Just want to make sure I cover all bases.

Omg...... a nautilus....

I think i just came in my pants.... =P

Jeremy... audio n photography are equally exp hobbies >.< or rather imo photography is a more exp sports than watches...
Entry level DSLR eith 18-55mm lens n 50mm prime cost abt 4k? Havent add dry box, filters cleaning kit, tripod, memory card.
Then the upkeep

Imagine a PENTAX 40MP pro dslr cost about 180k usd... i think can buy about 5 full gold YMT or daytona

Let me checked up, I never know of any camera which cost that much............................

Watch hobby is definitely more expensive than audio and photography as Watch is considered Jewellery......................

Talking about a Full gold Daytona about $30K ? I think if u are buying a FF Nikon/Canon and a few Trinity lenses also doesn't come up to that amount.

Example :
Nikon D4 - $7K
Nikon 1424 F2.8 - $3K
Nikon 2470 F2.8 - $3K
Nikon 70200 F2.8 VR2 - $3.3K

Total ~ $16.3K, put in another $4K for all your accessory also doesn't come up to $30K.

Even if u are considered a MF PRO Body like the Leica S2 which cost about $45K as a comparing to a EM lowest model is peanut......................

Very nice watch but moi blue collar worker so too elite for me liao.............................

 

[Jeremy1]

but photography u can go into freelance mah to earn some quick bucks. see nowadays so many freelance wedding photographers.

watches u cant really make an earning out of it.. both also expensive hobby lah.

Actually, it's a "good investment" on your watch as compared to your DSLR not taking inflation into consideration.

Because through time, watches price will appreciate. Did u see any swiss brand watches price dropping ? NO, it's price had been increasing every year......................

But electronic thing like camera through time can drop away liao.............................

So smart people will buy Elite watch to keep.............................

 

[Jeremy1]

moi already hav audio hobby... entry level ... current sauce is

Walkman Z -> FiiO E17 -> UM3X

LS8 on order... and waiting for next pay to upgrade to

Walking F887 -> FiiO E17(Plan to upgrade soon) -> LS8

I think add together more ex than my Black Bay ...

Wait later, u upgrade to a higher end watch, then u will see......................

Elite Photographer spotted............................

[aerolord]

Wait later, u upgrade to a higher end watch, then u will see......................

[crapman]

Can't go wrong with the speedmaster, very versatile watch

Yeah it's love at first sight.. but debated for 1 week before buying...

The only reason I don't like Daytona is that it does not have calender..

One last question before I leave for Tokyo. Anywhere to go watch shopping besides Jackroad?

Just want to make sure I cover all bases.

Did you go to Kame Kichi, a few units away from Jack Road?

And House Kihiroba in Shibuya.

If you visited all 3, then you are pretty much done. There are other smaller ones here and there but those 3 are pretty much a must-go.

That is an old PanomaticLunar model. I doubt you can still find it.

The new one is slightly bigger at 40mm.

Moi never notice but moi prefer watch with no date, hate to adjust when its stopped for a few days..................
