Thanks
Yup the 3120. Haha

always loved the AP gold rotors with their engraved coat of arms. hoping they'd make another bumblebee, but with the see through caseback.

any last words ah.....here are some spoilers
- job market so bad you sure u wanna hoot now?
- a lot of fakes for AP and they even come with the engraved gold rotor wor
- it's a lot of money which you can do many other things with leh
- family covered by medical insurance yet? see what happened to me?
- the price point is so close to a PP or even a lange (i think?)
- you sure ah? no buyer's regret?


just kidding. I'm sure we all go through these thought processes but still let our hearts rule. but that's what it means to be alive.

don't forget to post wrist shots.

"do you think FnG Watch Thread de people damn haolian? i noe mine only 5k but they talk like they have watches that costs a hdb on their wrist"

that's because he hasn't spoken to iceflight. he doesn't have a HDB on his wrist - he's got a landed property.

Hi,

Can anybody recommend me either a local store or online retailer which sells the orient brand of watches.

Im rather interested in the Orient M-Force Bravo (SEL0A002D0)

https://orientwatchusa.com/shop/mens-watches/sel0a002d0/

So far locally, big time watches has it for $615 after discount.

Online retailer which i am familiar would be longislandwatches in the states which has it for $548 after conversion from USD and the shipping which was USD $22. But since its above SGD400, i havent added the 7% GST.

Anybody can give advice or suggestions on other alternatives?

Check creationwatches but not sure if there's stock.

Good evening,

Hi this is my first time asking question on HWZ i am looking for my first Automatic watch. I only owned Edifice and a Typical DW watch that you guys wouldn't even bother to have it.

Long story short I would like to purchase my very first automatic, Budget of $500 dollars. A few things i would like is a exhibition case back, saphire crystal and it looks classic and classy. Some reference to possible designs that i would like.

seiko srq023j1

and


solvil et titus 06-2716 001



Background about me, I am age 21, Male and would like to own a automatic that has those criterias and look something like the links provided and also fits my budget i need help selecting a good first watch and a place to help me kickstart my hunt for one. Please recommend me thanks!

P.S i suddenly got intrigue into mechanical watches and the inner workings of watches that runs without battery by ways of manual winding and or automatic. I am bombarded with way too many brands. I need help to narrow it down. Seiko/orient seems to have all the criterias but the design isn't for my age range... and the one i like and put on the link cost 2k +...


I've got a Titus 06-2308-002 for around 5 years. Still working well. Been my daily beater for the past year since I started work again.
No problem so far.
But not a popular brand I guess.

Never thought I'd one day spend so much on a single timepiece. Going to pull the trigger on this today and planning to get the bracelet downstream. Any last words before I take the plunge on this art piece?

Nice and do enjoy it

Some people do not like the China movement and their branding strategy

But quite value for money I guess

Thanks all. Not fully recovered yet so mostly pcw now. Still quite bedridden. Doc says there's a 1/3 chance for a 3rd surgery. Like a timebomb. Can be in a few weeks can be in a few years. Life's priorities all changed.
