The Watch Thread - Part 13

[patryn33]

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

I don't belong in this club. I don't even mind setting date on nomos

White gold is fine. Yellow if you are really baller haha. Old ppl also no problem i think. Just my 2 cents.

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.

A couple of old uncles in my office are wearing gold watches.

The youngsters are all on steel. Depend on your taste

I'd never touch a full solid gold watch case with gold bracelet with a ten feet pole. It's just too "look at me". That is why u hardly see one designed or paired that way. Even gold case + white gold bracelet / leather is still mehhh.

Rose gold on the other hand is totally different.

Different people different style but all are watch lovers at heart

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

I think the problem is that there is no certainty because e product is not mass produced yet.

Anyway I've heard mostly negative stuffs about KS or indiegogo and e likes.

If I buy gold. I wear it.
Lol. Who cares what ppl think. If buy and 1 year wear 2-3 times.
I might as well buy a few stainless and wear them.

Wanna be understated yet Satki. Buy vintage. Under the radar.
Ppl who know will know what's up.

Yeah its still out of place hor in Sg....

I see youngsters wearing gold dress watches type... like the calatrava or patrimony style. But yeah since the age of the Rolex sub and Royal oak steel still steals the show.. haha

I was thinking rose gold in actual fact. Something about rose gold draws me to it.
Something like this is rather subtle dont you think?

Agree white gold like undercut oneself...pay so much and looks like steel.

watchco seamasters are assembled from actual NOS omega service parts to resemble a vintage SM300
Price is much lesser than an actual vintage, but you get a "new" vintage watch
Purists will kpkb that it is not an officially released watch by Omega
