The Watch Thread - Part 14

Feel like getting the 2018 Cartier Santos with bracelet model

Seems good as a dress watch

Slim profile.. classic design, Roman numerals

In a poetic turn of events, I just arrived home and unboxed this absolute stunner of a Seiko Presage at 12:01AM Saturday. That AP-esque "Petite Tapisserie" dial, those angular lugs, and a most luscious bracelet. Yes, I'm aware of the "poor man's APRO" jibes I might receive, but who cares when I'm having so much fun? Gonna get the bracelet sized asap. One my best Seiko Saturdays ever!

p.s: Shout-out to Snowver for not only being my Ball Trainmaster bro, but for this Seiko "AP" one as well!

Anyone interested in a 1 week plus old LNIB explorer 1? I’m thinking of upgrading to explorer 2 cause of the date.

Shipping to Singapore is 2,000baht (approx. $80). Took 4 days to arrive.

At first I was skeptical, with the source being Thailand and all, but decided to take the risk as I've searched locally and most online sources to no avail. Bodying SG is charging $900+ and another Swedish source is asking for $400 just for shipping

Sounds fishy, is it genuine and how do you verify it is?

Very rare to see fake Seiko la

I'm no expert, but I got the SARX045 last week and this SRP467J is identical to it in terms of finishing. The winding is also similar for both.

If really want peace of mind I can bring it down to K2 to let Uncle Goh check haha

Thanks your sharing your experience, by the way, do the links pull your wrist hair by accident and does it have much play? I know some bracelets have this characteristic.

Happy to share! I almost never have the problem because I don't have much arm hair to begin with haha..not much bracelet play for this piece too as I like it fitting (for all my straps and bracelets actually). I gotta say, in terms of aesthetics, this is my favourite bracelet so far..I really dig that H-link style blocky look. Yes, I like the look even better than the Rolex oyster bracelet. Quality and solid feel-wise, of course few come close to the Oyster.

Bigeye is so handsome! But looking at how looks on your huge wrist, I think it will be too big for me

I think the height is more of a deal-breaker than the overall size. Would be better if it was slimmer. But hey, most chronographs aren't known for their slim profiles so can't complain much.

I tried it on at the Longines boutique at Marina Square and they have it at All Watches at Wisma too..for all you know, you might find the size ok!

that seiko looks sick for 400 bucks.

haha gxgx!

 

[gaoxing84]

new tropic strap from uncle seiko. this is the v2, more flexible and malleable rubber compare to the v1.
