The Watch Thread - Part 5

[yattokame]

It does wears smaller on your wrist. I think the bezel plays a part. Maybe is all about adjusting and getting used to it.

why sad ? dont tell me you want to

anyway i feel like modding my bezel to the lume one which looks like the blanpain FFF

see yobokies album nearest is this

some how like look different

It wears quite tall also and that makes it look cartoonish......but i really like the combination.
Sigh
Its like finding the right girl but you two are not meant to be.

Oh btw i have a noob question about citizen eco drive.

I am supposed to let the watch charge by sunlight but the booklet also says not in a place where it can get too hot.......i dun quite get it.

So do I need to place it under direct sunlight, or just not cover the face, i.e., leaving it in my watch box with the glass window, also can?

Thanks in advance!

A peasant man watch. But I like it very much for sentimental values because it is a handed down from my father whom bought it with his first payslip.

Nice!

And no, I disagree that it is a "peasant man watch".

All watches, regardless of brand and price, are bought because they "speak" to the buyer, so inherently, there is "value" to them.

Furthermore, with such a watch history, I can say that this means more to you than a brand new "branded" expensive watch!

Go forth and wear it with pride!

What peasant watch? It's the mark of a self-made man!

I think it means placing the watch in a position where it is exposed to light (doubt it needs to be specifically sunlight nor direct sunlight) but in a common sense way, should be indoors and not subject to intense heat. E.g. don't "charge" your watch in middle of the padang (when u eating grass) or parade square at noon time

Agree. The history and value is priceless and cannot measure by $

Looks simple and classy... and it's automatic!

Thanks for the comfort, guys.
I will definitely target to keep it in good shape to hand down to next generation.
The only problem I am facing is that no one seems able to help me refurbish it. I went to K2 and Goh Seo Chun, but both rejected saying they aren't able to help...

Really really really sexy watch.

Is it me or does the srp127 worldtime look small on my wrist? Maybe because the bezel and dial are cluttered?

Hmmm.. Maybe the world timer wording on the bezel are smaller so it feels like the watch look smaller..? But the watch is actually bigger or smaller..???

Try this place: Heirloom Gallery

Look for Shawn. I refurbished my late granddad's 40year old Pagol watch there.

counterfeit is counterfeit lah... what replica??

i'm fine with homage but not fakes

 

[kazuki666]

Second on that. Homage is paying respect to a classic, while counterfeit is just trying to rip off the classic.

yatto-san, artificial light is fine. So normal indoor lighting is good enough. I have an eco-drive passed down from my late grandpa that is sitting in my room and charged this way

there was a saying, if you own a seiko watch and you visit yobokies you will lose 30 minutes.
I finally understand what it meant
