The Watch Thread - Part 16

[gaoxing84]

Tudor owner fall into one of these categories

1. Actually a rolex owner but scared rolex get scratches if use as daily/ or kana robbed when driving in malaysia
2. Like old rolex watches and vintage watches in general but cannot get their vintage watch releases hence tudor releases like black bay, heritage chrono and p01 will satisfy vintage craving
3. Potential rolex owner
4. Someone who has also seriously considered omega watches
5. Someone who bo pian end up with a tudor because want to move up the queue for rolex

= tudor owner = someone who believe they bought a lexus with toyota budget (but this lexus still without lexus features)

so in what way are they WIS Tier? eventually will buy rolex then downgrade ?

lol your theory cmi

Hi all, I've more or less decided on the Omega moonwatch, only thing that its a manual winding watch. In your experience, is that an issue? I really don't like the idea of winding a watch every other day, but i like the look of the moonwatch though.

Also, the omega official boutique is retailing the watch at $7300, any other reliable shops retail it at cheaper price? Normally the official shop sells it at more exp price right?

retail price is same across the boutique and all authorized dealers.

discount % is based on your affinity and your negotiation with them, usually AD will give higher % over boutique.

i dont really find manual winding is an issue for me unless u have only one watch which u find is a hassle to keep winding everyday.

if u rotate watches, u still have to wind abit everyday especially those with dates one.

**** IT staff = oris rado longines

**** wear garbage that look very complicated but is just garbage. Not saying that about Oris, Rado or Longines though. I have never seen **** wear these brands.

You don't need a lot of time to wind a watch with no date, moonphase, day, month and leap year. Max 1 to 2 min?

If you want it new, ask your AD for discount. I don't know if there is any discount but no harm asking. Congrats in advance for your new speedy.

Hi to all, what do you think of the new seiko srpe03 king turtle?

Seems like a good bargain given the fact that it comes with ceramic bezel and sapphire crystal. Thinking of getting one to wear daily with little care needed.

Will be my first seiko heheh

Per bluerare, that will make u a jiuhu office worker.

Jokes aside, can’t go wrong with seiko divers for robustness and adequate time keeping..

model wise is down to your personal preference on the look and budget of cos. espec turtle, tuna, some like, some don’t.

Hahaha. Thanks. At price point of $650+/-, seems quite worth it for a ‘cheap’ but quality watch. Value for money could be the right description ba. Have a great day everyone
