Seeing that i've not posted any photos of my watches yet, would now like to share some with you guys.

Started my watch craze early this year. Don't mind the lousy photos, I'm no photographer, and some photos were copied from my FB as i'm lazy to take new photos. If you're able to identify me from the pictures. please don't expose me.. haha! Enjoy!

Pam 5. Changing out the strap.

I would prefer to own a dress watch or a chrono watch,
after googling around the type of watches u stated

i'm fine with any color combination as long as i love it

I'm making many assumptions/generalisations here, but I think most young people will find dress watches old-looking and/or uncle-ish. They also tend to go better with shirt-and-pants type clothing rather than t-shirt-and-jeans. I'd suggest you look for something more sporty looking.

Chronos are a good idea, but it's hard to find a mechanical chrono under 1k. Quartz will be a more realistic choice. Here's two I googled semi-randomly:

Seiko SNAE67P1:

Tissot PRC200 (quartz chrono):

 

[yohzzz]

getting my 1st automatic watch soon
anyone wanna intro some brand/series to me that are <$1k?
my friend intro-ed me tissot visodate...looks good to me, going try it tmr near my hse
anyone know the price for it?
i saw someone hooted 1 ytd

my wrist only around 5.5"
im still studying, 18+ only

seems like alot ppl here got tissot visodate too

It's a nice piece of dress watch. If you wanna get it, get it from JB. you will save quite a lot.

I prefer plain stuff > complicated looking stuff that's why I don't find dress watch uncleish. I don't really care about how I look to others
as long as im comfortable and happy wearing it
And I want a automatic watch

Hmmmm.. mine was actually this model: CARRERA CALIBRE 1887AUTOMATIC CHRONOGRAPH43mm Anthracite sunray effect Steel bracelet | TAG Heuer

Similar to the one in the second link, but that one is their racing model, was only aware of the racing model quite recently, didnt saw it in the outlet when I was searching around..

Not this model? This is at 41
TAG Heuer CARRERA watch | TAG Heuer

Are they selling the ones launch in the Basel world 2013?
TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 1887 Racing Chronograph - 43mm | Watch for Men | TAG Heuer Watches

hello guys! I am still on my dress watch hunt following this thread..
[Hoot?] tis watch KYM? - www.hardwarezone.com.sg

Now considering GO Senator Sixties or JLC Master Control or JLC Master Hometime

I'm heading to Germany in 2 months, thinking I might as well buy GO there
How much price difference can I expect comparing to buying from local AD? I have not checked out their prices locally..

personally for dress watch... JLC master series> GO senator 70s (or 60s) > Zenith Striking 10th > Cartier calibre/IWC Portugese

yea. the DJ1, Sub and Pam 5 are pre-owned

 

[whiteblackred]

agree with this... although i won't put zenith above IWC (in-house). Cartier makes really nice (aesthetics) watches. Movement (and hence bang for buck), depends on the model.

Compare chorno movement?
Iwc Portuguese chrono is base on 7750 zenith striking 10 is inhouse. Not many brands make in house chrono, not even tag

Cartier great jeweler at heart, finishing on case and bracelet can beat jlc zenith etc hands down

Bro, mind to pm how much u hooted for pam 5?? TIA.

 

[Henabi]

yea. the DJ1, Sub and Pam 5 are pre-owned

hope to own one pre-owned rolex too...

I'd suggest you look for something more sporty looking.

Chronos are a good idea, but it's hard to find a mechanical chrono under 1k. Quartz will be a more realistic choice. Here's two I googled semi-randomly:

Tissot PRC200 (quartz chrono):

CHOOSE Tissot PRC200!!! Damn Swee! I saw it in real life, the yellow hands very striking even from a distance!! Like i said before, if i got $ i will whack arr! But hor.. the face bit small.. Are chrono watches supposed to have smaller faces than dress watches? Or the other way round?

My opinion is that the metal strap goes nicer with this watch.
