I see a daytonaC in your future

White Daytona C is my grail too! On a 2-year wait list lmao.

I like the interaction process of winding it and all but I think we agree the process is tedious if u have to switch watches everyday and set the date

That's why I only change watch weekly. Don't use winder and it be comes tedious.

 

[razoreigns]

Very nice. But don't sell mm300 for this.

Tempting but I always feel uneasy with kickstarter projects.

You getting one?

Well lets see how. My previous experience with a KS tech gadget wasn't good either. I supported a portable coffee machine on KS. It was fully funded close to 300% but the owner decided to cancel the whole campaign and refund all the money back, citing mfg issues...

I will go back home tonight and let my crazy nerves settle down a little bit and then re visit this KS tomorrow. if the urge is still there then I will support one.

Even the ever popular Pebble did their refund for their final campaign! Nothing is certain. I have stuff which only delivered after 2 years. Some ran away with my money.

 

[Henabi]

That's true slow_mo
it's a crowd funding platform to support innovations and ideas.

I still remember your pebble case. And gosh! So fast 2 years just flew by us lolx

A few rotten eggs is bound to be there
It's a gamble when u shop online may it be KS, or eBay or taobao

Question : In sg context, would wearing a solid gold (eg Rolex or AP) watch for daily office wear be weird? Seen anyone do that? Could be leather strap if bracelet is too bling..

Or would it be more for special occasions which for most of us would be like maybe 3 times a year.

 

[patryn33]

There are quite a few other brands that are cheaper than nomos and all comes with the Brauhaus design. Rodina with a seagull movement, Brathwait with a swiss movement, Junghans Max bill with a German movement, and the Zeno Basel with a swiss movement, The Tsovet brauhaus, Linjer. All from $300 to $1200.

Would go with the Brathwait. Especially the one with the swiss automatic movement. Made in Swiss too. And easy for watch maker to service the movement.

Junghans iirc all using ETA or SW

I see.but what are the difference between made in Japan and made in other places?

Also is it better to get with local warranty or international?

Seiko keeps their best watches for their domestic market.

I have a Seiko JDM, the quality is pretty amazing. Just go for the JDM models. The SARX033/035 are reputed to be mini grand seikos in terms of build and finishing.
