The Watch Thread - Part 5

[Henabi]

Mr goh must bev wondering how come si many people buying the same seiko model

 

[chickenbackside]

So what do you guys think about which dial looks better?

My thought process:

Yobokies -
1) cleaner look without the numbers since there are already 5 numbers on the bezel
2) option of no date, which I prefer
3) the black bay style indices don't really gel with the style of the watch
4) the proportion of the bezel font size to the indices are a bit off, making the bezel look slightly oversized

Dagaz -
1) the numbers on the dial makes the watch look a bit too busy with 2 sets of prominent numbers
2) I prefer the indices here as the are longer and make the watch look more balanced
3) I cannot delete the date

What is a man to do?

I like the 2nd dial cause I can't stand wo date.. How much is the 2nd dial?

 

[yattokame]

In all my years of watch buying, I've never felt money so well spent. $188 for a in house manufacturer automatic watch with a nice beefy leather strap to boot.

Totally agree pal. Totally.

Dagaz gets my vote. Personally prefer a date. Design stays truer to the original FF as well. The pros here seem to outweigh the cons.

By now, after you tell you want the watch, he'll immediately offer you the sailcloth strap.


This thread really cleared his sznh stocks. I got the second last piece today.

 

[ceestudent]

Is this SKX007J or K version?

I think in a few weeks' time he will be busy modding our watches!!! Hahahaha

Ah, after digging a bit more, I answered my own question.

1) The numbered dial only comes in silver applied indices, which will not work with my gold hands and bezel
2) Both Yobokies and Dagaz sell the gold applied Black Bay style dial, but Yobokies' indices are slightly bigger, and thus better proportioned for the watch

So there really is only 1 choice: Yobokies.

I read it somewhere last night. It's pretty dismal, at only about 24 hours.

That's why I want to delete the date on the dial.
