The Watch Thread - Part 4

[All in a Day]

Over priced for whatever the watch maker has to offer. Watches in the 1k to 5k range don't value add much to their watch after putting in a stock eta. So, it doesn't really worth the money to spend 5k on an exact same movement when you can get some under 1k. Or use the 5k on a vintage respectable brand

I can follow that rationale but i find that quite a generalisation. Apart from movement, there are factors like design, materials used that may hold value to people. Comparing to pre owned/vintage is not very fair as all things equal, the pre owned will def cost less (not considering cult/LE discontinued models)

thumbs up! the nxt time I see someone with a pam in funky strap colours its probably gonna be you!

Wave and introduce yourself! I don't see many others having funky colours for their Pams, maybe only Arcfire!

You all can differentiate the various Pam models? They all look the same to me leh

Different. Based on my understanding different models have different casing and dial type, some with power reserve function etc some do not. Must ask the pam experts here for detailed explanation.

Try this website: http://paneraisource.com/

It explains the differences between Pam models. Before I was interested in Pams, I was also confused as they all "look the same", but the more I delved into them, then the differences started to show.

I think an Orient Star will look very nice on a lady's wrist. Can I confirm that the watch is about 39mm?

Dayum! That blued-hand Orient watch is so sweet! Will make the perfect birthday present for the other half.

For orient star classic The dial face is 39mm. If including the metal casing abt 41mm.

just one more thing is that the glass cover is dome shape. ... so try not to avoid hard objects knocking against it hard

Thanks for the accurate description. May get one for the gf on our 5th year anniversary. Would have loved to get her a Celine mini luggage but that will probably be reserved for a few more years.

Besides bambino and orient star, are there other recommended models?

Bambino is great affordable dress watch. Two versions iirc... before 2012 & after 2012. Better movement and colours different.

Into sports? Look at m force

Why are orient watches so much cheaper than other brands is it because of the movement or..?

Since we're on this topic, here are the straps currently on a few of my watches now. Most satisfied with the 7F baby hornback one custom made by strap66.

Yeah lor. Got many casings and sizes.. e.g. Luminor, Luminor 1950, Radomir, Submersible... from 40mm to 47mm...

Movements range from ETA (?) to in house movements P.3000, 5000, 9000 etc..

Dials got painted and sandwich dials.. "Luminor" on dial means no second hand.. "Luminor Marina" will have a second hand.. haha

Many stuff ah.. me also blur.
