The Watch Thread - Part 3

[patryn33]

Lugs are 22mm. Don't swim and don't really require something that can tahan sweat cos I'm going in a cold country to further my studies so yeah.

Where maybe cheaper buying there, EU and states has lots of online store selling quality straps. Oz u are out of luck just buy here.

I just submitted with Company name and business reg number as "NA"

wonder if it's okay

I think last time I told them I just want a personal account. Don't need business reg no. They have those type of account just for us small time user.

If u are looking at Breitling, you can take a look at Superocean 44, I have this piece with blue sec hand... Within your budget but 44mm... the watch is heavy and thick. I changed to black silicone strap and wear this for casual. If u wear office long sleeves shirt then not quite suitable.

What's the L2L of the 47mm 389? Congrats btw!

From L2L (end of the lugs), it is 57.95mm.

How much did you pay for it?a gauge? Haha

I bought it for S$12.6k. Ion Panerai retails this at S$13.4k.

Cheers!

My old humble tissot chronograph v8 given a new breathe of life...

..I love the sub too and was looking at the Pam 25 before I was introduced to the 389. Love at 1st sight. I know that this may sound like a heresy but I was attracted to the 389 more than the iconic 372..

Among the Submersibles, I only truly have eyes for the 243.

That is HUGE. Hope you have the wrist to pull it off, I sure don't!

Ah, the 243! Nice but for me, personally, I would choose a Pam without the cyclops date.

As for the 389's size, I believe it is the height that makes the watch easier to pull off on a smaller wrist. Mine's a 6.25" wrist and I was surprised that I still could wear a 47mm 1950 Luminor. I didn't feel so comfortable with a 372 (47mm) because it was on the classic Luminor case.

Here's a comparison with between my 44mm 351 and the 47mm 389.

Cheers!

my Sinn 556A:

bought a couple of months back and swapped the band for a hirsch liberty. unfortunately there's already been some scratches on the AR coating. not too particular though. would recommend this for anyone looking for a daily beater.

My order just arrived at home today!

A 47mm Luminor Submersible 1950 Amagnetic 3 Days Automatic Titanio. Now that is a mouthful!

I changed out the strap to a brown one, for a bit of uniqueness!

Don't really like the watch, but that strap is excellent. I need to get a really thick high-quality strap for my UTS....

Any nomos owners here? Hodinkee got a positive review of the Orion, classic... Prefer this over the visodate (same style).

yes i would prefer this over the visodate. but this is much expensive than the visodate isnt it? totally different price range.

anyway, which AD in SG carries it? feel like going down and have a try
