The Watch Thread - Part 4

[edchys]

It's a nice watch.

I pick the R. I dun like the two extra buttons for O.
but then I dun like the numbering outside R. feel so reduant. .

U do need to understand and appreciate that the various buttons and numbers on the bezel exist for a purpose on these watches. No doubt 9/10 of the watch owners would hardly make use of them. But at least they should know how to use them if they want to

My fun hoot, brings back memories from my JC days..

Anyway these are e few that caught my eye even though out of my budget at e moment.

1. Zenith EL PRIMERO CHRONOMASTER 1969
Was afraid it might be too dressy for my t shirt & jeans attire.

2. Tudor heritage chrono. The grey n orange version. The blue one looks great too but might be too loud...

3. Omega seamaster & planet ocean.

4. Omega speedmaster

I love the Zenith piece and the Tudor piece the most. Kept having their images in my head...

IMHO hoot the Speedmaster 3570.50 or the zenith...if you want a more versatile watch, the speedmaster, it will wear well with business attire or casual. Forget about the tudor as much as i like the design of the heritage chrono, just feel price wise it is too high for what you get.

The seamaster and PO are dive watches, different style altogether from the speedmaster, heritage chrono and zenith. But they are also very versatile pieces, if you want chrono function, both the seamaster 300m and PO comes in chrono flavours as well...

I have watch with additional buttons and it works like stop watch.

then u just need a watch that just tells the time and possibly date lor, so a 3 hander plus date complication is good enough...

Awww.. just when i thought i had decided on the omega speedmaster, my friend had to poison me further by bringing me to try a Rolex Submariner ND.

I had tried both watches and they looked nice. Ohh such a dilemma, both watches are icons of their brands and looked soo good.

My mind says Speedmaster, but my heart says submariner. Any bro can help me out here.......

Mine says hi!

bought from a dude who got it from zurich. According to swatch boutique here, we won't see the sistem 51 in stock until april-may this year at the earliest. So far quite happy with it, looks better in real life than in pictures, the strap is very soft and comfy, though i might want to change it to the leather one from the black sistem51 if that is even possible. The dial is busy but can still tell time quite easily and surprisingly there is lume on the hands and hour "dots" which made it legible into the wee hours of the morning/night.
The movement is noisy especially when you move your arm about and the auto winding rotor kicks in. Another plus is that it hand winds and the winding action is actually buttery smooth although noisy, no second hand stop feature though. Date does not change immediately at midnight but takes a while starting from 12am.
Now if it delivers the time keeping accuracy within specs as promised by Swatch and also a full 90 hours power reserve then it is actually quite an interesting time piece. I set it almost to the second against "time.is" and this morning it is at +/-0, will continue to monitor over the next few days until next week...

Swatch became what it was today selling funky plastic watches mah...but seriously yeah i am waiting for them to stuff this into a irony casing then at least part metal haha.

Speedy retail: S$6,300
Sub no date retail: S$9,650

Yah so difference is there.

That's one of the factor that caused my mind to say speedmaster but heart says Sub ND

Speedy retail: S$6,300
Sub no date retail: S$9,650

Yah so difference is there.

Speedmaster pro 3570 is retailed at $5950, while sub nd is $9750. Discount also diff

but all seems to say sub leh, no supporter for the speedy pro?

Haha. I know e tudor piece might not worth the money. But my left brain is now not in sync with my right brain.

I managed to find someone willing to let go his tudor at below 4k. Meeting him later in e day. Hopefully everything goes well n I can have e watch before CNY.

Wish me luck.
