The Watch Thread - Part 4

[RadEoNic]

wah liew bro, you need to up your game leh.

ne'er mind. stick around good watch sites & watch forums and learn more (we're all learning).

you know my feelings about (more like against iwc for overcharging for the level of design, movement (eta), fit & finish of their products, just like omega).

if you like german watches, continue to explore glashutte original ...

... and never say you can never own a ap, als, pp or vc. it just a matter of motivation, budgeting and getting rid of all unncessary fluff & distractions (that means no more unnecessary spending on other watches) & concentrate you ion cannon on one iconic piece to rule them all can liao.

flash that and instant win against the posers & wannabe rolex wearers around you.

serious.

pardon me bro, but iconic chrono si:

1. omega speedmaster professional 42mm moonwatch.

2. rolex daytona.

3. zenith el-primero.

if you're hardcore racing fan, than you can include tudor monte carlo, heuer monaco, heuer autavia or heuer carrera (but absolutely NO TAG EVER!)

iwc? no where on the radar - at all!

 

[TeenTitan01]

I've said this before and I'll share it again.

When I told the manager of lamborghini (many yrs ago) that I cannot afford to buy one, he told me
"It's not whether you can afford it, it's WHEN you can afford it"

so... still itching to get that raging bull?

lambo gallardo's replacement, the lp610-4 huracan has been announced... looks like a baby aventador. lip smackingly swee! chio!

Heuers still can buy meh?

only pre-owned vintage bro.

if you're super keen on 60s/70s style racing chronos, tudor released their heritage chrono based largely on their monte carlo (but lacks the date magnifier at 6 o'clock, which is a pity).

but stick to any/all of the top 3 i listed and you'll be snug as a bug in a rug. they are the icons & staple in any self-respecting watch gentleman's (was tempted to say nerd, lmao) collection.

after you collected the primary foundation tier, you can start building on it with 2nd tier watches like the tudors, heuer, etc.

make sure the bezel is a tachymeter and not some rotatable bezel.

for crying out loud, racing chronos must have a tachymeter.

unidirectional rotatable bezels for divers.

bidirectional for gmts.

these should be ironclad rules.

The ferrari 458 italia is my dream car for now.

Sadly it will remain only a dream......

read yatto's quote. its when u will get it bro.

 

[yattokame]

There's this very rich businessman from america who dresses up as batman and drives around in a lamborghini, going to children's hospitals and entertaining sickly kids.

That is my target when I retire, hopefully by 40, or maybe 45. Going around doing charity work after dropping the kids at school. Need not be in a lamborghini but if it makes the getting around enjoyable, why not?

Really need to work and stop spending so much money for now

 

[hwaa]

and oh... happy valentine's day to everyone here!~ spread the love!~~

i'm not so sure but she really likes the gallardo spyder.

I think my mentality is already at mid-life, I kid you not. But nowadays I really prefer a smooth and quiet ride over the aggressive sportscars. If I'm chauffeured even better.

als lange 1 moonphase in rose gold, ah. mai play play, hor.

glad to see you up your game: make this your grail watch. your tt daytona wearer won't know what clobbered him on the head.

if he dare act ignorant, just ask him take photo & go google it up.

either he'll piss or jizz in his pant. prolly both.

wah liew, kena unclefied (opps i mean gentrified) at such a young age liao ah?!

hokay, no worries, no problemo, actually your s300 is already a pretty cushy ride if you've the airmatic suspension option installed.

otherwise can consider lexus if you're not averse to japanese engineering (some people only swear by german engineering) - a very smooth and quiet ride guaranteed.

for chauffeuring, only a bentley or RR will do imo

i was told by a friend who wears a similar rolex to this:

that i wasted money on a watch that no one has heard of
i wear a stowa chrono.
then he say isn't german watches not very good. i actually want to tell him glashutte is from germany..........then i figured that he won't know cos when i told him actually seiko's movements are actually comparable to etas and that not all japan and tiong movements cmi, he laugh at me cos he say he do alot of research liao and it's not true
i told him abt grand seikos and cosc and he just laugh it off.
i feel like an idiot

I have only 4 words to say to these type of people.
