The Watch Thread - Part 3

[ahboy82]

its interesting that u like the watch b4 u know its on a printed dial, knowing that its printed it changes your mind ASAP. I think I read ETA and longines uses chemically blue method and not traditionally bluing of steel like JLC and nomos.

I don't think any PP or GO owners will think their watch is cheap. even if they care what ppl on the street feel, no one on the street will think a PP is cheapo. LOL

u misunderstood me. i still like that longines watch with printed dials, but like does not mean i will end up buying. liking and buying are 2 different matters, at least to me...

 

[ahboy82]

if you are very particular about quality and tactile feel, this isnt the watch for you. the watch is very light, it lacks heft and weight of a solid watch. the finishing is not as remarkable as omega.

the crystal has a domed convex surface, there is difficultly reading time at side angles.

however, if you discount the above, it remains a good product.

there is another alternative. 2.2k after discount if you can bargain smartly.

baume-et-mercier

this baume piece is not printed dials right?

anyway too rush to get it at 32% off. the promo ends today siah knew abt this too late.

Just got a Seiko 5 today, haha

Nice watch.

How much you pay for it?
Does it comes in white/black?

Hi, thanks.

I paid $170.

I opted for the K model instead of the J model as I couldn't feel any quality differences except for the "Japan made" print on the dial.

There are a few colours to choose from and I think there is a black and white. There is a black dial/bezel with gold markings, quite nice actually.

meh went to airport omega stores today... too expensive the deville...
crazy out of my range badly haha.

Whats a good sub 2~4k watch which is something similar to the omega? At airport buy can get 35% off with staff purchase!

looking for something with roman print and day plus date.. was considering the visodate but looking for something slightly higher end?

TIA!

day date and roman indexes hard to find loh...
drop the day requirement easier to find.
visodate no roman index leh...
if so try Maurice Lacroix, longines masters collection
frederique constant FC-710MC4H6

Louis Erard 69 257 AA 21 - maybe too cheap for U just ~1k

Got it from Watch Fashion aka Skywatches at People's Park Complex #03-62. Lousy service, gave me the take it or leave it attitude. It's a grey set with shop warranty.

Buy it bro! Where are you thinking of getting it from?

I can hardly find a nice JLC on the second hand market. A master eight days once appear in JW but was bought up the very next day..
