nothing much to beo at THG, checked 5 watches for hwz-ers, all not on sales...

I own both the 372 and 233. I still like the 233 as it's lighter and I don't have to worry so much about scratches.

Ups for GX84, really knows his stuff.



pam 372 is still on my wishlist - just can't decide if I should give up the 233 for it... problem is that it's a 47mm case so all the straps are 26 mm instead of 24 mm (a whole new world of "happy problems" which can be solved with $$$)...

the size is massive - great for weekends or if you're a loud person. probably won't fit under shirtcuffs...

Maybe because you wearing a watch too satki for their taste.

In all honestly, it was the DW that got me on the search for a timepiece. I didn't like the DW, which got me to MVMT, then subsequently to Timex (almost pulled the trigger), then Seiko (my father always has a Seiko) and eventually I saw the Submariner and told myself, this is the one.

Is that the much sought-after watch?! Did you try the shark nato on it? How's the accuracy on yours?

Not long, lol. I saw that many of my friends had the DW, which I borrow to try on, but just no feeling for it, felt like a dinner plate. Then I saw a friend who bought the MVMT and tried it on as well, and felt the same as DW. Subsequently chanced upon the Timex Waterbury Chronograph, but something about the Quartz movement felt lifeless, like no different from my Casio.

Eventually, learned about the automatic watches and looked at the Seiko 5 Sport models, during the search I saw the mention of the Submariner and something just 'clicked'.

The greatest part is that I am constantly learning about timepieces, and I'm glad the Submariner has some poison resistance, or at least enough until my wallet recovers.

Haha, didn't really have a budget in mind when I started, not that wallet is deep, but its just hard to put a price tag on things sometimes. It helps that the money mainly came from my NS days, when I resisted visits to the canteen for the famous Sungei Gedong chicken chop/cutlet fried rice. The watch also serves as a reward for having lost weight from 110kg to 71kg.

It is the stories that accompany the watch which I value the most.
