The Watch Thread - Part 3

[angzhenhan]

u nv say diver or dress watch???

Im actually looking for a dress watch

 

[angzhenhan]

automatic / quartz movement?
metal / leather band?
width of the dial: 40mm/ 45mm / 50mm?

Better for the watch to have leather band. I'm actually ok with both automatic and quartz, but just to inquire, which one is more affordable? Prefer the dial to be 45 or 50mm as i have big wrist

 

[kiatkiat]

ignore the day and date

I prefer Seiko with kanji day. More orginal feel

For large dial watches, you can consider the following:
- Zeppelin
- Junkers
- Junghans
- Invicta
- Police

locally, I only know 25 hours carry Zeppelin, Junkers in their stores.

Other than that, you can look at Fossil
