The Watch Thread - Part 5

[Panerex]

The following lume pic is shot with a Samsung S3 phone. Shot in broad day light. I placed the watch near the side of the armchair where there are shadow areas. Charge up your watch lume with the hp touch and switch your cam to macro mode as you are going focus near the watch

Thanks for the illustration.

Unfortunately, iphone cam does not have macro mode

From the story of 伦文叙 and 柳先开 la..... Hahaha

[Nakedtoes]

Lai lai lai for everyone's benefit

thank you... mr goh going to find his HP ringing none stop

Solid collection! I only started on the 57, now thinking of getting the 55

Wow u got all 4?!
I must admit 57 looks well with that paros (or wvr it's called) strap. In the steel version I prob wun like it that much, maybe just personally still hasn't got to really like silver metal strap. Can prob only go for black metal haha

not mine collection lar...

I find I'm getting more adventurous also, 1st taobao then Jb...
I'm not hardcore vintage collector, can only based on the reputation of the dealer... Happened to stumbled on this jb dealer online quite some time ago while searching for a particular omega model.
Only tip is to do enough research to make sure the price is reasonable, but authenticity is depending on experience ,and if the dealer is willing to open up the casing to let you view the movement inside, it will be even better.
Google to get a picture of what is expected.

Never know how to appreciate vintages. Prefers my watches new!

 

[TidusSG]

IF IF IF I recall correctly, it cost like 3.8/3.6k after discount...

but really take it as a pinch of salt, I could have mistaken the price with another watch. But definitely around 4k mark or cheaper cause I got aim this piece before and my budget is 4k and below

The blue one is quite faps also wor

edit:

blue one

Iirc steel is at usd$3550 and gold is. Usd$4100
Usd to sgd local retail price so far is like a 1.5 conversion.
Discount is like 25-30% with FC in the past.
So I would budget at ~sgd $4.2k for the gold and aged $3.8 for the steel

I believe I posted the price after typical discount before though it escapes me now. If you are hardworking can look through my post. Should be within this year.

Otherwise your friendly ADs are just a phone call away. Don't be shy.

Thanks all! AIming the blue one actually.. will start hunting for it in the shops now

How you guys take the lume shots?

Via camera phones?

1. Dark room or places with deep shadows
2. Charge the lume with handphone LED
3. DSLR is the best, manual settings, RAW files
4. Tripod
5. Shoot and shoot and shoot
6. If need be, use Photoshop

Have fun!

And yet I've been reading they're exactly the same thing, just different markets and hence took different shipping routes round the world

:/

Think people just want to see the "Made in Japan" on the dial.. I'm guilty of that too
