The Watch Thread - Part 3

[socketer]

i am seriously in love with the nomos. haha. but i think i am gonna get my pam first. I am looking into IWC XVII or Portuguese Automatic with blue hands.

But the Portuguese price range is on a different level. JLC master control also damn swee

white dial and blue hands is damn sexy. makes me drool whenever i see them.

closeup

the window is nicely beveled, so is the second sub-dial. nice details! The gold (colored) baton markers look nice with shadows on one side...

Wempe discount? How many %?

 

[patryn33]

visodate for daily wear so if knock still wont heart pain, NOMOS for dressy events.

NOMOS damn naise siah damn it i also bit tempted leh.....

Aiyoh it's a nomos not jlc, I wear mine daily to the office.
If one Works in a factory or out in construction site then I gather visodate is a poor choice.

different ppl got different "pain thresholds". so i was just suggesting what ppl could do if they have a visodate and not sure to get the NOMOS or not.

for me i dun really care oso, rotate my watches every week to avoid neglecting any of them.

 

[patryn33]

I only paid usd$1.5k for mine now it's priced usd$2.5k on watchbuy. 2 yrs price jump so fast.

At 27xx or usd$2.2k good deal that's usd$600 off or 22% off

different people have different financial standing in their lives. and even if the money they have are equal, they may perceive "value" differently.

to others, maybe a JLC reverso is no biggie also. in fact, JLC can be considered quite reasonably priced for their reverso as compared to AP RO

 

[patryn33]

U might as well use George Daniel watch as an example. AP RO to your group of folks also cheapo.

I get your pt but ppl going to Europe have the spare time hunt watch u think financial standing not there? Lol

U are right! Next owner don't think he can get it anytime soon. Lol still 1 yr old.

 

[whiteblackred]

i never said nor thought that "financial standing not there". in fact i said, even if the financial standing were similar, their perception of value can differ. just like how there are millionaires that wear a cheap (relative terms), digital watch.

 

[patryn33]

Perception is whole different thing nothing have to do with $$$. That's subjective, it's his watch not mine or yours. Don't lose sleep over it. Lol

 

[whiteblackred]

exactly. its subjective. so when the poster mentioned that vissodate is a daily beater while nomos is for dressy events. why would u need to say that "its just a nomos, not a JLC...."?

In all honestly, won't u find that kind of reply condescending? If someone had said that to you. (yes i know its not my biz to begin with, its between u and him).

And the very fact that "value" and perception are subjective, which is why i find the remark uncalled for, regardless of the initial poster's financial standing. thats all.

hope u dont mind my bluntness.

 

[patryn33]

U in sg?
It's not even btw him and me, it's his watch. His biz, u don't get it. Or late if u r in sg.
None of my biz or yours. If u in sg get some sleep lah.

Iirc ahboy82 isn't the one who got the watch, socketer did. Ahboy82 remark and my comment kept u awake?

Ouch, i never but I also send my watch for polishing. In this case, i Sent direct to richmont for servicing and polishing

 

[Azrielsc]

Ouch that hurts! What watch?

I would just hold on to it until it results in more scratches/dings before I send it in. I hear that after polishing, sharp lines are not as "sharp" as before as polishing will, of course, remove metal...

but 1 day old watch send for service abit bo hua, besides its only a ding on one of the lugs not the watch face or anything.
