Glycine for National Day!

What a beauty. This is pretty old already? Cos iirc, the new Incursore have the logo. What's the size? Love the simplicity of Glycine.

Ya, about 10 yrs old, manual wind, should be 46mm if im not wrong

What do you guys think? Can't seem to decide between this two. I was looking at the Omega Seamaster at first, but didn't want to splurge on my first decent watch.

how many mm are these?

if i recalled correctly, the longines face was quite small and doesn't command much presence. Wear already people wont give a 2nd look at it.

Ball looks nicer imo.

你爽就好

Frederique Constant, today went to check out their range at Ngee Ann City. Pretty decent watches..wont cost an arm/leg for an automatic with inhouse movements. Nice showcase of their movements from backglass too. 25% off retail price.

The ball fireman racer looks small too.
MookieTea, have u seen fireman classic?

 

[ralliart12]

could it be this?...

Nope; it looks like (& may very well be) this:

...Currently looking at Longines Hydroconquest...

I took a look at this model recently, & though I probably can't afford it, I am disappointed that they "printed" an additional "(300 meters)" right beside the typical "30-bar" pressure rating. I mean, I'd expect to find this kind of elaboration on a brochure but not permanently on the actual watch (face) itself:

...If the watch is still running fine then servicing shouldnt be too exp...

@yattokame: any to recommend for regulation? Have a 2893-2 that's gaining time.

I prefer the ball becos of the cool tritium baton markers

I 2nd that. It is stunning when's r in dark plcs.

Very diff design and use, it's more preference than anything

I prefer the Ball for the tritium and the date magnifier.
And I heard only good things about Ball Service Centre.

 

[MookieTea]

how many mm are these?

The ball's 40mm
and Longine's 41mm. Should fit nicely on my thin wrist.

The ball fireman racer looks small too.
MookieTea, have u seen fireman classic?

Yeah, but it's slightly dressier than what i'm looking for.

Very diff design and use, it's more preference than anything
What's your budget? 2k??

Yea 2-2.5k Actually i'm leaning towards the submariner kind of design but rolex's way over my budget.

not sure if this is the correct place to ask...

but i wonder where can i take a look at the following brand in Singapore?

- Stowa
- Nomos
- Seiko JDM

had been looking at simple watch like Tissot Visodate as to replace my current quartz watch which is going to uplorry anytime soon

please advice!

 

[patryn33]

Stowa - no where, u can seek out forumers to let u see their watch. Long wait time, they don't have to deal with store, tons of ppl order online.
Nomos - JW if they still carry but in any case they have very limited range. Pretty same issue as stowa.
Seiko JDM - Japan! Domestic model good luck trying to find store.

 

[yattokame]

Hey guys

Anyone knows if taipei is a good place for watches?

The last time I was there was back in 2007; and the shops gave me a pretty good price even before I started bargaining. Better than what I can get from ADs here. But that was many years ago......dunno how it is now.

If prices are good I might go there for a family holiday thanks
