actually which one appeals to yourself more? you're buying one for yourself to wear, not for others, right? put them on your wrist and see which one suits you more - skin tone, size, overall feel, etc

anyway for the record I like the first one.

Its kinda hard to see these watches in person ... or else it would had been easier to decide :(

No choice; must try one.

I thought I wanted a 116520 but once I put it on I didnt like it. Never thought I would get this 116523 but the monent I tried it on I know I got to have it. Bought it on the spot. Even my wife agrees 100%. Was supposed to be shopping for her watch but ended up it was me who bought one.

I also never thought I'd like a full gold daydate - very uncle. Somehow it matches my skin tone very well so..... Let's see what comes up.

Die die must try one. Pictures are enhanced, videos too. The thickness, the overall facade, etc.....or what people say "how it speaks to you".

Happens to me too... Was very impressed by the Breguet watches (saw pictures of the watches on WUS), but when tried several times on my wrist the watch doesn't seem to fit right or look right. So gotta strike it off from my wish list...:(

I think you're absolutely right, you must be a seasoned collector. I may be too prematurely taken in by all those nice photos only ....

So far, I've only managed to try on the SBGA031 and I liked it alot, fits great too! Unfortunately its the "Rolex lookalike" style is holding me back.

I prefer sporty watches, but you'd be paying a decidedly higher premium by purchasing the SBGA031 (Ti) over the SBGA029 (SS).

Between the SBGAs and the SBGE001, it's a tough call. Any of those 3 are good buys imo.

Photos when you have decided and made your purchase please! :D

haha.... actually dunno what to buy so go and try around. serendipity may work one day. sometimes it's the SEs who wanna push their new watches so just try lor.

Nice....very clean and classy look.

Hey you seem to have a very thin wrist - thats why the ultrathin suits you very well I suppose.

Do you guys have any stigma of not buying preowned watches?
Click to expand...

I know people who do...... I don't.

some are concerned the watch came from some unlucky events like bankruptcy, divorce, death etc........

I have the stigma of not buying new - damn scared I will scratch or knock the watch. happened to a coupe of watches I bought new. Somehow the more I try to avoid, the more knocks it gets
