The Watch Thread - Part 13

[slow_mo]

Gennermen, where can I purchase an 18mm rose gold tang buckle?

Just the buckle, do not want any strap or what.

Itchy hand bought the Orient AC00006B, changed to vintage leather strap which looks damn swee until you turn around and see the SS buckle which sticks out like a sore thumb.

Have you tried Carousell?

consider going hardcore on true racing legends:
- vintage rolex daytona
- vintage heuer
- vintage omega speedmaster

Not touching vintage. Daytona almost got one. Speedmaster dial didn't sing to me, the Carrera popped. But yeah you can see I am missing the point, I don't dig the historical significance that much. Looks over ride. You can say I have a have a manly taste in watches but choose like a lady

To each his own. I also didn't like the Speedmaster although there many beautiful photos of the Speedy in this thread.

Actually my choice in watches are based on looks and quality...brand is a just so happens to be kinda thing. I find anything from entry to mid luxury like Tag is good enough. Too bad Tags don't get much respect

IMO Tag heuer is considered entry level luxury. Some would not even call it luxury.

Well its very subjective but Id agree in the sense that they were mid when they were trying to climb to the likes of Omega (talking purely on price points), but recently like 3 years they have decided to aim lower as they find the other brands all jostling for higher spots leaving a less crowded entry level spot. This is smart in my opinion, as at entry level they are quite the king amongts Tissot, Longines etc. Tag always wanted to have a grip at entry level hence their Formula 1 range, some argue it brings them down the ranks. But I think its cool as that's their style - Avant Garde.

But who knows now with the brilliant Jean Claude Biver at the helm....interesting to see how it goes. Under him they made waves by releasing an affordable tourbillon. I love listening to that guy talk about watches.

Anyways I have a 20mm grey alphashark I'm looking to trade with someone or sell it! I am looking to trade it with a 20mm bond alphashark (or similar) strap. I Will be selling the strap at 28 bucks as condition is mint (almost new), wore the strap for less than 10 times.

Pm me if you're interested in trading/buying!

right now, he has a plan.
carrera will be his main line and start to branch out and develop other line.
cause carrera being the most profitable.
he also intend to reissue the heuer line.
for example, he did with the autavia. He's looking to create other likes of reissue such as the monaco etc. and he only wants to do 1 for each.

can watch the youtube here. he's a marketing genius. he made hublot what it is today.
