The Watch Thread - Part 5

[Azrielsc]

oh.. thats for left-hander. nice any ideas of wher can i source for a pre-owned pam48?

I would constantly look out in watch forums like sgroc and swx.com.sg

Unfortunately, 40mm Pams are a rarity...

Be patient, it would pop up, hopefully sooner rather than later!

Good luck!

omg omg omg omg omg omg!
love the 389

damn gian the 312!

did you photoshop the photo? darken the whole photo or use spot metering? haha

It's not a 312, but a 351. If you look closely, the watch face is tobacco rather than matt black.

Did the shots in a dim room with some backlighting (wife needs some light to read her book!) and then used PS to move the contrast/highlights/etc around and finally sharpened it. Other than that, nothing much lah. I PS-kuku.

I couldn't resist this mod and went ahead to order the SNZH57 from Creationwatches and the mod parts from Yobokies. If anyone else is interested, I've included the links to his price lists.

Modded Watch:
FS: Brand new Seiko FFF mods
Options:
FS: Custom FFF modding parts(New lumed glass bezel inserts available)

Watch fashion the snzh57 like cheaper :/

Did you get the hands and bezel? Stock bezel too chio to replace imo

Can share DMG..? Emo source it super long to get good deal till he can't resist the poison.. I wonder if yours could be better as u r from Japan..

607 sgd don't hoot sure regret

damn cool. my seiko cocktail is on the way, any idea which strap will match? The blue toad?

I think the stock strap nice lei, just read that it's a bit tough

here to save you Bradystraps.com

Thanks Donten! You're a life saver bro, any idea about the accompanying deployant clasp? I can't seem to find it on the site.

You're right, the bezel IS too chio to replace. I just picked up the hands, domed sapphire and gold dial w/ date. In fact, I think the stock SNZH57 looks great on its own, the only part I don't like is the Seiko 5 logo. In fact, looking at Yobokies photobucket, I realized that many of the seiko mods look great just cos of the changed dial, I really dislike that logo.

Dunno what are the websites to even look at. And I happen to be travelling to Germany next week.

Either I buy locally in Germany or find enough people to share overseas shipping.

the more popular one is hirsch straps, i'm eyeing their deployant clasp for my GS...

Ya man, it's all about the dial for this mod imo! And the strap, MUST go with sailcloth

can you compare the finishing of omega with grand seiko ?

Any different feel on the material ?

Care to share ?

not too sure now, as this has went through quite a few generations, hardly see this model now...
best bet to go chrono24 for overseas buyers?

comparable, wont lose out on finishing.
only thing i cant get used to is the weight... a bit too light, as this is titanium alloy, but the mirror finish is excellent.
but my friends GS is using SS, so the weight is more alike to seamaster.

actually im always curious of watches finishing, material finishing

brand vs brand side by side.

even at the extend of using scope.

especially omega vs rolex vs grand seiko...due to their close pricing.

too bad i dont have all these to sit side by side for me to look into detail.
