The Watch Thread - Part 14

[indigo22]

just met a "fellow" enthusiast on carousell. drop me a pm and ask what's the movement does SBDC053 uses, replied 6R15 which he could have easily googled given the reference/model number is on the listing.

replied thank you and i asked am i your google search engine? then starts to ramble about being not helpful to a fellow enthusiast and i am business driven.

god damn it, why is it so hard to google a simple basic spec of a watch?

if you ask me, maybe what's the beat rate or more in depth questions, maybe i could help you out of course with you showing interest in getting the watch. but no.

expect people to spoon feed as if it should given, self entitled prick. 16 years of basic education has taught him nothing.

ok end of rant.

if you're the prick here, too bad. learn something about googling for info. this is the 21st century where internet and information are readily available right at your fingertips.
if you don't have fingers, use siri, just speak to it.

what grade of material is used for the bracelet?

i mean u can ask me if you're really interested. but he really took me for an idiot and used me like tissue

hahahaha some will ask ask ask then say oh i won't buy anytime soon. lol
they take carousell like AD, can ask song

Let me know the name so I can block? The less jokers can pm me on postings the better.

Came across the limited Seiko Green Turtle but just no feel for it even though price is quite attractive lol. The blue shroud just doesnt match the green dial IMO

wow! saga brewing over at SG-ROC FB group

monster time was accused of selling franken vintage speedmaster, claiming its 100% original.
was sold at 28k i think. it's a CK2998 with franken parts from different period.

damn shady. those in the group can go see the saga.

they were accused of selling franken vintage rolex as well, claiming as 100% original.

Seiko Recraft series

 

[lyrrom]

anyone here with any prior experience with visiotime before?

Sent from Samsung SM-G930F using GAGT

 

[jonleelk]

Interesting you did not mention I believe the most pricey of them - the Carrera Day-date and Tudor.

While, those 2, and the remaining, are "in between" "most and least wrist times".

 

[springonion]

Released to US market only???

Quite long didn't wear the Sub, so put it on today.
And removed the final piece of plastic that was still clinging to 1 of the crown guards.

Hi pwillie, thanks for your reply. Do you know if anyone locally can service the Vaucher movement used in the Aquadive 500, or it has to be sent back to Aquadive HQ? Thank you!

Excellent review by Jian ming on the Franken speedy... Instead of rebuttal on jm points, monster time is threatening legal actions. Will be interesting to follow

I think if one is into vintage and spending that amount of money, he owes himself the favour to do his due diligence BEFORE making the purchase.

IMHO, I would think it doesn't make sense for any physical shop to risk their reputation for small gains and more likely that they were not experienced enough to have spotted the issues.

Give you inspiration. This one is Hirsch duke.
