The Watch Thread - Part 3

[yattokame]

Its like a woman wearing slippers, shorts and spagetti carrying a chanel bag.

depends on which bag and how she carries them. A WOC is fine. Also how she carries herself. If one can match all the things nicely, nothing wrong.

else you can go to JW - so far i've heard they are pretty good. I think there's another one at lucky plaza..... tophour was it?

Thanks, recently moi watch behave very weird, it's just stopped suddenly even though the power reserve is OK and I always put in the watch winder while not wearing. So far twice................

Checked with THG, the general servicing is $650......................

Buy from Higuchi or ChinoWatch. They've got better prices than local.

Thanks, I am aware of the big 3, including Seiya.

Low volume watch how to expect them to distribute so widely

Nothing wrong to expect their Kallang service center to carry some GS since the previous service center @ Bideford used to carry them.

what kind of watch do you all wear with casual clothing?

 

[Azrielsc]

what kind of watch do you all wear with casual clothing?

IMO, I equate slim watches with dark leather straps or metal bracelets for dressy occasions and chunky watches with lighter coloured straps for casual occasions.

To me, I find that my Luminor or Sub Pams are very casual watches and matches with my daily office wear (polo shirts & jeans) well. Tried to wear the Pam for dress occasions but my shirt cuffs were too small for them.

JLC Reverso/Tag/Rolex/Longines/etc for dress occasions.

Cheerio!

 

[pwillie]

hey all, just curious do you all wear dress watch while wearing casual clothes like tshirts n shorts?

If you are comfortable why not? peopls wear suits with sneakers also...

first time I've heard of this brand..... but remember: it's your money so you buy a watch you like, and not what others preach you should like.

most importantly, try it, walk around in it, look into a mirror with it. If it feels even a bit funny and u have to adjust your stance or whatever, then don't.

Don't be pressured by the sales pitch that 'this watch is very good seller', 'sure to appreciate in value' blah blah blah. See it for yourself.

So...... do you like it? All the best!!!

My G-shocks or just no watches.
If in bermuda/polo tees, then the daytona or the roboto.
