The Watch Thread - Part 3

[noobzpro]

alot of watch pay homage to Omega
Tissot Seastar 1000 should be priced under 1K here.
The Seastar Chrono 49mm is LE to 1000 pices, priced at US$2250

bro wr in sg got the seastar chrono 49mm...

 

[satch]

Bro...wasted... u should consider getting at first and sell in open mkt.... still cheaper than retailers here and still can earn some bucks....

Tks bro but it's ok la...already bought a few other pieces and the Junghans max bill Chronoscope...so I'm contented

 

[satch]

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

You're quite right. U1 is everywhere. I sold my u1 few weeks after buying from sinn frankfurt factory.

 

[Luffyz]

Thanks~

i am thinking of getting another black-dialed bambino, and change the black leather strap to a stainless steel bracelet.

Anyone think its feasible? where could i get it done? and which braclet should i purchase? hmms..

hi bros. need some help here.

previously bought a watch from amazon,

Stuhrling Original Men's 451.3315K1SET Leisure Eagle Square Swiss Quartz Date Leather Strap Set Watch: Watches: Amazon.com

i need to punch like around 2 more holes on the 2mm strap.

but when i went to some random watch shop, the store owner told me that the leather strap is too thick for their equipment to punch through.

any idea where else can i go to punch the strap? read online and someone advised going to the cobbler or something. wont they spoil the strap?

real watch on hand is very nice and pretty. too bad i wanna the no date.

If you really have no choice but to send it back, make 'em:

1. Declare the new watch below S$400, and make them take the risk. In this way you don't have to incur GST. If not, make them pay for the GST this time round.
2. Make them pay for the shipping back, it was their mistake.

Date is better. Cos the 2824 movement is a date movement. Without the date, it's simply not having a window on the dial and no date wheel. No modifications have been done to the movement. You half pull the crown, it's still turning some gears I think. If you're a purist, you would probably would have to go for some hand-wound non-date movement altogether. And it's really more practical to have a date if it's an everyday watch too. Advise that you keep the watch if there's no other issues. It flew all the way from Germany to you afterall. <;

Btw, I too fought with the "date-no date" dilemma and got a date stowa flieger too.

Buy Omega watches online at Ace Jewelers, official and proud dealers!

1. Never buy a watch from a company without aftersales support in sg

If you need spare parts later on or if you need to send it back, it is tedious.

2. Go to a 3rd party shop like jwwatch that does service for panerais

 

[KohChris]

Dont go to cobbler, their hole punching tools are not meant for watch straps.

Those watch shops will usually punch a small hole in the strap, and it is enuf oredi, the hole will auto expand to accomodate the metal pin

 

[Amsterdan]

is there any other brands that have watch similiar to this kind of design but around 1k price?
