The Watch Thread - Part 5

[kiosai]

Steinhart Ocean is expensive.. but Swiss versus Jap movement la..

Or can try Invicta 8926 lor, running on seiko movement.. but need more modding effort la like bua-ing the casing and all..

Not sure abt availability of inserts for invicta watch.. maybe the original Rolex ceramic will fit? Didn't check the dimensions..

Hi

This is the Seiko SNZH53 poison as requested

Very nice watch. Your photos are very impressive as well

 

[lingalong]

I bought it at Skywatch at $170 but I would recommend that you buy from K2 instead.

May i know your reason behind that? Was looking at creation watches. Any views on that website?

Lately, Panerai is getting too common liao. Whenever i was on the go, always saw people wearing it.

Look like going to replace Rolex soon as the most popular watch brand here.

Hard to replace Rolex given that Rolex's different models caters for a wider range of people.

With the issue on the PAM 318 Brooklyn Bridge Special Edition, Panerai's reputation was affected and lost some fans as well.

Hello, think got 4 color variations. Snzj 53,55,57,59. After numeral if k is make in msia, if j is make in Japan. J I can confirm. K I can't. From k2 is without box fyi. I regret not taking the pvd. The scratches could have make very nice war scars.

Anyway, any idea if I bring in mm300 how to declare at custom? Do I need to declare? Cuz if I go and cheap, I want bring in a few to sell at cost so more can enjoy. Though going on Sept, this will be General interest check. Maybe 1 to 2. But a small deposit required in case fly aeroplane. Curious how many interested.

My interest in watches is spilling over into getting a good camera. My hp pics cannot be worse. I dont even own a proper camera.

Ya his photos super nice...I think more importantly he needs to post his camera pic!

You just got lucky. They DO check.

Triste, that time did you declare your Daytona?

No, but that's because i wore it straight away and used it.

Don't fool around with customs to those who are reading. They check and there is an entire office dedicated to making people pay customs, with credit card terminals ready.

I guess the best antidote to poison is erm.. to hoot!

Called Mr Goh to check on avaibility in the afternoon and he brought it in by 6, very friendly uncle as many have attested to. Got the J version. Will be wearing it stock for a while before exploring the mods.

Really time to cut down on my buys..
