Thinking of hooting a new starter watch for my collection. Wanna build a watch collection as I advance in my career hahaha.

Am looking at Fossil's Grant Automatic Leather watch. Have a thing for "skeleton" watches but I don't wanna limit myself to just Fossil.

Any experts here can advise similar watches?

Depending on your budget, for that kind of price just top up a little or less, you can get a better real watch, not just some fancy fashion one.

If you still really looking into good "skeleton" watch, try look for used Hamilton Jazzmaster Viewmatic skeleton, they sometimes pop up in carousell.

Personal opinion, no offense intended though

Thanks bro. So u mean u prefer the blue dial fluted bezel steel and whitegold model? How about compared to the blue sub? Which one will u get if only choose one?

Thanks for opinions. Appreciated.

For me, I would get the 36mm datejust. If you want it dressy. Change to diamond markers and jubilee bracelet.

The two tone sub is also nice but your Tudor design is already similar.

My tudor bracelet just got scratched. At the top corner. Is this considered minor scratch? Wat should i do about it?!

Should i send back to RSC to polish? Only one year of daily wearing.

I'm surprised you are this careless. Just leave it and be more carful next time.

Skip ahead to below for pics.

TLDR version, consolidate 3 watches into one. Learnt that you cannot get another watch as a substitute for the one you really really want...


So i finally bit the bullet and did some watch consolidation to get the watch that i have been lusting after all these years - the sub c 114060 no date.

Traded in 3 watches ( Rolex airking, Tag Heuer Aquaracer and Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra quartz) at one of the second hand watch shop at city plaza for a total of 5.5k.

Topped up 2.8k for the subc ( 2015 year with card only no box, still under warranty) the tag and the omega trade in value was bad but still since i dont wear these watches anymore its better to let them go.

Thinking back in mid 2014 when i was first got into watches, should have just gotten the sub. The irony is i didnt want to spend so much money on a watch with the notion that the sub was too common.. in the end after going one huge circle, the amount spent on watches far exceeded what i what have incurred if i had just gone for the sub in the first place.

Bought and sold tudor blackbay 3 times thinking they could be a substitute for the sub but while initially the sub lust was quelled, eventually after sometime it surfaced again.
somehow that didnt work out cos i found the bracelet not as comfortable as the subs and the watch was heavier. ( They are great watches no doubt just that it couldnt suppress the sub lust)

All of the watches below now sold.

Grand Seiko Spring drive SBGA095 - Tudor black bay blue ( Rose logo)- Tudor black bay Noir ( Rose logo)- Tudor North flag- Rolex Explorer 214270- Tudor black bay noir ( rose logo again) -Omega Seamaster aqua terra Quartz, tag heuer Aquaracer , Rolex airking 114200

One huge circle and so much money gone that could have been saved. But I finally got the grail that i really wanted all these time so yeah guess its worth it like after so much effort spent to get it. Will stay away from watches for a while.
