The Watch Thread - Part 3

[trd2970]

Which brand for square watches other than Cartier & B&R?

Jlc reverso squadro?

"Inspired" by my mom's nagging for CNY spring cleaning, I finally managed to dig out the watch box (gift from ex colleagues, so I dont know how much it costs), and tidy up the space.
But, knowing me, this will prob last only 1 week, before the watches get chucked into the drawer

U need 3 more .. How's the glycine ? Is it nice ?

this glycine model is manual wind, bought 9 yrs ago, still working fine
watch dial slightly big for my wrist, but for casual wear still ok.
bought it from THG (peninsula branch ), IIRC after discount about $900.

Ha ha not much to review on.

I got the 4 watch winder version which comes with the LCD screen. The controls are not at the back with buttons instead in front next to LCD screen.

Anyways, looks and feel very well built, the LED internal light is very bright. The LCD screen also clear and precise and got illuminator. The motor is really silent, cannot even hear it at all. Can choose between clockwise, counter-clockwise, both directions after certain interval. Can choose to turn on only left or right winder or both winder. And also different TPH.

Design is also nice and looks luxurious, very easy to match with interior deco.

If only they invent something to wind manual winding watches ha ha ha.

I got follow the updates from all of the above except bonfield, which i found an interesting piece...

Already emailed them for the price...their location is rather off though, and their operating hours are office hours...have to take leave to go see and buy if interested!

Anyway, I did manage to take a pic of my mom's old roc (79173?) which she bought from P**g K**e years back...

Was thinking of getting the men's version of the piece and found one at Champion Time...is this shop at Bencoolen reliable?


Thanks for the recommendation mate, but i think will still go for a date-just...

While I do think some of their prices are on the slightly higher side and I would personally recommend HJ Watch or Watch Arena.

They have a pretty large range for you to choose from, price wise is reasonable but if you want to get from HJ, let me know

Hi,

I've just bought a new Hami leather watch. Is it recommended to apply leather wax/cream and water-proof coating on the leather strap?

Thanks.
