You're too kind, the Dufour Simplicity is way out of my league!

Journe is probably the most popular independent right now, and I am in particular attracted to the Resonance series.

any interest?

sweet recommendation!

GO is the OTHER excellent german watchmaker from glashutte that's often over shadowed by ALS, but by no means 2nd rate at all. it's just that ALS aura too powerful liao.

ok bro bubblemunche, pardon me if it comes across as too direct/intrusive, but are you keen on philip dufour or f p journe? did you score a philip dufour simplicity yourself?

Speaking of German, how about Nomos? I thought also not bad mar.

Zurich or Orion 38 are both very nice watches.

I used to dream of having a Nomos, but since then I've just acquired a simple Orient Star for dress occasions.. Not sure what most people's philosophy is, but I think I would be more willing to spend on something I could wear everyday, rather than something for the 7 days or so a year when I really need to be formal.

certainly not apollo 11.

agreed. certain pieces are reserved for limited duties like CNY visiting, weddings, D&D, etc before being returned to the safe.

that's why rolex sub (or omega seamaster sword hands as my preferred choice) are more versatile (birthday suit to business suit also can! )

if you like bauhaus designs like nomos, you'll sure to like another re-discovery: the bauhaus-inspired junghas max bill range!

Sorry if I am a bit late but here's my grail dress watch.

The 1815 is damn sweeee! But out of range for me peasant...

I own Nomos Tangente and Zurich Worldtimer now... They are very value for the money spent really... More so if you love the bauhaus style!

Think I shared before a few of my speedies lol.. just gotta dig old post lol

jin sex but then again, dress watch not my thing

 

[bubblemunche]

Not the chronometre bleu?

The Chronometre Bleu is undeniably attractive. But the Resonance is awe-inspiring:

my fitzai big bro DXMachina, one way i deal with my watch obsession is delayed gratification. i trawl the internet for info, links, vids & photos of the watch i like. bookmark them. download the nice pics, video review, etc - yeah like watch pr0n, no?

to serve as a substitute for the real thing. and exercise considerable restraint. lun until the passion subsides. (yes i know, bro pwillie chiobu did say dong too much may suffer internal injury. that naughty chiobu! go tease until like that )

after 6 months, 1 yr, 2 yrs... if the passion still burns as deep, and if an offer that's too good comes along, snagging that piece still not too late. rather than end up with a surfeit of watches i need to unload later.

that's how i scored my omega 2254.50... and my soon-to-arrive omega 2538.20 seamaster gmt great white! hope all is well with it when it arrives!

861 never went to the moon. Only 321s, as verified by Omega Museum's head honcho himself.

Hi bros, wanna ask some opinion. Do u think it is necessary to place your watches on winders ?

One of my colleague said a boutique SA told him that he shud put his watches on a winder. This is to prevent the user from overwinding the watch.

And that frequent winding to the watch may easily cause wear and tear to its inside parts ?

Wonder if its true, hence hope for some insights. TIA
