Who Makes a Better Movement - Rolex or Omega?

Does Faster Mean More Accurate? - TimeZone

Hello guys,

Would like to seek your opinion on this particular watch strap's color.

Is it suitable for work/formal attire - CBD area? Seems a bit loud.

Is your work place strict with your attire? Cause unless your work place or superiors are super anal over your attire/ dress code, as long as it matches your clothes i don't see why that strap wouldn't work.

If you want to be on the safe side then stick to black/brown and leave that for the weekends.

agree. even thou if your office is located in CBD, it all boils down to your company, your department and your position.

if you're an Art Director, then being loud, funky n fashionable is perfectly fine.
if you're working in a bank or finance institution, then its safer to go with black, grey, navy blue or brown.

Anyone has an estimate of how much is the price of a tissot powermatic 80? The leather version with clasp. Not sure if I should get it at airport at the end of month.

Changed to strap. Very nice crocodile strap from Italy. Poor camera skills and lighting. Actual stuff looks really good - old school charm

assuming the watch is fine...

it stops after 1 day, does that means i'm not winding it enough?

generally, how many times do i wind the watch? until there is slight resistance or complete resistance?

there should be an instruction manual telling you how to maintai. the watch and how many times n hoe often you need to wind it.

usually the SA may also verbally.tell you. like my auto 25hrs watch needs to wind 20-25 times.everyday in the morning

otherwise, its good to invest in a watch winder. it will help you to "wind" your watches when you're not wearing. you can buy from ebay or amazon.com

Just buy an Orient Bambino.

How about Orient Symphony?

It looks so similar but cheaper by $50 bucks.

Very similar, but non-domed glass.

Hi everyone

I am looking for an after market strap for a 48mm Zenith Pilot Montre D'Aeronef Annual Calendar. Size of strap is 24/22mm 115/75.

The strap lug seems to be unique (see photos). Hence, not sure if all after market straps will work.

Appreciate if anyone here can point me in the right direction where I can get one. I've actually looked through sg-roc but was not able to find any.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Wow .. What a beauty! I'm not able to help but if you don't get the right help here, I suggest you pose your question at the Zenith brand forum at WUS. Someone there should be able to help.
