Tissot PRC is damn swee. Got $ i will whack but i think the face a bit small?

 

[chromehead]

Why the sea gull look alike with tissot lelicle?! Tamade. Tissot oso wanna imitate?!

lol don't be dense, the 'marine' style guilloche dial with roman numerals is actually quite common.

after looking around and sourcing for orient watches, finally saw a model which caught my eye. (mako was too small, and mako xl a tad too big). this model was probably inbetween their size, and looked fairly similiar. copped it from bras brasah following one bro's recommendation, from the friendly boss there. copped a black nato strap as well.. orient orca

Umm helium release valve is unscrewed to allow helium gas accumulated from saturation diving to escape from the watch to prevent it from going boom from pressure or something like that la. Redundant for desk top diver like me.

Or ulu brand such as epos, frederique constant, louis erard

Not sure how 'ulu' relates to watch brand, but Frederique Constant is probably far from 'ulu' however it is defined. Check out their slimline manufacture. If you crave a low-priced moonphase watch, this is it (if you like the 42mm size, that is)

 

[fade_white]

watch snobs/gurus/enthusiasts... what do you think of the brand Bulova? particularly the accutron range.

[winorlose]

FC is slowly growing its base..who knows? They probably might command a premium 10yrs down the road if their marketing strategy works?

I quite like it and i've told my gf to look out for it in Geneva.

 

[hwaa]

recently one of my colleague bought a steinhart. and then the rest of my colleagues all got sot tio and also started buying. then so i did a google and realized their stocks always get soldout v fast even their official also always oos.

i know their diver look like rolex and their pilot is also look like any other pilot. their watches is not that ex, worth buying? i kinda also sot tio by their ocean diver. lol.

 

[yeswecan]

Hey bros, what do you all think of Orient Bambino? Looking for a cheap automatic watch. Anyway how much is it and where to get it? Thanks!

Worth it as a tool watch.
Popular as there is a AD here get to view b4 buying.

No fear of buying without seeing I like Chris ward better, 5 yrs warranty vs 2, plus they cover cost if shipping back. Great return policy if u don't like it. Better yet wait for sale can hoot 30% cheaper. Steinhart not known to have sale. I like the Gmt version but all sold out.

An interview of their CEO sometime ago, they have no plans to move up the lux line.
