The Watch Thread - Part 3

[dmitri]

hi, noob question. i was told by the person at hour glass that the bracelet links are already at the minimum i.e. cannot adjust smaller. is it true? becos i could use one less link for my bracelet.

That is possible if all the removable links have been removed. At that point, chance is you can only depend on the micro-adjustment, if any is available.

Does anyone know where to get good deal for Mido watches in SG?

U didn't know prices are controlled if u walk into a AD, good deal really depends on the sales person.

it looks way better in pics than IRL

was really disappted when i saw it in the store

That was my reaction too. And all those stupid words are a big drawback too --- do you really need them to tell you that that big rectangular hole in the face is the PANORAMADATUM? It could have been nice but it's a design fail.

 

[docomospur]

yours looks like. is it a old version?

mine.

The one in KohChris' photo looks like a fake.

Hi guys,

What do you think of the Sinn 556 promo @ $990 which is value for money for a daily beater. What is the usual STREET price? Is 38.5mm dial too small. My current watch is 40mm and I think it's just nice but could be bigger.

Comments. Thanks

It's a very nice watch with a clean simple dial and I think it's value for money right now with the promo. Unless it's a dive watch, 38.5mm is fine for 6.5" and smaller wrist.

the PanoInverse is nicer...
actually i really like the Seventies

Anybody knows the retail price and the discount for the Omega Seamaster 300M Chronometer in both 36mm and 41mm?

Standard discount for omega is 8% at the usual shops like hour glass. But if you try hard enough, the SA can give higher discounts or more than 10%.

I think the higher model is 856 right, with 40mm and the case made with TEGIMENT. Not sure anyone knows the going rate for the Sinn 856?

Tks

 

[noobzpro]

Yup, but the 856 has a slanted date which some may find it awkward.

So the normal price in SG for the 556 is ~$1650. Normally THG 30% is 1155. So for the UOB is another $160 discount and can installment also.

Pelagos looks better with bracelet compared to Blackbay. Blackbay is nice with the antique leather strap.
