The Watch Thread - Part 12

Actually just the black gold combination look.

This isn't Darth, or am I out of the loop?

 

[MrSenG]

Ok la, I did say before which PP I wanted the most so this may not be that surprisingly for some.

Bro Thai_rak_Thai, imitation is the highest form of flattery...and with that, I present:

Congratulations!

Definitely can feel the poison sink in deeper, even the box is a masterpiece. I once saw a Patek Philippe Wood Watch Winder (PTK-H997) and they were being sold at around USD$1.4K

Never understand why Tudor & Rolex don't beautify casebacks

It's been their style. They stick to tradition
Tool watch no need. That's what they think..

when they do, they go all out.

I see. Okie. Yeah this is the look that I'm hunting for ... izit the marine master 300?

nope MM1000 because 1000metres. The Spring Drive you posted is the limited edition MM600 if I am not wrong. Spring Drive and automatic different pricing.

 

[rboyboy]

Come to think of it none of my watches have ceramics except Apple Watch haha

your MM1000 not ceramic meh haha

 

[furryballs]

$24,850 if include strap change cost.

Watch verified by Ion PP boutique that it was bought from them in Nov 2016.

You verified that the watch is bought from the boutique, or you verified authenticity through the boutique?

 

[nivlac9]

Ahh ya so many models. I am also confused. Regardless, will try to hunt in Japan to see which shop got such watches. Ultimately I just like the gold black combo, model # doesn't really matter.

take note that the Spring Drive requires more servicing compared to auto and also nobody can service 8L35 calibre in SG if I am not wrong. Looking forward to your new hoot!

Unless you consider the lower end solar baby tuna which also comes in black/gold combi SBDN028

 

[naro]

Ask wrist size ok, if ask about other size gotta PM me to know! Just kidding.

Mine is 7.2", not that much diff from yours. I think you should be able to pull off a 47mm nicely.

Haha..

I think i shld go and check out at the shop.

Patek train to continue. Paging Nakedtoes.

This is my favourite beef noodle place in Bangkok

Yeah yeah..... Welcome another 5167 into the thread... ... The watch that looks like some pasar malam watches 3 for $10... PPL asking me the price... usually i asked them to guess.. they usually range from $100++ to 2k....and when they know the price of the watch they look... Only a real watch lover will truly appreciate a Patek.

they can if they really wants... and if they do it i dun think u can get ROLEX so CHEAP and affordable... at least extra 40% more the RRP now u willing to pay?

 

[IndianChief]

Those tissot watches being sold in lazada

Are they authorised dealers or not? Trying to find out if it will come with authentic warranty

Been infatuated with vintage datejusts recently. In particularly the 1601/4 with the white gold bezel and white dial. People are selling on carousell for around $2k plus without box/papers. Don't know if it's a good buy or not. The watch just looks stunning.

the achilles heel of vintage watches is their aged movement. you need to open up their casebacks & eyeball the guts of the watch. a particularly worn out movement from a cheap watch may set you back a pretty penny to restore it to usable status (note i said "usable", just to tell the time adequately - and not "mint"). BYO timegrapher to check out diagnostics.

as always b+p+service history is definitely worth the premium for vintage watches, especially for collectors and also in the long run.

then, there're some non-PP owners who don't even consider the aquanaut not a "proper" PP instead of the nautilus wor, despite their same movement... .

My brother asked me when he first saw my nautilus, "is that a seiko?". I just said yes.

He still thinks it's a Seiko.

I totally feel you!

So dishonest. My wife ask about my GS, I told her It's a Seiko and she stopped asking after that.
