The Watch Thread - Part 5

[All in a Day]

hello guys
what do you think of a skx007 going with a NATO strap that looks like this:

the orange is darker though.

007 black based.. Versatile with diff colours. Dont see a prob with the nato u shared

 

[wwarrior]

here's how it looks (thanks for your opinions )

If im not wrong, red tipped 2nd hand from yobokies is brushed whereas stock snzh hands are polished. if you did the modern fff mod i feel that brushed hands doesnt look nice because all the indices are polished. maybe you can bring your wife's nail polish ask mr goh dip the second hand in it?

Thank for the advice.. I have not order still waiting for dial to come then decide. Might get 55 to mod also. Problem is how to paint the tip red. Red Nail polish really can?

Btw I search and only yobokies got fff hands so how does the previous ppl mod with the shiny fff hands? Instead of the sword snzh hands?

Someone predicted the next poison is skx007.
Then my wife caught me looking at this pic.
"Wow will look like a good match with my marine watch (the 53 fff mod)"

I guess a visit to mr goh is predestined.

SKX007 is a very versatile watch. You can consider getting the SKX009 also.

I was beo-ing skx009 for the past few days.
then use a bund strap

Those of u whom recently bought the snzh watches, do you find the lume a little weak? I was watching Godzilla tonight, and after a while I cannot see the timing on my 57 le. And actually even at the start, the lume is a little weak liaoz...

Is there any way I can pump up the lume brightness and also make it stay longer like 2-3hours???

Heng practiced hoot-first-talk-later

He already practice hoot first talk later motto and u still show him Mr T.. I guess using Mr T is addictive.. Jialat, later people hoot or no hoot we also use the PIC.. Then forum for what sia.. Everyone just hoot no talk.. Then the forum will only have wrist shot and no one talking..

 

[Denieru82]

Moar poison

Gonna have 2 copies of this one.. due to some errors made during ordering the mod parts..

HK Post and Singpost damn slow.. or am I too impatient? Hahaha..

Wah.. This one look very nice.. Which Seiko mod is this..?

 

[shorty07]

Hoot first...then talk abt the watch after the hoot. Still need forum. Hehe. Anyway sorry if i copied other's watch n strap combi. Tried others but those r still nicer.

The 55 k model, the day is in real arabic words. Quite stylo.

don't rike that leh. i just got mine!

This is the hoot I'd thought it will never come... so happy to see it in my room after my trip
Someone commented I am brave to order from Taobao, right... remind me never to order from there again

Clueless about how to order, I had enlisted help from my female colleague who is a Taobao regular, but even she commented the watch dealers are not so honest.. most who advertised that the model is available on their page, actually do not have it, whats why it took about 3 weeks for this piece to arrive after much back & forth. Finally got a confirmation, and even that the shipping is slower than advertised

Model == Seiko SRP385J1
Description == 100 YEARS OF WATCHMAKING LIMITED EDITION PRESAGE
Watch Price = 2680 RMB + 100RMB(my kopi $$ to tompang my colleague's order)

Was captivated by the retro looking design (think I'm in a vintage phase now ), more details from Yeoman's blog, thought it was sold out everywhere else, but got lucky with Taobao,

100 Years of Watchmaking Limited Edition Presage – SRP385J | Yeoman's Watch Review

anyway to my lousy pics

Watch looks legit with the tags, RRP only 3200Yen, so i paid a premium for this, but can't be too sure yet since its bought from Tiongland

Retro looking dial with cursive numerals and a red "12", theres another model with enamel dial, but that one really extinct

Nice looking caseback, but it ain't no patek, but a interesting red border
Serial # 0366/1500 (can hoot 4D... huat ah)

This pic makes it look bigger, but i find 40mm watch size fits well for my 6.5" wrist

Finishing is decent and expected for a Presage range, the price is higher than average.
Leather strap feels cheapo, but deployant clasp is a nice touch, so whether worth the moolah is up to individual, but i'm a happy camper.

This is a watch i feel that can be worn for formal or casual, I decided to pair it with a suede Nato strap that i hope it would work for dress-down Fridays...

++End++

 

[Denieru82]

Great hoot bro.. Congrat..! Once upon a time I wanted it too but OOS everywhere.. Hehe..

 

[Denieru82]

Omg.. Awhile ago we debated whether smart watch will takeover traditional mechanical watch..? This is the end result which I actually find it super cool..!

Will wait for it is out and reviewed before buying.. Hehe..

 

[noobiee]

wah how much is SKX007J and SKX009?

 

[yattokame]
