The Watch Thread - Part 14

should be like this right?

Yep should be this suede box

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...

Maybe you need to sell 1 kidney and half a liver since both are very different in their own ways

Can pm how much you buy? Was at amk hub and the sales assistant from discount 15% off retail increase till 25% off retail. ($468)

Price should be not bad right? Might go get it tmr if it’s still there.

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

Indeed, both could not be more different; 'sport' and 'dress', integrated bracelet, "claw" lugs, date and triple calendar, automatic movement and manual winding.. the list goes on.

I am interested in the direction that VC is going, such as drawing more interest from the younger watch collectors. However, I do have my reservations on the 'FiftySix' collections, but will keep on open-mind until I see it in March/April.

Today I learnt that you can sell/donate half a liver and as the liver possesses a remarkable capacity to regenerate, it can regenerate back to its full size.

That's why I say sell half a liver

Interesting. Went to read up on the 56 collections. Seems to be keeping a classic look at lower price. Would appeal to those who are drawn to the likes of the datejust. The base model is probably the lowest priced watch in the market with a gold rotor. Obviously extending their reach into Rolex territory with this.

By the way guys, what do you think of Panerai's carbontech or ceramica cases?

Basically everyone is moving to alternative materials with advancement in precision manufacturing technology - usually carbon fibre and ceramics. Personally I prefer some bling which these 2 materials lack. Also, polished ceramic looks plasticky to me. They cost more though.

That's true.

Panerai L’Astronomo and Lo Scienziato

Back to the initial question, i was asking because these variants are hardly discussed by many in different forums. So was kinda curious

Hi, anyone knows what is a good price to buy Grand Seiko Spring Drive SBGA011 "Snowflake" at?

 

[Ed.YEO]

這新一代的 美都 海洋之星 設計不錯吧？

以粉金錶殼的配置來説，價格上打了折扣，比 梅花 大海探險家 來得有些競爭力。

但是根據錶鋪經理暗示，這系列賣得比較好的卻不是粉金錶殼款的。。。
而是衍生的其它色系與配置。咧如鈦金屬錶殼錶帶款式的，還有半金款的，
都銷售得比較好。

價格上的競爭力，
促使我忍不住射出2018的第一炮。。。“貴款”潛水錶。
打下這隻粉金款的 海洋之星！

就在付款后，調整錶帶長度時我才發覺，原來這款“難賣”的原因在哪裏
。。。就在原配的樹膠錶帶！要換皮帶不容易，換其它材質的錶帶也不簡單。。。。
因爲錶帶夾扣的設計也太長了！要不就犧牲樹膠錶帶的幾節，不然就是整個錶帶夾扣不能重用。
在這樣的情況下“付加”在錶扣上的“成本”不就浪費了？？？

於是我先不調錶帶，領回家慢慢研究有何對策可以既是不必“剪帶”也不必“犧牲錶扣”
這一研究就花了我。。。兩個星期才領悟！！！折中的方法就是。。。小小“移開成本”！
將。。。微調潛水扣。。。整個拿掉，鍍黑網狀鋼帶就能放進錶扣了！！！

要花兩個星期才領悟，實在。。。沒效率！

The Jaeger-LeCoultre On Your Wrist app might be one way to try on different JLC watches, but I'm not sure if my phone is having problems

Spoiler

In all honesty, I feel that it's a innovative approach by JLC to let people try on new releases, like the ones introduced at SIHH 2018, to gauge their interest before the pieces arrive at the boutiques and ADs.

Maybe Rolex will introduce their own app at Baselworld so people can 'wear' an augmented Daytona and make the waiting time more tolerable.
