The Watch Thread - Part 13

[sleepyman]

That's a vintage beauty. 1675?

Wah.. few here appreciates such "uncle" watch.
Yes, its a 1675 MK3 radial.
Was heng to find it.. cuz tiagong this variation produced for only abt 1 year..

 

[BallGag]

Wah this you approve? Lol. Sleepyman say later you bash
6.1 was quoted to me. I think can push further
Wait for half a year. Maybe can go low 5
Yes it's quite chunky. Thick. Slightly thinner than mm300 case.
Buy the bracelet. Since same price.

Bracelet available already? Might take a look tomorrow.

Seen on SCS, since someone asked about Poh Ling before, watch in question is apparently a Sinn chronograph:

It's nice, and I'm sure most here can and will appreciate i and your collection ; which I'm sure you spent a considerable amount of time and resources to acquire(sure beats the heck out of mine anyway) . I'm also sure more would appreciate what you have if you were a little less disingenuous and cynical, but eh, what do I know.

Yeap. At wisma tag heuer boutique.
Buying the bracelet is a no Brainer.
Same price. The strap can be gotten like what 100 odd for a customised one

I doubt you will like it but pls buy.
So I got dibs on your piece when you wanna offload.
Hahahaha

Vintage really is effort and knowledge.
Sleepyman taught me a lot and I am still sitting on the tip of the iceberg.

both ends of the game must give mutual respect. Modern reissues can be a hit or miss. But that's the point. Having modern technology on old designs. Plus not everyone has the knowledge, effort and money to drop on vintage. So what's the closest way to wear one? Reissues.
And who do this ppl envy and learn from? Those vintage collectors.
Simple as that. Share your knowledge and the love man.

A good eg will be:
Like Jordans sneakers. every year reissue and nobody complains. Still selling like hot cakes.

Just take it as a modern watch lor. Given the specs, it is value for money.

Lol. Make sense. Wait for preowned.
It's a hefty piece.
With bracelet. Almost like mm300

Oh, I'm sure. I'm just saying, it doesn't really make a lot of sense acting like it's a highly acquired taste and no one else gets it when one is sharing pictures on a public forum. I mean, loosen up, man. Also a little dumb to mistake someone that is clearly on your side (not talking about you) as being someone who isn't.

Anyway, I'm done, the only person deserving of constant verbal abuse is on the tailoring thread and not here.

Also, I finally remembered to order the MM balm. About bloody time too, left with a small scrape.

What you have there is a timeless classic. Now you take care of it.

Hey bro. Thanks for giving the thumbs up.
Maybe we dont know each other enough.. but i know i may give strong "purist" views.. and sometimes probably too forceful..
Really, its not about counting the watches we have.. more about sharing our passion and knowledge to enjoy this journey with friends.
Made some good friends here and will want to continue sharing.
Cheers bro!

Aiyo bro, happy to share lah.
Glad that you also made some smart decisions on your 1680.. going for the long term value appreciation and it could be your best horology "investment"!
Its not often u come across in such condition..
Wear in good health!

Hmm I was thinking if I should venture into seiko vintages.

Something like the 6206-8040 really fascinates me. Any Bros here have any ideas? Much thanks!
