[Vanilla Way]

Okok
So u wanna hold our hands?

Which is nicer ah?

I've always preferred RG with brown strap but the SS on blue strap is very nice too.

SS on blue strap is nicer.
If only the RG is with black needles and black 24hr dial marker

Not the best pic as its really glossy - especially the bezel - and the curved crystal catches all kinds of reflections.

i have a small wrist (<6.5" and 49mm across top) but the watch sits flat so it doesn't look or feel large.

more pictures here The blue is dark enough for a formal outing and that bling bling polished sides add to the look .

a leather brown or sailcloth blue strap turns it into a real fashion statement.

I moded the hands on mine.

This watch really swee.

Cichlid is yours black or navy blue. Cause I saw on Creationwatch and thought its black but apparently its navy blue.

I just googled a bit, there's a navy blue version that looks quite close to black, and there's a blue one

the 24 dial markers and the zone marker can rotate one?? why both is different?? btw how much is the RG compare to steel?? Personally i prefer RG

SS on blue strap, contrasts better!

Ya becos the day/night dial is in blue and matches the strap better doesnt it?

Dunno the price diff cos cannot find the steel.

"Better" is subjective wor.. I personally rather get FC worldtimer

Taste is subjective..but factual factors like brand recognition and strength, etc, IWC is better than FC.

Feel like going there but it's damn far for me. I am interested in the Seiko monster though.

This I'm not sure, usually I'll ask for retail price and the typical discount for a model.

There's monster there too iirc

I've always preferred RG with brown strap but the SS on blue strap is very nice too.

The heart says rose gold, but the head says ss cos the rg plating is gonna be the weakest link. It may look quite worn if not baby-ed well, and personally I'm quite bad at that.

 

[gumpie]

Yes vintage.

No systematic way of collecting vintages; but generally through the years mostly from fellow collectors (forums local and abroad) and shops, including ebay (established sellers only).

i just love window shopping antique watches

I tend to go through "phases" of watch types so I tend to build around "collections" e.g. square faces, chronos, divers (now), instead of brands.

prices of vintages are quite volatile though. so if you're diligent you can end up with very good deals. (not me!)

I've started to look to pickup a vintage diver too, but missed out on a Tudor Snowflake that was available over the weekend. Would you mind sharing more on how you know whether the watches are genuine or not, especially if it's from an overseas seller? There are so many fakes and Frankensteins around that it seems super risky to me.
