The Watch Thread - Part 15

[nightawl]

I love shell. Shell wallet, key pouch, belt, shoes, and 4 watch straps (2 #8, 1 whisky and 1 navy).

Just curious, where did you get the straps from and how much did you pay for it?

 

[Kyo_kusanagi86]

Undecided on which one to wear today. These are the only watches I was on the waiting list. �

This is why, girls don't get it on our watch choices.

I showed my partner my Rolex Exp II and Daytona (both Black dial), and the response is identical.

My bad, searched Carousell and found only the 800SGD one. But when I'd previously searched via 'Google', found a few at 550SGD and below, but these are older listings and prolly gone by now.

Vintage Sunday watch.....yes, I lao liao. I also have rather small wrist, that's why I cannot consider watches more than 36mm width....

The Ultraman is really nice. Meticulous attention to detail. It's too "precious" for me to wear outside and the missus won't tolerate any unworn watch lying about the house though. So...keep or flip?

Actually it requires some finesse in adjusting Seiko collar and pin bracelets. Especially those with the “side” collar.

I think most people should be able to handle la..

I mean, I myself am definitely not the best at such things also can handle.. So far only lost one collar when I first started out.

Anyways, my thinking was, definitely going to try a lot of watches.. Better to learn early, if not everytime have to mar fun go to shop if buy second hand, etc. Might also have to pay $.

My statement still stands as it’s not really that easy but I agree that we must try by ourselves. Not easy initially, but should get the hang of it after 1 or 2 tries. Go search some YouTube videos for guidance.

My first adjustment of Seiko turtle bracelet took as much time as a turtle running a 100 m. I’ve never lose any parts yet (cross fingers).

Hands on for adjustment of bracelet and changing of straps / bracelets should be a part of watch collection. This will open up a whole new world of changing different straps to suit different moods and occasions.

Modifying watches however will be another level (not for me).

I think modifying watches got less room for error haha..

I got no patience.

The best part is Seiko got different variations of pin and collar.. Some is drop in the collar one side, some is need to push in both sides.. The push in both sides one is the worst.

Yes that will be last resort coz the YT vid I saw really complicated things more for me..the sedc035 got some ball bearings at link...

Any place besides Ubi I should try to get my strap link extended?

That's actually more commonly seen in Casio bracelets.. Not a ball bearing. It's a notch to push the link's pin (or rather, a slab) out.

Not that hard, most watch shop should be able to do it simply for you. To be honest, just need a small screwdriver (if you're worried about scratches, just tape it to blunt the tool) to push out the link and a small hammer if the link doesn't slide smoothly back in.

If you're very worried about skills, then just go Mr Goh K2, but doesn't mean it will always be perfect.. No one's perfect.

Anyone knows Ap royal oak servicing price? Trying to restore the scratches on the face of the watch, gonna restore it soon
