The Watch Thread - Part 3

[javincho]

anyone find that the visodate looks really small on the wrist?more like a girl's watch to me but it is indeed nice especially with gold rim

Visodate at 40mm is in fact acceptable and resonable size. Some classic watches are much smaller at 36mm.

FYI, Rolex air-king is 34m is still in production and yet male adults are buying it.

Hi guys, i'm too interested in tissot visodate and will like to know if is possible to change the brown leather strap to black leather for the white dial model?

Jus check the lug size prior purchase and should fit it well with black strap.... pls try it on and let us know your feel....

 

[javincho]

[javincho]

Oh Oh...Ace Jewellers isit? But you bought the black faced one?Cos thats the only one listed on their website

As long as u feel comfortable buying online, pls go ahead....
Hope u got good deal and service.

how do u guys make online purchase overseas without worrying?

1st concern, if watch has any defects, it will be troublesome to sent it back, n risk more defects?

2nd concern, servicing of watch in future, will have to send it back overseas, risking defects n damages?


maybe its me, but i prefer to inspect n look at the watch before making my purchase n make sure there is a authorised service centre.

Let the service center handle obvious defects.

Only need to be aware of possible comestic/surface damage.

Even if thats the case, the visodate can be self polished

Wanted to get in spain last mth for around 500 plus but pulled back after realize it's getting too common lol.

U should buy 1. Can wear to places/events where it can get scratched easily and not feel heartpain abt it

Visodate is not common like the sinn u1 lol

I tot of doing that, to switch the brown strap of my white dial model, with a generic black crocodile strap. The end problem is that the watch will not look appropriate for sundays.

Black strap watch means that its a formal watch, hardly any versatility.

Besides, brown is the current trendy color, not black.

I got my visodate cheaper than any1 here lolol.


The visodate functions, as expected of a watch.

in case anyone is wondering abt the accuracy, do expect + 15-25 secs fluctuation a day for the visodate.

The visodate has a perfect size for most asian men, if you are an ectomorphic or mesomorphic.

In other words, unless an individual is endomorphic obese, then its small

Go bras basah buy if you want local.
Online at ace jewelers cheaper.

Weigh your pros and cons.

The gold cased visodate will not last after constant wear and tear. You either recoat it, strip it down to SS or buy a new case

 

[KohChris]

Actually the visodate is designed to take head on knocks 1.
It has a sapphire convex crystal dome to protect the watch, about 3mm at its thickest point, 1mm at base.

Just be careful of side impacts on lugs because the lugs are thin and small.

Is tthe warranty offered the same whether you purchase online or locally?

If you are refering to Ace, yes.
Both are exactly the same.

Their warranty for tissot is legit.

I checked tissot's web. They are listed.

They are ADs for other brands of watches too

 

[KohChris]

If ace carried enough brands and if people were conscious and daring enough, it can kill off those brick and mortar shops at knightsbridge, wisma atria and scotts square.

Thanks for the info.Looks like I will be getting it from Ace.Out of stock for the silver dial ATM though.

 

[Tooi Kono Machi De]

By the way I may be mistaken but I believe Ace has increased their pricing?

Ace Jewelers mCommerce

Tissot Visodate Heritage and Tissot Visodate Automatic no difference right?

Hi bro, any shop to recommend at bras basah?

 

[patryn33]

any idea how is stowa online service...always wanted to pull the trigger on the stowa chrono.

a Valjoux 7753 chrono movement should not be hard to be serviced by local watch repairers right??

Their service has always been great if not no one will be shopping with them already. Demand higher than supply that's why ppl are waiting.

Eta 7753, local watchmaker like JW can take care of it with great ease.

 

[eenick]

Anyone know where I can get an extra hole punched in a watch a bought online? Leather strap.
