The Watch Thread - Part 5

[pwillie]

on the same line with cushion case dive watch... armida a7, any other model that beats the value of this ?

Never heard of this watch before... But the brass one looks quite good.

Oh! Dam, thinking of getting strapcode's but not sure if the end would fit the lugs as neat as yours haha

I think a strapcode shld be fine as well as long as u order one with correct end links.. 007, fat spring bars in our case..

Check out other watch forums for reviews of strapcode oyster bah.. dun recall coming across anything too negative..

But best reviews (and most expensive) one out there is the wjean oyster la..

Oysters here oysters there... making me very hungry...

[yattokame]

That's why I brought two watches to Adelaide!

I wanted to......but need to look after 2 elderly and 3 kids. No time to worry about so many thjngs so just brought one.

 

[yattokame]

Really appreciate.

As for must go.....

2014 is disneyland's 30th anniversary
Bullet train (shinkansen) 50yrs
Tokyo station 100yrs
Def a good time for japan.

Sensoji at asakusa is the typical tourist spot but worth a visit.
Tokyo skytree is new so might as well.
Akihabara is a must go for electronics, anime, manga, AKB48
Tsukiji for the fish market
Shibuya to see the multi road scramble walk
Harajuku for takeshita dori, meiji shrine, omotesando
Shinjuku just plenty of shopping I feel
Ueno has this "street market" called ameyokocho

These are the few places i never get sick of. Just keep going back again and again.

Haha told you to bring both to Japan that day already.

That poor 305 is languishing in its box now, wondering why it has been neglected. Poor guy..

Just changed the OEM strap to a Straps66 Buttero No.130 strap for the Pam 512.

I think it matches the marker colours nicely!

And of course, the lume shot!

Wifey is happy... Now I got to find 22mm straps for myself!

Cheerio!

i believe you still have space in your watch box? how about a jdm seiko for yourself and a jdm casio for the kids!

 

[a562140]

Never heard of this watch before... But the brass one looks quite good.

quite well known microbrand, super value for money. based in HK but quality is superb (like many microbrands these days). their high-dome crystal choice was a big hit, and so was their bronze watch case, which many took to modding by accelerated ageing for a quick personalized patina. amazing guys do it with all kinds of stuff e.g. eggs, chemicals ...another poisonous bunch over there.

Yatto covered most of the places
I will add to these, mostly for food (but this are subjective, my personal fav, YMMV)

Shop:
high end shopping - omotesando/aoyama

Eat:
Senoji temple nearby - 大黑家 quite different tempura
Misono for waygu
Misokatsu Yabaton @ Ginza
Kyubey sushi (very good sushi & non-Jap friendly)

if you have more time, take shinkansen to Kyoto and spend 1 or 2 nights there.
Walk up the shop trail up to Kiyomizudera and explore

Love Hokkaido. Went for a summer and winter trip sometime back. Love the fresh seafood, weather, flowers, fruits etc.

I dont like Hokkaido in Winter... nearly got trapped in Sapporo due to heavy snow.
but everyone else who went during summer/autumn told me its great, i think i should plan a trip there again.

Sunday Spa.. Aaaahhhh....

For my 007, not me..

Anyone "washes" their metal bracelets in mild soapy water once in a while like me?

Me..I use a soft tooth brush to clean between the links with water and mild soap.....
