The Watch Thread - Part 3

[Henabi]

I didn't get the seagull seamaster look a like as it's too much of a homage of the omega AT, would rather get the AT? But the 1963 is nice, I tried the sapphire crystal version at seagull sg and it looks better in real life than in the pictures, and I prefer it's bigger size over the 38mm version. My one gripe is that I believe the 1963 are not made by seagull Tianjin anymore as you cannot find it on their official webstore?

if this looks so much like Omega seamaster.... then Invicta pro diver is machiam a direct replica of Rolex Sub. just different brand lolx

Tks for the advice! The person was tellin me disc of 15% + add 6% if I pay using visa. They have this promotion for sep n oct meaning I need to decide latest by tmr..

This is my first time buyin such expensive watch that's y I think better be prudent n ask u guys first. I've learn so much jus by reading the thread 3. I also like the classy look n is not as heavy as the other auto model.

Hi all gurus! Is my first post here, am thinking of getting a Tag Heuer Carrera Automatic Mens Watch TAG Heuer Men's WV211M.BA0787 Carrera Calibre Five Black Dial Watch as a gift.

I went to sincere at Suntec and the person quote me 3,900 before disc. After Disc is abt 3,100. Do you think is a good buy? Or with that money I can buy something similar at lower price??
Thanks Vm!

Check out this..

1. Sea-Master Black_SPECIAL EDITION_SEA-GULL Seagullwatch Singapore
Seagull sea-master look alike. i think there is caseback too. Retail only SGD$13x. please don't compare to the actual finishing of the omega seamaster, because yi fen qian, yi fen huo. There is quite a high following of this particular watch model over at watchuseek, as it is only available in singapore only. Maybe i will get one to play.

2. 1963(#38mm)_SPECIAL EDITION_SEA-GULL Seagullwatch Singapore
Seagull 1963 re-issues. This one also not bad. I would prefer the acrylic domed casing, as compared to the flat sapphire glass casing offered. Approx $350.

This is just purely for sharing and discussing purposes, for peeps here with a budget limit.

Thank you !

Many Ad that carry Tudor? I just played with one at Dickson watches at suntec while waiting for them to resize my watch bracelet for me. $5800 but only 5% discount, 黑暗. Been offered 10% at other places before

$5800? means price up liao. months back was $5500 only

Fossil is US brand, never buy from Fossil boutique, retail price only with no discount. Considered fashion watch brand but a few of my colleagues swear by Fossil and are very happy with their design and durability.

In fact I was looking at their limited edition breaker diver...quite nice but 800 plus at the boutique is just too ex for me to bite, they also have one limited edition skeleton that has a transparent glass casing, 900 plus but china made and I can't find any info on the movement so obviously felt it was ex too,.,

Thank you bro! In this case I will only look and try on their watch in the shop, then buy online.

Is steinhart workmanship better than squale?
I find that squale not as popular as steinhart in the online forum.

Guys may I ask, anyone here know something about Hamilton watch? Reason is, found a pretty good deal online but not sure if it's good or not. Hamilton Automatic watch S$ 899. (oh no my budget shoot up liao) (From Bodying.sg)

 

[Zephon]

Here is it guy:

Is it too good to be true?

Here is it guy:

H32565595 : Cheap Hamilton H32565595 Watches in Singapore - Bodying.sg

Is it too good to be true?

not bad looking but is bodying.sg a reliable seller? that's the question....is it a gray market watch? cos it states warranty is 2 years from seller, who is the seller in this case? Hamilton/SWATCH group or bodying.sg?? Better to buy those with manufacturer warranty.

Thanks for the tip bro, let me email them about the warranty.

BTW what does it means a gray market watch? (means fake one or 2nd hand?)

--Edited --

OK nvm found online, gray market means unauthorized seller with big discount, but no warranty.

Unless you really really love the look, design, how it feels on your wrist, for $3100 (top up slightly if need be) you can consider NOMOs like what patryn33 suggested. More worth it considering they do more work on the movement, better finishing imho and uncommon.

usually they will give you their own warranty, which from personal experience is usually quite worthless; but then again watches usually don't break down within warranty period as well, unless subject to abuse.

If anything happen to the watch after the seller warranty, still can send the watch for repair at authentic service center with a price right? (I means the service center still accept it?)
