Aiyo i juz wanna ask budget 2k wat watch can recommend and then a separate question abt tudor bb only -_-

Oh, assuming you need to keep to budget and dive style watch is what you like..

Can look at Oris.

 

[cyrenic]

Gotta control la..was a tad tempted but managed to curb. Hopefully when wo mo ni, ni mo wo, won't tio poisoned

Hahaha... But Ventus Mori very cheap leh.

 

[cyrenic]

i think i can accept those for >20% discount.

I only scare not authentic, or is "problematic" (repair many times but always spoil) watch, or swapped parts, or internal wear and tear very bad

the prices in AD are scary lolx, since now rolex website got publish price

I won't bother, because I doubt pawnshops are that experienced to be able to tell apart fake from real, and they don't specialise after all.

Just look at this piece of news, and you will stick to more experienced watch shops (of course you could argue that because they are more experienced, they will be better equipped to cheat you, but I think most of them have a rep to uphold).

Or maybe you can go to Valuemax, hehe.

Together with two conspirators, a man cheated pawnshops of nearly $100,000 earlier this year by pawning them counterfeit timepeices that were passed off as genuine Audermars Piguet watches.

Fong Kheng Yue, 44, then received about $10,000 from his alleged accomplice, who gave him the fake Audemars Piguet watches.

On Tuesday, Fong, who is unemployed, was jailed for 18 months after admitting to three of eight charges of abetment by conspiracy to cheat Heng Seng Pawnshop, Moneymax Pawnshop and Soon Yi Pawnshop between Jan 11 and Feb 1 this year.

Hahaha... But Ventus Mori very cheap leh.

I think it's cos the Mori wasn't love at first sight (unlike your Ocean One Legacy lol). But from more photos posted by the bros here, it's growing on me a bit. I guess gotta see it & molest it in person before pulling the trigger.

Hahaha... I've sold the Ocean One Legacy off already btw.. Got bored of it... And I think I've kind of given up on Steinhart watches, they just don't fit my wrist size too well.

The only Steinhart I'm keeping is the Nav B Chrono, because oversized pilot watches not so bad to me.

But yar, Ventus Mori is not bad, but may not be suitable size for you la. Ocean One Legacy looks good on your wrist!

Noooooo!! But yeah the Steinhart homages have pretty long lugs so they wear pretty large. You reminded me of my Nav B pilot as well, I should wear it more..it's getting mighty neglected.

My imaginary impression of Ed.Yeo whenever I see his post:

*EY walks into a shop *
EY: I want this watch
Shop: Okay. I will get it for you
EY: hold on.. Give me all the colour available for the model

Satki EY buys all and walk out of the shop

 

[AyuReady]

Lol very apt description.

Look forward to seeing his showhand shots of all his watches

Think need 8-12mm lens, super wide angle then can fit in all
