The Watch Thread - Part 3

[Seannie]

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?

no la, bro, only for recent months. By the way, just in case you dont know how poor i am, im earning peanuts, so half of my salary may seem alot but in fact, not that much in absolute dollars. I think my salary could just be the amount that people use to pay off their credit cards every month! Recently, purchase a diamond ring almost 6k (insisted by SO), stay at RWS, proposal stuff etc, and also bought myself a DW shoe and a number of accessories, including wasting almost 2k on something useless. Using ocbc cashflo card pay in 3 instalments, anyway my debt gg to end soon. Hopefully my boss would stop disturbing me and work can go slower a bit let me breathe else i dont think i can stop the temptation to spend more $

Please sont remind me of house those furniture. Those will be coming soon. Next to crack my head on will be the marriage costs which will wipe my entire ass off. And looking at my colea who is earning heaps in shares just make me feel more depressed.

If people say i should just be contented, i guess im just better than those living under hdb void decks. I admit i have my own roof, able to feed myself 3 meals without a problem. But if you stretch longer than that, no, i will not be able to survive without a job for long.

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?

only their Tangente lineup have the angular lugs iirc

Nomos tend to have characteristically long lugs, its general small diameters (<38mm) can be deceiving especially to those who started out owning divers.

your 40mm diver has only a ~34mm face after subtracting the 2-3mm width bezel, compared to a 38mm all face


D. Dornblüth & Sohn makes some sweet Marine style (eg stowa marine) watches too. most calibres are based off Unitas.
pricey, but considering the lack of robots they use and elbow grease involved.

my hands got itchy n i ordered a Stowa Antea 390 A10 last night....

I wonder when Stowa will use this A10 movement on their Flieger series? Gotta shoot them am email and find out.

In the low $7000. Way above my initial budget ... but I just gotta have this

 

[Samfreak]

I like the Zenith for the retro looks.
if you are going for the Zenith, it's in house movement, servicing wont be cheap.
But if you can afford the Zenith, I'll advice you to go for the JLC Master Control. It's easily a notch above the 3 brands you listed. JLC used to make movements for Patek, VC, AP, etc.

How can I forget ... a special thank you to flame2000 who pointed me to this watch ... complicated matters ... and made me much poorer

 

[Dmaul77]

Very nice ... good buy ... what's the size of the JLC?

Cheers

Haha, this a a very addictive forum. I often see a lot of watches that I like too, but limited budget.
Someday, I gotta pick up this JLC. Enjoy your new watch!

Cheers

It's the newer version in 39mm with dauphine hands.
The old one is 40mm.

Visodate can fight JLC in terms of design

Just that jlc got sunburst dial, but the jlc oso bo contrast one...silver on grey dial
