The Watch Thread - Part 3

[balzebub]

One question. Do you all care if the top case is sapphire crystal or sapphire coating? Or just hard lens is ok enough?

I prefer sapphire crystal over mineral CrystalI over acrylic any day. I can't stand to have any flaw on my watch Crystal, so sapphire is the hardest to scratch and honestly not easy to shatter as well, if you knock or drop your watch hard enough to actually shatter the Crystal then of its a mechanical watch, very likely the shock of impact would have caused plenty of damage to the movement.

Acrylic scratches to easily, polishing my speedmaster Crystal with polywatch in the 6 years I had it was stressful....

Anyone bought from this online store before?

Orient Automatic FDB05001W Mens Semi Skeleton Watch

I'm looking at the orient golden eye. Went to the shops at bencoolen and did not see it. Think it might be an old model or discontinued?

Thanks for the feedback

Hello Guys,

It really means a lot to me as it is my first mechanical watch.

Cheers.

Welcome to the club guys!

A fair warning:

Anyone have idea on the AD prices for the below Breitlings?

Colt GMT
Superocean steel fish
Avenger sea wolf
Avenger skyland

Look at the rubber strap versions.

Appreciate some advise on this for my virgin watch.

Also where can I view and feel the largest range of Breitling and Ball watches?

Never go wrong with sapphire crystal. All the high end watches are using that...................

New is $10.6K from Cortina. 2nd hand is around $7.5K.

Local seller at $9400
FS : BNIB Panerai Luminor 1950 3 Days Automatic PAM 312

Not sure any discount from Cortina. If there is a 10%, its roughly around $9.5K so should be the same.

Correct me if I am wrong............................

I think if you buy from the local gray dealer here also can get a much better price as compared to the AD here.
