pass my cringe test.
