The Watch Thread - Part 6

[balzebub]

To enjoy my watches, I try not to look hard for flaws. Unless it's glaring and easily seen by naked eye..

if its a bad batch, then the AD should be proactive in returning to goods. as long as warranty is honoured then i think its fine.

lume uneveness though i think its a grey area (pun not intended). some folks are fine, others want perfect evenness. so its caveat emptor or buyer beware.

compare this to design issues in omega's coaxial movement (both the 2500 and 8500)...a normal customer won't be able to tell what movement version he has and whether he has to bring it in for an upgrade before the warranty is over.

1 year n a few mths old bah, didn't really notice it first time.

If u do a google search, it's quite common but mine is quite bad cause most of my index n markers have like light grey patch in mid of the while lume.

It's still white when u dont stare at it but if u delibrately stare at it n and a close angle, I can see it...


Don't think I will send it in, almost all my watches have been sent to their respective service centre during their warranty period before, most come back with more issues, would rather live with it.


I have never gotten a perfect piece that has no cosmetic n timekeeping issues wadsoever , dono i suay or wad

I dunno leh. When I first see the "flaw", whether "self-inflicted" or not, I will stare hard at it. Cuz only I know where it is.

But after some time, I just got over it and get to enjoy my watch instead.. cuz I guess life is too short to get angry and sweat over such stuff..

no, all good. also good on several others that have passed through my hands. none of them are the recent ceramic dial ones i should add.

My father have an acrylic factory . Maybe he can. I need to check with him. But maybe taobao sells

 

[njchay1981]

And his name is called Russell, if memory serves me correctly

whats the difference ah? overhaul and restoration?

I brought my omega seamaster (sorry peasant here) and was served by the ang mo lei. Overall experience was good and receive my watch in like 2 weeks as in was just quick servicing (demagnetize and movement check). No dust

 

[BallGag]

I like it. It's huge, but it sits nicely on the wrist. Don't really like the bracelet though.

 

[Panzerf]

limited edition?

Yes, bought it as a limited edition. Not very limited though ,999 other people has this watch.

 

[kiosai]

Well.. no gray lume spots for an aftermarket part.. im happy.. but there are imperfections in other parts of the watch though..

It's your choice to wear it wif confidence everyday or wallow over its imperfections..

Some of us here also wear our scratches on Ti watches like a proud patina.. ;-P
