The Watch Thread - Part 12

[fabiaN__]

Anyone know the max discount from IWC?

Nv checked at IWC boutique itself. But Cortina / Sincere gives around 10% to 12% max.

I went to Japan (grey dealer) and saw the price there to be much cheaper though.. 2nd hand price for brand new piece. So tempted back then!

hmm... looks like modding the hands will be good business if the re-issues took off.

 

[confusedboi]

I thought BLNR is a gmt2?

OOps my mistake, .

Off to lunch

first up, congrats on scoring this unicorn - as in it's a rare bird! (just like the cream dial seiko alpinist). NOS some more! swee lah!

the 7s26 movement is so abundant that you don't worry about servicing and parts for many, many years to come!

i don't know if its the zeitgeist of the moment or because i've started noticing, but it seems that white dial watches are catching on: bro slow_mo white dial GS spring drive "grand urchin" diver, bro mpcdude's snow flake, bro nitriles's 216570 exp II polar, my omega smp gmt great white, and of course your unicorn skx027.

Spoiler

mind sharing how much you managed to get it for? did you get the full set with b+p? pm me if you prefer. thanks!

Eh... mine is not a Spring Drive diver. It's a quartz diver.

Enjoy this splendid Sunday!

這些。。。有不少是要轉移他人目光到自己手腕上的那隻錶啦。。。為了向他人招手，＂我也懂得一點德國空軍錶的歷史哦～～～＂

Sevenfriday also want to fake? That said, fake one the price more commensurate with what the watch brand is - an overhyped party trick brand imho.

Skittering on the edge of lug overhang but still a favourite. Probably one of the most affordable Valjoux 7750 ard!

Doing a consistent +2 seconds day. Maybe mine got calibrated by IWC tech hor along the way.

有一樣技術性的資訊較少人提。。。
那是，最基本的7750機芯準確度可以達到cosc天文台級的秒數誤差。所以當你花大錢在買入任何cosc計時錶的時候，你那cosc證書，也就變成一個配套的點綴品了。。。

THG can get more than Cortina/Sincere, if i'm not wrong...

Guys do you think a rolex coke from 1997 with pin hole, no box and papers is worth 8.6k?

[Ed.YEO]

哇。。。二十年咧。。。$8千6喔。。。

 

[snowver]

不值得对嘛？不久前还有8k 或以下的。不知道价格是调整了还是暂时缺货。

哇。。。二十年咧。。。$8千6喔。。。

 

[Ed.YEO]

二十年很长咧。。。賣家当时多少买入，行货还是水货，很难知道。
二十年间有没有上过rsc修理，更是。。。你不想知道的。。。
