Just to make a decision, will you guys choose a BB58 over a Speedmaster or vice versa? Having dilemma of which to keep/get, any help? Thanks!

 

[Min Min]

OT, where can I sell my AP for a reasonable price in SG? Like you guys have a reliable second hand dealer to recommend?

Sort of , dial was replaced , still there are dust particles that I just ignored.

got a phobia of sending watches in for servicing now . Who knows what might happen

In my scenario because speedy was my first luxury watch. Harder to let go.
If price driven. Likely omega has to go

but if I have a diver or Rollie. The Tudor will surely go

nice problem to have nonetheless

 

[Kyo_kusanagi86]

So u would actually go and resolve it ? Not afraid that once they open the watch , more dust particles might enter ? Heck they might even scratch the dial .

this was exactly what happen to my watch

Yeah... imagine, getting the watch from the AD a day before, then straight to the RSC to remove the dust.

Scratch likely near the lugs but no choice bah.. dial scratch I dont think so... they no need to remove the hands... just de-case the watch movement and use a blower and fit it back in.

No such thing . Once goods sold are not refundable.

the best AD can do is help u send to service centre

I dilemma because it’s automatic vs manual winding and I’ve read that winding is quite tedious for the speedy. And the WR rating is another problem. Shag.

For me is bb58

Why so bro? Any reasoning? Happy to hear from your perspective.

Quartz watches most likely will not.
