The Watch Thread - Part 14

Thanks! It looks polished and sleek. Did you adjust the bracelet yourself or you got a neighbourhood watch shop to do it for you?

Not confident in adjusting the bracelet - also one of the reasons why I am hesitant to get the bracelet online.

From order to delivering, within 2 week. Here's mine from Strapcode, adjustment very easy. Quality wise is ok for 3rd party, can't compare with the original. So here goes mine

Adjust it myself. If noob like me can do it, so can you....(some words of encouragement).

The one I recommended comes with curve end links to fit your turtle swee swee. and is 22mm taper down to 18mm. There is also a super jubilee , oyster, engineer, etc .... Same quality, only different design.

Watches with curve end links, a little bit more tricky to have gain access to the spring bars. If u can get pass that, adjusting the links is no issue. U can easily get a set of this from local hardware shop for $4.99.

Alternatively, search for K2 phone number and give the most popular Seiko repair uncle Mr Goh a call whether he has stock for original bracelet to fit the turtle. If he has, he will do swee swee for u.

A H Moser limited edition watch:

https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/h-moser-swiss-icons-watch-introducing

It has the bezel of a GMT Master II shoehorned into a Royal Oak shape, a dial that's a mashup of Panerai and Patek (the Nautilus) a Hublot case, a Panerai-esque crown guard, and a tourbillon under a Girard-Perregaux type golden bridge

Also see how the fringe of the bezel resembles the traditional bottle cap

At first i thought the GP Lauretto abit overkill already. I take it back, this one more rojack. Hope SIHH doesn't disappoint

To be frank, I have a lot of respect for H Moser and the watches they produced. Their watches typically are minimalistic to the extreme, including the perpetuals. I love their design

Too bad they tend to be expensive, and there are a lot of options at those price points

網絡借圖的啦。。。不過！如果你要吃象圖中這樣，菜夠綠夠軟，蛋漿豐富，肉片夠厚，蝦仁夠鮮，河粉夠“鑊氣的黑”。。。聖喬治路，大牌3號咖啡店大排檔就有啦！！！下單后要等吼。。。。。。一般上大概20分鐘

It's meant to be a satirical watch, or a troll watch if I may use internet lingo.

In a perverse way, every feature incorporated is an indirect recognition of the brand, whether taken positively or negatively. E.g. You don't quite see FM or JLC features incorporated into this watch.

Personally I think the crown guard was already adequate to "represent" PAM and instead another brand could have been "incorporated" into the watch by way of dial markers.

If you can lock/unlock a screw, you can do the adjustment yourself!

Thank you for your reply!

I read from strapcode that the SRP777 is recommended for the 22mm bracelet. Does that mean that I shouldn't go for anything lower than that (e.g. 20mm or 18mm)?

How long did the shipment take for you?

Noted on the screwdrivers! I will have to go and find to see if I have any of that thinness!

The oyster series actually look similar to the endmill series that jonleelk recommended. Is there a difference in the quality?

I just fitted my Blumo with the super engineer ii bracelet. There is a certain heft to it and feels very well made. The adjustment is very easy, one of the easiest I have experienced. There are no internal pins, the screw and the pin is a single piece, so you are not likely to lose them (not sure if it applies to all their bracelets tho).

I would recommend to get a Wiha 1.5mm screwdriver if you can. Very useful if you need to resize bracelets.

I am disappointed they did not troll in a more tasteful way, i thought the swiss alp & zzzz watch is really well done.
The Swiss cheese one might be a bit out there but still look good.

report no use.

AD did sell at retail - but they choose customers to sell.
How to be on their radar?
support them, buy from them.

if you walk in, why should the AD sell you, when they have ready cash VIP customers willing to pay full retail for it?
And why sell to ready cash VIP? because these VIP bring business to them.
They recommend people to the AD, they legit buy quite alot from the AD.
it's just simple logic. Relationship sales.

Unless, none of their VIP wants it, then they will call those on the list or put it on display, u see it, you heng. you don't, LLST.

unless the AD satki, they rather not sell to walk in, lun and undertable sell to grey dealer or tiong customers.

nowadays, even GMT Master 116710LN also bo discount. there's one at peoples park complex AD, the one nearer to the toilet. happened to see it today.
