The Watch Thread - Part 5

[slow_mo]

change back to black paro strap... cause my 2 folds deployant came...



previous using butterfly type...



anyone interested in the deployant can pm me can help to order.. can help to install also

Which one better, 2 fold or butterfly?

$4800 for a quartz diamond gold watch is quite a tall order even after 20% disc.

Oh yeah forgot to add. Is the gold colour plated gold or gold filled? If its plated gold. I suggest to look at other watches.

plated gold will fade over time or flake and cant come into contact with sweat and perfume or chemicals

It's 18k gold, will check on filled or full.

Basically this is the price range I can afford now. Unless there are other brands at this price range that sports a rectangular face with diamonds and 18k gold that I don't know about. Is there is, hope brothers can share the info with me

What's the bezel material for this?

This is an acrylic crystal, they have progressed to sapphire crystals as they mature as a company, offering better quality (at higher prices). This is the latest evolution with sapphire bezel (but no skull):

Micro brand?! Nice looking watch.

yes, thanks. that bezel design came from this:

they have done well recently too with a range of brass watches. not my cup of tea, but a bunch of die-hard supporters out there like the FFF modders, as you can tweak with the brass finish to give it an aged/burnt look.

Which one better, 2 fold or butterfly?

2 fold is more comfortable as in less metal parts between hand and strap and is a little more easier to buckle up.... however the butterfly is more reliable cause it hold by 2 catches at the side (quick release). The 2 fold is only latch on by a thick hook. For the butterfly deployant there is latch on model too..

Nice... did you get any halios watches?
im waiting to see if they are going to release a new batch of their Tropik B or to get a Tropik SS in July's batch

Yeah Halios !

I think they have very nice watches designs, and great materials and finishing. Best of the price, value for money.

But I'd wait for the Delphin before I decide.

I actually been eyeing a used Laguna for the longest time now at the right price but haven't found one...

new poison i see.......

 

[alvin86]

thanks for the reply folks,
shes allergy to most metals, even silver and 916 gold. till date she only can wear white gold and rose gold. other than that platinum we haven try out. will there be any shops available to go down for me to take a look

 

[Nakedtoes]

super cool. not sure why, i am drawn to the skull logo on a watch:

Due to cultural interpretations these won't go down well generally in Asian societies generally... but I couldn't help myself and got one just "for the hell of it" ....although in a more discreet design:

wow dammed swee... i like the skull also... discontinued?? how much u bought?

I've only tried the butterfly latch. Will look around for the 2-fold. Thanks.

the uncle trying to smoke me when he change the steel strap to a leather one for the silver model
he wanted to swap it for the bambino strap but i told him i'm swapping a orientstar bracelet for a orientstar strap and buckle only

if he insist on the bambino buckle and strap then i'm not buying anything
so it's now a retrograde with orientstar classic buckle and strap.
not bad actually

my sister is not home atm. later she come back then i'll take a picture of it

but i can show u my watches from monday to saturday now

yah i know the orientstar is upside down

 

[Emospence]
