have been letting it run for few days, so far runs quite well.. dun need to adjust timing. but there was once i wind in the morning but next day woke up it stopped, maybe dint wound fully.. so now i just wind one time morning, one time night before sleep. watch gurus, is that ok? cos its my first handwind watch... and not sure if theres a standard thing to follow..

getting nicer and nicer each day i feel. wore it today to work and matched with my dirty brown boots.
i work outdoors one also damn tempted to wear this to work.

just a humble watch.

Okay I need a bit of "push" or "opinion"

Looking for a entry dress watch on those online shops
So narrow down to Quartz as probably my wife can't tell the diff and also the price jump quite substantial . My pick and budget is roughly below .

Tag link 1800
Longiness 1100
B&M 1300
Raymond Weil 800-1000

Am leaning towards the B&M but is it value for money and also the branding thingy. Tag marketing is surely louder .
Upgrading her from a Eco-drive , will it be a good choice ?
Dilemmas

 

[hwaa]

i think a woman's tag will look nice, i will either take tag - if i have the budget... or a b&m.

but i think not much pple heard of b&m.

 

[Henabi]

generally, ladies will know TH, rolex, Omega, seiko, Citizen and longines.

my wife also like TH ladies watch. she say,very classy n elegant.

why not? give it some dust and dirt lolx. glass should be sapphire right? and imo it matches safety boots, jeans and overalls very nicely.

Get some patina on it and it will be even nicer....by right a full wind should be enough to last u through one whole day and more. I usually wind my speedmaster 861 cal once in the morning when i am wearing it? Heard that it is better to wind a manual wind watch at about the same time everyday or something haha

Hi guys

Been reading almost 100 pages in this thread...

I am looking at
Seamaster Planet Ocean 600 M Omega Co-Axial 42 mm - Steel on steel - 232.30.42.21.01.001

Havent went to any AD yet, but based on Omega Price List in Singapore | Watchnatic Blog its abt 6.5 grand... (with the standard discounts, maybe 5,800?)

What are your thoughts? Thinking maybe i should hoot this on my trip to HK... (save tax)
