The Watch Thread - Part 4

[LondoBell]

Grail patek is a calatrava for me. Not a v popular choice i believe

a wise choice however

guys if given a choice, would u take a mark XVII or a supermarine 500? i know they are very diff watches, just wanna ask for opinions here

 

[balzebub]

I am also thinking on same lines, but as watch fanatics our hands always itchy one...

I agree also, now planning to downsize to just 3 watches...

I'll take the iwc. The le petite prince edition looks really classy. I feel that it lends a bit more versatility to one's wardrobe as well.

Both are really on the ends of the spectrum though as you pointed out.

Indeed very diff, comparing diver w pilot. Personally prefer pilot since i own a dive watch alrd. But rather have the mark XV or XVI. The XVII date indicator not my type of thing. Iwc should keep all fanciful details to the chrono.

Triste more power lah. Say only, buy immediately. I say say say until one month then buy. Or two months. Or never

Let's not judge by the price of the watches but really, I respect those who buy what they like and let's just enjoy the process of poisoning each other bah hahahaha

 

[ComicBoy]

Relax, your watch is as genuine as it gets. Just enjoy it. Wash hand is perfectly safe lah, no worries.



Both are chronographs with ROC being the chronograph version of the RO whereas ROO is a different line altogether.

Although both are chronos, ROOs are more aggressive in their styling and aesthetics. They are usually if not always thicker. A ROC is thinner and more elegant in terms of styling.

To differentiate, a ROC has its subdials at 3, 6, 9 position while ROOs have theirs at 6, 9, 12. There are other differences, like water resistance, etc. I'll leave it to you to explore.

Actually you may want to visit a boutique/AD to try on and see which fits better. Even at 42mm a ROO still wears quite large due to its integrated lug/thickness/heft.

Never read for 2 days suddenly jump 10 pages!

Thanks for the nice explanation!

cartier watches are really all the rage now...... just helped my 3rd friend get a cartier this month! referred to my usual sales guy and he just said two words: Andy Lau.

 

[Darkangle2]

If buy watches from shops such as HJ and Watch Arena, shd still bring the watches for authentication?

By buying a pre-own AP, may I know if you have the intention to general-service it within the next few years?

Well, personally I have no issues with buying from them. Bought from them before, trust the professionals.

The particular piece used in the advert did look elegant. Their campaign paid off
