The Watch Thread - Part 3

[xtreamzz]

Is there any recommended place to send this for a full servicing? The hands are in pretty bad shape, lume is kinda yellowish, not sure if it was meant to be that way.

In europe with 5 or 10% discount, bb leather under 3k can get, bracelet 3.2k. Pelagos should be closer to 4k.

If that is a tritium dial, the the orangey-beige patina is normal.

Dad just bought the EPOS against my advice (on basis that I've never heard of it before and the lack of information available on the internet)

I was hoping to hear something good,

I guess it's a not-so-good buy

 

[DempseyRoll]

Sorry guys ..I was unclear with my question. Let me rephrase.

Directed at noobzpro. ..

Tudor pelagos at 3.5k is a good deal right?*

For the new Rolex gmt...You able to get it at sub 10k? Serious? ???Is this watch going to be limited edition? Or I can get it throughout the year?

Hi dearest shifus and masters here,
I was camping for awhile here and posted some strange comments previously with regards to somethings i was looking for in a watch.
However, this time round, can I get some inputs or rather advise on seeking a formal watch(i am a total newb to the different movements, but I think a formal watch is the one with metal straps right) with a budget of 1k-2k. Kindly advise please..

 

[patryn33]

Metal or leather all can be formal lah.
More dress what in leather.
2k budget can try a stowa antea, 39mm on A10
Antea 390 A 10 - STOWA GmbH & Co.KG

Or those in frederique constant manufacture line

Actually, any tips to match what design of leather strap against what kind of watch (what kinda lugs go with what leather, what kind of bezel match with what leather strap, design)?

At first I though for those watches with dull, industrial bezels & lugs, e.g. Sinn U1, if switch to leather strap, like looks very funny.

Those that got lobang to share but cannot really say much might as well don't say. Of course if not comfortable with releasing publicly can ask users to pm you but don't put yourself on a high pedestal. I'm sure those with pockets deep enough to hoot lolec will appreciate savings of a few k. Enough to go holiday, have a good meal whatever you want.
