[noobzpro]

feel like getting it

i thought about it quite a while then finally ordered last week le hehe...planning use as a beater watch....can wear to camp

That red one in steel at the left d@mn swee. But the price I cannot afford

Anyone know any watches w such similar red colour design but only below 800?

Google "Seiko Black Bay mod". Chance is you will have to settle for pre-owned.

Edit: Found you the thread from SGROC

lol, the price is at least 100 bucks cheaper siah for the tissots. When things are too good to be true, they (mostly) are. Big ticket item, i think it's best to go down to an AD, got the 'peace' in your heart + after purchase service. Blog sites like these are realllllly super super dodgy.

Yea just my 2 cents

Bezel? How does your bezel drop out? Did u knock or drop it or something?

it looks like it's a glued on bezel?

my watch model below: the black portion went missing. now left the stainless steel....

I was quoted by 1 shop at The Bencoolen for a price of 740 sgd for the Visodate.

Haven't had a chance to visit the other outlets yet. Can't help it, really falling in love with this lovely watch.

Ebay seller (top-rated somemore) selling at 550 sgd including delivery

Yo, 700++ is standard price. Now vincent watches got 15% discount. Original price is bout 860-70.

I agree is a beauty. I'd say 550+/600+ all i dun trust. Too good to be true. Im paranoid boy tho haha.

lol i no need cheong de la...honestly not bad.....but its still a tudor lor....workmanship is awesome, looks wise under different light look abit different from online but still worthy to be part of a collection imo....price is also not mind blowing....go try it la then see whether u like it...its not gonna blow the submariner but its different...the price diff between the bracelet and strap is not much so take the bracelet...i check with rsc the last time....1.1k for bracelet and 600 for the leather strap with deployant clasp

I m not so keen on the bracelet cause I have another bracelet watch. That's why I m looking into the vintage leather strap . But yr opinion on the leather strap is not good right ?

Wa afternarket strap u looking at ? I m thinking maybe a dark brown strap with red stitching will fit it nicely

I have done alot of online shopping for other Ebay stuff, so I dare to trust ebay. Somemore paypal favors the buyer, as long as something is not right, I can confidently get fully refunded.

The question is, do I pay 600 bucks for Ebay, but have to wait about 1.5 weeks. Or do I pay 700++ bucks in Bencoolen, and get extra support and service.

Im looking at jabba strap but buckle might need to get from rsc...they only sell as a whole

IMHO it looks cheap but maybe it's just me. I really liked it when I first saw it online though.

I am not familiar with the Nomos movement. Just read from some sites about others complain of the inconvenience of the date. For example, if today is 21 and the date on the watch is 19, do u need to advance the hour hand 48hrs to make it go to 21?
With an ETA movement, one just advance the date to 21.

Nomos just have to adv hr from 9pm to 12am and go back to 9pm by other direction and back to 12am to set date. No quick set like ETA where u just roll the crown from 21 to 22 and so on.
On zenith, u can roll crown back and forth 21 to 20 to 19.

OK, I see. Not too much hassle then.
I was thinking one needs to advance 2 full round to in order to move the date from 19 to 21. That will be too much inconvenience.
