The Watch Thread - Part 6

[Lezzare]

Nice heroic18 , over usd$2.4k for montres a little too much for me. Enjoy your young one and watch!
HEROIC18

I managed to nego US$2,000 for it, but still felt its overpriced. I'm waiting for Heroic18 to release the SS version early next year. In my freetime now, when I'm not on watch forums, I'm watching my son, and my wife gets jealous..lolz.

6 years ago, you can buy a 2252.50 for $2,550 retail price and it came on metal bracelet.

6 years ago i could still find a plate of chicken rice for $2.

Just acquired a 8 years old Sea Dweller over the weekend and decided to do some general cleaning, especially inside the bezel that has accumulated quite a bit of dirt.

After the cleaning, the bezel turns like new and clicks with authority.

And while I'm at it, I decided to also clean up my Submariner...

seiko and orient fan here, swiss watches are bit tab exp for my pockets

For quartz, 4K... even after 50% discount... hmmmmm....
imo, better off buying Seiko or Citizen

It's a high accuracy thermocompensated quartz that is COSC certified ma. Plus the brietling brand power....

Not very many watches out there with similar movements. Only Sinn UX, Certina DS series, certain CW Limited Edition Quartz chrono models etc

But of course Citizen chronomaster, Grand Seiko also have their own HAQ movements..

But price for all the above 2k and up, except for the CW which is cheaper..

Your mm300 very cheap hor

 

[iamvintage]

Planning to get a Seiko sarb035 for some time liao. Chino/higuchi good place to get?

Any user reviews for this watch?

Can get from Big Time. Can check out their page for price. Their price is quite competitive. And you can check it out before buying.

its cheap if u know where to get it and considering u r paying for a grand seiko movement, not some common ETA movement

The name "Sea-Hum" sound like singlish

 

[Hisokaka]

The name "Sea-Hum" sound like singlish

it is purposely named that way. I bot it coz of the name and the fierce look. Azimuth is a local watch company which uses ETA movements and comply to swiss standards

From my understanding thru Alvin Lye (or was it Chris?) it was supposed to be the "Sea version of a Hummer" hence the name sea-hum. Overseas market wouldn't know what a sea-hum (cockle) is.

Maybe he smoked me hahaha

I remember some, if not most Azimuth watches were unitas movement......iirc. Their factory in Bienne so yup can use the term "swiss made".

I used to like Azimuth watches a lot - in fact I had 5 of them at one time. Local company and friendly pricing......

Dickson giving 25% for breitling

Think it cheapens the brand giving discount like that. Won't Breitling come after them?
