The Watch Thread - Part 12

[snowver]

Save up. If not might regret later. Call ad up or just walk ard or put down deposit and wait. Good luck!

Hi brothers and sisters, it's me again the impulsive kashix!
Just want to check, thinking to hoot again, looking at the Tudor BBB or the BBR. Can advise where can get the best price? Is it the Chinatown one? But my Grail I think is the rollie batman, is it worth to save up a bit more and be 1 watch guy? I learn from ayuready Kor Kor, saving up for end game!

 

[kashix]

I'm hunting for bbb also

Can't decide BBB or BBR, which one nicer you think? Leaning towards BBB like nicer but something about the BBR

Where to get best deal for batman? Prefer new as going to be first rollie.

I bought mine from Hour Glass on Dec 15. Back then, it was selling at SGD13.5k, which was above RRP. I think now cannot sell above RRP.

Where to buy depends on whether u prefer AD or grey dealer. If first timer, go to AD for certainty.

But i think Batman is out of stock at most places dealers. Just leave your name in the waitlist.

1 watch guy ftw! Tudor like not bad cause like good specs, looks very pretty but of cuz not Rolex ya I want to be 1 watch guy despite my idols like rboyboy, Gx84 and ayuready Kor Kor hehehes

If it's 1 watch, I suggest that you stick to Rolex.

I'm almost a 1 watch guy too...

1 moon phase
1 brass chronograph
1 pilot chronograph
1 automatic diver
1 quartz diver
1 Spring Drive GMT
1 ...

See!

If I going to take a while to save up for batman, no harm hunt for a pre own tudor.

When ur cash sufficient u can sell and I think minimal loss on the Tudor.

So u can reach ur end game while savouring some decent watch along the way.

Make Tudor like a check point. Heheh just my opinion

End game mode!

Anybody call for Panerai?
Pam owners like getting extinct. Seeing less Pam in the wild.
I think it's due to the shift from big watches to more subtle sizes

Opinions on Panerai?

i think by now, every regular in this thread knows i'm partial to the oop omega seamaster professional chronometer ref 2254.50. so it's no wonder that i wholeheartedly recommend you the omega 2254.50.

this cult favorite among its admirers may not be the most expensive diver, but its current market price with boxes+cards+manual has comfortably exceeded it's initial retail price, and will only continue to climb steadily in the future.

the 2254.50 is a future classic in the making, right before our very eyes. grab them now before its price climb even higher in the future. yes, you heard it first from me. feel free check back in 10-20 yrs time and thank me later. cos those who own them will be able to pocket a nice fat return!

apart from being a safe investment piece, this watch, imo, is full of charm & character.

more from my review last year.

I'm torn between
Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch Chronograph Black Dial Black & Navitimer Automatic Chronograph.

More exciting than Rolex Submariner Blue tone which I will probably get when I'm older n a manager or something.

the 38mm original 1969 el-primero seems to be oos in many ADs currently.

i usually window shop at 2nd hand watch shops. so i can examine the watch in the metal.

if you're adventurous and trust online sellers, can try the FS sections of forums like watchuseek. or try ebay. but i'd avoid those that ship via fedex (aka fedup), dhl or ups cos these bloody **** courier companies will automatically tack on 7% gst.

Joining watchuseek later.

Recently tried the pam 620 and 655. Must say i am impressed. Works for my small wrist and not thick or heavy at all.

Still amazed at their prices. They should do ballet like nmd or yeezy lolz

But seriously, is it worth it? I need square-type of watch also.
