The Watch Thread - Part 4

[TeenTitan01]

JLC is my fav... but i am quite fascinated by this other perpetual calendar

so German...

yes the GO perpetual calender is sexy though i prefer it in s/steel or gold. it uses apertures for the day-date-month which keeps the dial uncluttered from subdials. the big date is striking & i'm a big fan of big dates of GO and ALS

Simple bday dinner...just now...

ya....it says my tao hua is very lan this year. shouldn't affect me right since i'm married......?

errr......ok maybe I should ask her to go there by herself.

maybe see see look look only......also quite a number of friends go there see see look look and never buy or decided to buy overseas.

 

[yattokame]

ok I need to clarify something......

quite a number of bros here are asking me about discounts for the watch pieces they are looking at - all I can give is standard regular discounts (which you may already get if you are a regular) because frankly, I don't know you and what if you turn out to be an undercover shopper? Don't wanna risk the livelihood of my usual SAs.....

All SAs give the same discount. Unless you are a walk-in which will be given less.

Only for my close friends and family I can get much better discounts.

Thank you for understanding

if yattokame is into cars, i think a ferrari 458 spider/lambo aventador/merc sl63amg gift will make you his newest bff. (no cheating: not model cars hor, )

or just get him the leather strap with signed calatrava cross deployment buckle for his pp.

congratulations on your good taste & discernment.

the pelagos is an excellent utilitarian tool watch. clear as day contrasty black matt dial with ar coated flat crystal if you look at it dead on, with fantastic lume like the FF on its flat, matt, ceramic bezel (i like lume ) and all brushed Ti case & bracelet means it's discreet without drawing attention to itself, yet tough, with great fit & finish, comes with both a rubber strap & a Ti bracelet with an innovative spring-loaded steel folding clasp to keep the watch snug yet comfy on your wrist. with a depth rating exceeding the sub. but hey, most divers do desk-diving anyway no? lol. oh and one last thing: iconic snowflake markers and hands!

the only relative downside is its use of eta as its movement.

if it uses it's own movement, it'll be a superior choice to a sub even if it's priced the same for it lacks the annoying fake/homage baggage of rolex, and also the mafiaso/parvenu brand-***** wannabe associations. rolex is a good watch which unfortunately is overpriced, overhyped & overexposed.

The ETA may not be a bad thing as the pelagos will be my tool watch. Probably can get parts and servicing easier and will not feel so 'heart pain' when there are scratches as it is cheaper compared to the rolex. But the Rolex does has its good sides. It is well made i feel. So its the pelagos for office, a seiko 5 for site work and a GMTIIc for the weekends for me.

 

[Optrex]

true.. but i feel pelagos and blackbay is the starting of tudor. u can see in hk, it almost rollie and tudor branding side by side everywhere..

Tudor will always be the cheaper alternative to the rollie as it is meant to be like this from the beginning. Just that i feel the tudor brand has become a sort of experiment ground for rolex to try new things like different claps, colours and material(Rolex did not have any titanium watches. Corrrect me if i am wrong).

I am happy with my pelagos and GMTIIc combination. Just feel the pelagos is less common unlike the rollie. Not many people will pay 5k for such a plain looking watch like the pelagos. But i love the minimalist look. Will probably get another watch in the future from other brands though.
