The Watch Thread - Part 5

[Nichi]

Worth a read by watch lovers on the chemical differences behind lume provided by superluminova/lumibrite and tritium tubes..

One has half life of 15mins, the other one is 12 years..

tritium tube is good. no "recharging" needed

got a tritium tube keychain many years ago.. still glowing

All's well that ends well yah?

The green strap is really nice. It was actually my very first strap, I think... Also was ready a few weeks/months before my 1st Pam (351) arrived! Hahaha!

Have you seen the Amazon series by Gunny? OMFG!

I haven't tried Kainheritage even though they do give good discounts over at SG-ROC. Personally, the straps seem more machine-made rather than handcrafted. I hope I am wrong. I am trying to pull the trigger on them but nothing attracts me at the moment. Maybe I should just save up and go for Wotan instead...

Polished case with brushed buckle? I have tried the combo with my 219 but it just seem "off" to me. No right or wrong, if you don't like it, swap out the buckle, unless your buckle is a GPF one!

As for the next Pam, it will be revealed in due time... IF IT EVER COMES!!! A big fat clue... it is different from what I have at the moment!

amazon? sold over in amazon? lolol or the series is called amazon?
i think kainheritage should be machine made cause the length are standard.
they are giving sub buckle similar to those selling at horotomo!
might get the brush version together with a grey calf strap to see if it goes well with polished case. lol.
its all screw in buckle. lol. if not boring, all polish buckle. lol.

i got feeling is Radomir or a stainless steel submersible!

[All in a Day]

Hi, i am currently stationed in the UK but ill be coming back to sg in a few months time.

Could anyone tell me if its cheaper to buy in the UK or singapore? I heard it's cheaper to buy in singapore as the ADs give a much higher discount. The watch shops in the UK dont really seem to give any discount and the watches on sales are usually quite ugly.

I am interested in getting an omega watch. I dont have enough post counts to post links though Its the AQUA TERRA 150 M OMEGA CO-AXIAL 41.5 MM. How much would thiswatch cost in singapore?

Cheers.

FWIW, I got an IWC from Selfridges and the price after VAT deduction worked out to less than grey shop (not individual seller) price in Singapore.

Came up to about 27,28% or so off RRP in Singapore, but that was at a time where the GBP was weaker (1.9+) too.

That is why I hesitate to get from Kainheritage. I don't doubt their quality, just that I would rather have someone do customisation on the straps instead, IMO.

Changing buckles also is part of the fun too since we can get customised buckles but the price for them can cost as much or even more than the strap itself!

Have fun!

By popular request from my colleagues at work.

On a lady's wrist. For VW's reference.


Everyone is keen in getting one now. There wasn't as much interest in the bambino but this one takes the cake.

A few more wrist shots on my hairy arm

female or OL that wear oversized watches is OMG.
damn hot. haha seen a few OL(s) wore pam! very nice.
it's like wearing boyfriend shirt. haha

when OL wear smaller watches = classy but gives the aura of don't play around, i am serious!

lol just BS around but i feel female can pull big watches but not too big like wearing a clock!

haha i want to customise my name on the back of the buckle but not sure can do laser engraving on a pre v buckle. any suggestion?
doing on a pre v buckle gives me the freedom to change whenever i need because its screw in.

let me order from kainheritage and let you know. haha the interesting thing is that they provide leather pouches which is good so i can keep all my straps into 1 place. the hard cover pouch is quite spacious, i think can fit 3-4 straps easily.

yea.. references to the anime/manga bleach as well

makes me wanna meet him in person liao lor... hope he won't crush me with his firm hand shake sia...

 

[rachdanon]

haha "hand-stitch", "hand-made", "customised" so yea. haha but first time buying, try try lor. may revert to normal straps if i see no difference.
OEM is way way over-price. so straps maker price it slightly lower and people go wow and since they think people who can spend thousands on pam, don't mind paying.
anyway, straps uses very little leather material. i think cost of it is $50 and $130+ for "workmanship"

i see those more than $200, hell no! haha

btw this anthony replies quite guai lan. i tried to be nice, ask questions but he give me one word replies or the way he speaks or portray himself. like he is popular and he doesn't give a f about another singaporean buyer.

let's see after i meet him up, his attitude better anot. afterall i paying him good money to make a strap for me.

so far, not a very good experience.

Yup report back. Maybe he busy, and over email it is easy to read emotion into it which may not be there.
