Staring at this screen for 5 days, TGIF. Had this for 6 years, my staple for weekdays. Not many Tag Heuers here.

戴好嘢 不多因為不值得買。就有如 浪琴，采用一般機芯，廣告打得够力够力，再将廣告成本加在消费者身上。。。這樣的錶款。。。我是肯定不會買啦！

Hiyah last time never think too much. Watch is emotional puchase, if everyone think like you only in monetary terms, then buy a simple digital casio most value for money..

But seriously, in-house vs non in-house is much less a case of capability but simple supply and economics. With the cease in swatch supplying, manufacturers simoly become in-house. There is a lot of expertise to go around. No sweat really to make in-house movements. It is the new norm. Panerai for example this year became fully in-house , thus including their entry level pieces. So what is he definition of an "ordinary" movement ? The in-house snobbery should end soon.....

Been looking at a few watches recently, really like the Royal Oak 'Jumbo' 15202ST (in steel, not yellow gold as seen below), but I found the Vacheron Constantin 1942 (Historiques Triple Calendrier) really interesting as well.

Priced at $31,800 for the 15202ST.

Priced at $28,600 for the VC 1942.

Both are priced rather close, but ultimately...

Buy what brings you most joy when its on your wrist for the least amount of money, makes sense? luxury watches is buying emotion. If you think of value, dont buy...waste of money. Invest the money is the best.

Green is good for your eyes!

As long as don’t see until face green green!

Buy what you like lor. If cannot decide, just buy a bag for your wife and save the rest of the money! That should be sexciting! Jokes aside...

Did you try both watches on your wrist? Which one do you like more?

Very different looking watches, with the VC having a classic/antiquated look and the AP sportier more modern. If you really like both, looks like you need to get both..well at least you woud have completed 2/3 of the trinity

You're on the international piece. The SSA361.

The box should be bigger though.

should be like this right?
