both are equally good, i will suggest getting the Nomos if it doesnt cut a deep wound
significant price difference though :s22:

PS

Been lurking around but haven't been posting often. Just to share a pic of the new strap I just picked up for my new crazy project. Using actual Hermes leather, cut up from a Hermes belt.

Too busy today... No banana for the banana shot!

My oldest watch is a 1990 watch, a gift from my mum in 1998. Still serving me well today!

I was almost going to get the Deepsea but upon scrutiny it looked like a submariner with a double chin, for lack of better way to put it. The chunk of metal that is the case is too big for the bezel, and for Rolex the focus must be on the classic design of the dial and bezel not the metal case. Also the strap is just 21mm and tapers really too much to just 16mm!....for the hunk of a watch that it is. For watch this size, strap should start at 24mm and taper at most to say 22mm. Saw a lady with a Deepsea once near Sim Lim, looked not bad on her.

I do find the Sub C's metal bracelet too thin as well. Can't they not tapered the bracelet!?!

this thread is really good for young aspiring working adults like me.
not towards being materialistic.
towards the sense that there are so many people that have made it in life.
this will spark me to want to do better in life.
to enjoy the perks of enjoying life.
to work really hard towards goals that I have set for myself.
to be successful in life and make life a enjoyable journey with little or no regrets when it comes to an end.

lol just suddenly thought of it when studying for exam.

i'm currently awaiting to serve my NS but yeah, after i got poisoned by the different mid- to high-end watches i'm motivated to study hard during uni :) so that i can get a good job and afford the watches i've always wanted. :D

Haha! Yes, you remember the old me!

I think you'd probably not recognise me if you see me now, just like most of my friends.

Put it this way, the last I saw you, my pants were size 40. Now I wear a size 30.
Good job. I from size 38 to 30 now. Haha

I love this thread too

I learn how to appreciate watches of all kinds. I'm fortunate to see photos of all spectrums from mechanical, manual wind, quartz, digital.
