The Watch Thread - Part 3

[thechew]

I thgt that watch Socketer own is a Nomos Orion?

Oppps... my bad! Its an Orion after i took a 2nd look. I blame it on my desire for the Tangente...

ooh. thanks for identifying the watch!

To all those thinking about buying Visodate from online grey dealers:

Fake Tissot Visodate?

The fake looks real enough, until you scrutinise the details: the font of the day and date wheels is different from the real thing, and other irregularities. Sad to think that there are fake Visodates out there...

Both also nice!! But Nomos' movement is considered to be in-house, while the Stowa is powered by ETA (both apparently is based on the Peseux 7001). .

Stowa is using unmod movement, nomos did a lot of mod u cannot use 7001 parts on nomos.

This is a very nice watch. I didnt like nomos for their very angular lugs but this looks to have some curves. May I know what model is this?

Setting your life priorities right is more important, like paying off your home loan, etc.
What's the point of having a Patek when you are still deep in loan! Am I right?

Im the poorest among here. I dont even have a watch yet. The one i see that is affordable is only the visodate at $690. I have a credit card but every month half of my salary goes to feed the card, i hardly have any money in my bank, am i considered pathetic or a failure considering im nearing 40? :'( I dont know what life priorities are anymore, home loan forever paying dont seem to see any end. Boss scolds me everyday at work. And i feel damn lousy. Will getting myself a watch make me happier in life?

Can PM me those trustworthy website to order watch?
I am poisoned....want to get the momos or some brand with in-house movement.
Seems like watch brand with in-house movements are the ones worthbp buying to keep.

 

[patryn33]

In house movement - not stowa, only place to get them is stowa.com
Nomos only can get on their online store - NOMOS im Netz: Tangente, Orion, Ludwig, Tetra, Club, Tangomat und Zürich - aus Glashütte in die Welt.
U can order Dornblueth & Sohn direct from D.Dornblüth & Sohn » Intro, much like nomos it's considered inhouse.
Rgm does inhouse mvt too, can order direct thru RGM Watch Company

No need to get from your so called trustworthy site.

Quitting and finding a new job would, spending money on watch f NO. This also need to ask, some more 40 already empty inside??? Tell that to your so only asking for a beating only.
Donate and help the true needy would too.

Be contend with what u have now. There are a lot of pple in worst situation than u. Some already a bankrupt in their 30s. Ask yourself, Do u NEED the watch or u just WANT the watch?

Yes, 40 & still useless, if thats what you mean. If i have a way, i wouldnt even ask. Maybe a watch may temporarily bring the pain away? No? If watch cant make a man happy, then what is the use of getting it just to tell time.

possibly im just trying to see if getting a watch can bring some joy to my unhappy life, and whether it can give me a little bit of dignity & direction which i have lost in life. Nope, i dont need a watch just to tell the time. Im quite sure people wont be looking at my hand most of the time & honestly im sure they cant be bothered what's on my hand, just the same way i cant be bothered. Watch or no watch on hand dont seem make physical difference. Just wondering does wearing watch would give a mental or physological booster? Just like effects of good coffee?

i am kaypo n wondering how come you got so much to pay in your credit card every month?
Is it due to house those furniture etc?

It's an Orion. The applied markers does not quite work for me - prefers the Tangente. But the Orion has a very nice curvy and shapey back.
