ok time to break combo and dig out a previous beater. i know many don't like titanium as it picks up scratches easily (but is easily polished off too). but i love it for its rugged finish/patina which matches the tobacco dial perfectly.

titanium is also more resistant to "edge-dings" compared to steel, due to its superior hardness, which will be seen over time.

and unlike steel titanium feels "warmer" to touch so is much more comfortable on hot humid days.

Hehe nice shot. Bro did u manage to change to rubber strap on your own? Been looking to do it without going to RSC or the AD .

 

[RadEoNic]

I think you guys should ask mr Goh for bigger discounts
Just ask him to look how fast his stocks are shifting

Is that a Pam 240 with a tobacco dial?

And yes, a titanium casing does help "hide" scratches! Just need a glass fibre scratch remover pen and you are golden, or in your case, TITANIUM!

Want buy dial and strap together to mod?

 

[Emospence]

OH
MY
GAWD

Odd, most pics I've seen of the modern FF mod doesn't look this good

 

[chickenbackside]

What do I need to get to achieve this? I need a SNZH55. Just another dial from the hongkong? And for the strap?

Quite simple lah.

Just the watch and the dial from Dagaz (US$35 including shipping). The strap Mr Goh has.

 

[Emospence]

yea, i heard its abt a day too. thts why im still hesitating to get it

anyways my seiko cocktail hav arrived. Its awesome except for the strap.

Why leh? Too tough?

Where the pics?!?!

 

[Emospence]

So what do you guys think about which dial looks better?

My thought process:

Yobokies -
1) cleaner look without the numbers since there are already 5 numbers on the bezel
2) option of no date, which I prefer
3) the black bay style indices don't really gel with the style of the watch
4) the proportion of the bezel font size to the indices are a bit off, making the bezel look slightly oversized

Dagaz -
1) the numbers on the dial makes the watch look a bit too busy with 2 sets of prominent numbers
2) I prefer the indices here as the are longer and make the watch look more balanced
3) I cannot delete the date

What is a man to do?

One vintage homage, one modern homage.

GET BOTH

I gotta study a lot more photos of this combination.

From what I have seen so far, this particular picture has special mojo that make it look better than it actually is...

The bezel seems a little odd..

That's the thing. It's cheap enough to consider, and that's a dangerous thing.

I can already foresee that I will like one more than the other and wear it more often, but in the scheme of things, it will ultimately still receive limited wrist time in the rotation.

So cheap isn't so cheap.

Vintage for me! Maybe that's why I like my BB so much

 

[chickenbackside]

The bezel seems a little odd..

What I find inaccurate is the dial looks bigger than usual, and the thickness of the bezel thinner than usual, making it more proportionate than it really is.

Just compare the pics of the same watch on this page. The one I posted looks a lot busier although it's exactly the same combo.

CBS, you damn poisonous lah!
