The Watch Thread - Part 12

[DXMachina]

Hehe thanks thanks. Lust for watches too long sure blue ball

Actually what I meant was that we now have the same blue Presage and Ball watches!

But yes, lust too long for watches no good.

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.

dafug sick
110kg to 71kg, respect
got pic bo?

haha i lose you abit

98kg to 69kg, now build back to 83kg LOLOL

Glad u jump to one of the best watches. But most have wallet to stomach also. I wish i have the choice then

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.

Hehe i get it both

That's what I think too. $21k can get a real 15202 rather than the nautilus's poor cousin.

Don't bother. It's a wannabe nautilus. Rather get the royal oak which is alternate gerald genta design.

HAGWE

I doubt you can get a 15202 at that price.

Losing excessive weight is good, but I learned that it is not a true measurement of fitness. Speaking of which, I have to take my IPPT soon.

Just like how others have nice watches, don't need to envy or be jealous, just work hard and buy when you can.

If ever feeling sad, just look into your 1680 and reflect, then someday, your 1680 will have so much sad memories, that you can sell it to me cheap.

Lol.. mai quote me lei. I also lost during my poly times. 115kg to at 75kg ? Lol now gain alot more weight liao.. bui bui

 

[BallGag]

FWIW I think the Aquanaut is a fine watch. It's also kind of weird to hear things like "wannabe" or "poor man's xxx" in a forum where brands like Steinhart are generally quite well received. Just sayin'

lol staying real always

 

[AyuReady]

Think is the positioning from the start

Like Lexus and Toyota mark X

Mark x on its own is a damn decent car but always be a poor man Lexus

In that regard the aquanaut also play second fiddle to its big bro

lol staying real always

GX bro you see me too up liao. I'm the opposite, went from 68kg to 95kg.

Wish to just give a shout out of appreciation to all the bros who advised me to keep my Sea-Dweller when I had the itch to change it to the Deepsea. I'm fully appreciating the SD now.

Weekend gun shot!
