The Watch Thread - Part 13

[Seannie]

U already have a tudor.

Maybe can venture out.

Since u appeared to be quite small risk appetite maybe can consider an evergreen omega speedmaster

Haha yalor. I learn from warren buffet. If i like something and its good i always return for same thing one. Lol. Loyal type.

The strap is actually an Everest steel end link, not bad but quite pricy

I think fully integrated nicer. Haha
All these rubber strap overpriced like mad.

 

[sleepyman]

What a nice 1016! The ageing is very strong without any damages. Is this a new purchase? Do you know the year of manufacture?

Wow bro.. you are sharp!
Gloss-Gilt CR 1016
Gilt hands and tropical dial
Something that few can understand...

Its serial is 901xxx circa 1963..
Case is still amazing without rust nor pitting over 54 years!
Dial is aged, but still glossy.

"New" love!

Guys, tudor new models are getting interesting. Need your opinions.

Or

两款都还没推出市场，价格差距大不大还没人知道。现在就开始问，实在难回答你啦。
但是如果你走入錶鋪看看现有的黑面款，style与bb的差距＂不是＂大得明显。。。相差不到1000。聚焦机芯的錶友，也许肯花多几百买自家芯款试试。保守的就會趋向2824为底的style。

I must say I really don't get vintage. It's like paying more money for old things that don't work as well and are a huge hassle to maintain. If it's a family heirloom, fine. But it's someone else's story so the sense of history claimed is as faux as faux vintage lume. Maybe I can understand iconic models, that did firsts in whatever field they broke into, ok then you are respecting the history or lineage. This goes for bags, cars etc, not just watches.

Just a random thought. But that's just me la. Not trying to shove my opinion down someone else's throat by making the point repeatedly.

Thanks. May get the black bay steel. I think about $5k+. Rugged beauty with date window and in house movement.

 

[rachdanon]

Agree. My wife has never agreed to me getting an sbdx017.

She relented after I showed her cichlid''s pic.

Cute la you both... relatively small ticket item for you and need wife permission. I know what you mean...

Same here... never know the draw to vintage.

The bright blue everest band is sex with the DSD

 

[AyuReady]

Think is like 独孤求败

reach the 无敌是寂寞 phase then u nothing to play liao so go vintage

For people like me where modern piece also not enuff money to play, vintage really not in the scope

[info_guy]

to keep the line alive. so in any case, they can simply relaunch.
it's like apple still trying to sell iMac when they clearly know everyone is buying the macbook pro series and hooking up the monitor.

5164 travel time is my new grail, super sex.

E imac at least had a following before. I don't think the 24 series appeals to anyone even before. It just looks awkward.



Anyway I hope they have it stock in Bangkok/singapore and they don't force me to buy in bundles

Not really to that level, one RM still can pwn many vintage, unless you have the crown vintage. But don't think anyone here reach that standard tbh..

 

[cyrenic]

Haven't wore the Urchin for a long time

I miss my urchin..

But at least have my tuna for company.

Seiko lovers = little mermaid, got so many seafood for company.

Just something for different lor.
And it still works after so many years.
Maybe that's what draw them to it.

Actually not true leh. RM don't require research. Buy and go.
Ppl buy vintage requires knowledge and research.
Which makes it more fun.
Sometimes it's not just about money.
It's finding something others can't find.

That kind of thing intangibles.
