The Watch Thread - Part 4

[josephkjc]

Thinking of hooting a AP preowned 42mm watch with a budget of $15k, and then have it authenticate at AP Centre for free,

Which model would you experts recommend? Thabks

AP Centre will do free authentication?

Sorry no love for ROO, they wear big and looks too toyish, a 42mm ROO wears like a 44mm for others.
On the other hand RO kickass, my personal fav is the dual time... Get the 39mm size, fits most wrists nicely.
There is a RO chrono currently selling at chuan watch iirc.

One Qns if i bought a Tag Link ladies online.

What are the options i can to get the bracelet adjsuted?
Dun mind paying a service charge if need to

Just go to Tag boutique. I was not charged for adjusting of bracelet and i only had the watch with me then.

Seiko is a pretty good brand as many here will attest to. White dial, blue hands, open heart, applied(?) markers/logo, looks like a winner to me. Very nice, I like it!

You can consider getting a brown leather strap too just to give it added versatility. It will go well with the overall dial aesthetics.

Me also 32, in same age group. Seems like we are too young to own big watches compared to other pals here...

nv see this seiko model at boutique or AD before. May i know where u bought this and how much? Very chio from the photo!

 

[ecan07]

Is that an automatic? Where did u buy from?

yup automatic. It's one of the watch shop in bras basah. not from the 2 family shops though. forgot the name, quite a small outlet manned by 2 ladies.

 

[ecan07]

Damage ?

it was their year end sale, 30% off so it's bought at $300.

Nice watch! Congrats!

Thanks!

Congratz Its nice. Clean and simple

Thankew!

Eh replied earlier on. It's a small outlet. Really got this at the last min in the shop. Apparently they say this model they tend to only have 1-2 pieces (it was supposed to be kept for the shop lady's dad, she said she sell to me first. hahaha... not sure true or not, so taking it with a pinch of salt). I also nvr see it at any other shops ard actually. But i suppose it shldn't be a fake? haha... The exact model i need to go home to check first though.

thanks for the advice! I think i might need a strap sooner than later cos leather straps dun last long for me! This one can convert to metal strap though, but for now i'm sticking to leather, so will prob get a brown one nxt time!

Yea was recommended seiko by pros here based on my budget, actually liked orient more when i saw them, but the models i like all no sapphire. i v scared non-sapphire i will scratch easily, so get one with sapphire first! (this one has)

300 buck so cheap............................

Just like to know the small circle window on the watch dial is it a tourbillon moving..........................

Openworked. A lot of brands also like that.

Seriously dunno what they wanna see with that tiny opening.

It's this a tourbillon watch ? Just wondering.........................

Nope not at all.

This is one thing I hate in watches personally. Is it trying to mimic a tourbillon? It got you right there. What can u see from that tiny opening? I really dunno.

 

[Jeremy1]

This watch sure doesn't looked like a 300 buck watch from what I see.....................

And some more it's Made In Japan as stated on the dial..........................

Actually purely from aesthetics reason, I like the open-hearts if done nicely, just showing a tiny bit of the mechanism... Looking at the inner workings can be therapeutic....
Only that some unscrupulous sellers termed them tourbillon to scam people.
