Did you read the post I was referring to?

Someone made a post comparing cyrenic's watch to the stock image of a modern ceramic sub. The insinuation was that something wasn't right with cyrenic's piece as it was different from said stock image.

I brought you up because you clearly have a more than respectable vintage collection. My case in point was that a product manufactured in the 70's, 80's or 90's would look different than one produced in today's standards. I found it hilarious that the original poster seemed to have this idea that a product could only have one possible reference, and tried to apply the same logic to different things, like Windows and iPhones.

Haha I think sleepyman read wrongly.
All good haha. Sleepyman protective of his vintages.

I had nothing to do with you before that post.
I learnt that we r all here to share the passion of watches, you might not like the watches i have, but cmon, why stir from nothing?




Certainly i take it as an offence bro, i have pride of what i own.
Made from rural china and now fake iphone?

You have old rolex cases with modern movement and crystal.

Recently vintage pieces like this 4 digit rolexes are on the rise.

Too chor on the wallet.

Just wanna ask if I were to invest for a mid range price watch, would Tag Heuer or Omega be a better choice? Currently looking at Omega Seamaster Coaxial and Tag Heuer Aqua racer models.
