The Watch Thread - Part 3

[Velton]

this Bulgari one doesn't talk to me,
my personal pref for divers are (no particular order):

- Omega Seamaster (can't go wrong with this classic)

- IWC aquatimer (got the older version which is smaller)

- JLC memovox deep sea (expensive)

- Blancpain Fifty Fathoms (expensive)

- Tudor Black Bay (clean diver design)

others to consider:

- Glashutte Sport Evo
- Breitling Superocean heritage
- Jeanrichard diverscope
- Chanel J12 Marine
- ML Pontos S

this IWC is nice? you know the RRP?

Not likely available for BNIB in the market now cos this is the old version, I got it from grey @ abt USD$3.2k for the one with rubber strap

That is very kind of u, sahdu sahdu.



Just curious, what is that to look down upon by others when wearing a rolex, a ball? Most my friends envy and praise my white exp, even my biz associates. Been wearing ever since I have the cash to purchase it. Luck is with me, no harm to me yet.

This a public forum and anyone behind the computer is free to voice out their views. U are entitled yours too. No right no wrong. Everyone has his likes and dislikes, a typical example ball watch I like some the design and balls between the legs have never come into my mind when admiring the watch.

rolex just dun wear overseas loh. it is actually really dangerous if u ask me. even in singapore when i wear i got occasions where the bangala or whatever crap u call them keep staring at my watch. it is only a small datejust somemore...scary ****.

..check out the pelagos lume very nice

The Pelagos lume looks nuclear in that photo!

It's a pity however the Black Bay's deep red bezel may not "endure", to me anyway. Besides, the lack of a date aperture bothers me too.

I think you should be able to pick one up (preowned) from SGROC or SWX. However, it will likely be the yellow/black version.

 

[KohChris]

I agree with u on both counts. I dint check thorough enuff n that the 2893 mod fr the GC is better than my current tudor.

But the gripe i have with lvmh is that even if a consumer is paying everythg they quoted, they still cant get the repairs right.

Come to thk of it, its not tag's fault lol. I still like thier watches, including the new ceramic aquaracers. Not the one u posted tho . But its the after service that prevents me fr gg back atm

What did lvmh not fix in the gc? Just curious

btw, anyone knows the RRP for omega PO? iirc, it's 6k+?

Anyone interested in ordering watch from WWW dot e-oro dot gr.I check tissot website, its an authorised dealer. Price wise... Its price on the website / 1.21(vat) x exchange rate(euro). I ald email them, they say buy 2 or more will have discount. I am ordering a ck watch. Shipping wise, there's free shipping and express shipping(10euros). Anyone interested, pls drop me a pm!

PS: visodate is about 425x1.6/1.21/(further discount. About 600$!

Yeah the PO 8500s are expensive. Someone here has one, probably got it for mid to high 6k after discount (I may have recalled wrongly).

 

[K|muRa^84]

How much does the bp ff retail for??

 

[DempseyRoll]

If you buy this ceramic watch, you can pawn WG in terms of style and watchmaking tech

Oh this watch looks like the Rolex...haha...
But I'm not quite fond of the tag band name...haha...

 

[DempseyRoll]

Half of the forumers says that his rolex is fake.

Sibei sian. If he buy real one also get mistaken by others

In the eyes of some singaporeans, a rolex is fake until proven genuine...very hard to haolian with it..

To di siao rolex owners, always haolian and give a smug look to rolex owners and say "real one?"

Tts why Pple like me avoid it...besides the fact that rolex can only be worn in sg but not overseas

It's true that there are many fakes ard...but I think watches are bought because the buyer really likes the brand or design.

I've bought a fake watch in the past....the feeling was so sucky....and I felt that if I can't afford it, I also won't want to be a poser...haha
