The Watch Thread - Part 6

[slow_mo]

Well, 20mm strap on this doesn't bother me as much as a 22mm strap on this.
with a 22mm, the ends are squeezed quite visibly.

Can't find many 21 mm straps. Mostly 20 mm or 22 mm.

Cannot give clock. Must sell it to them for $1.

yes, trust me i was on the receiving end of an unforgettable lesson from my wife

 

[slow_mo]

that last clock was a photo i took of a clock in the store, waiting for the right time to show the wife

my that is a fine piece !
i'm beginning to find clocks more fascinating than watches, especially the mechanical automatons... the only problem is space!

Imagine dedicating a wall in your house to clocks!

this was actually the first AP RO i tried on two years ago. fell in love.

The AP Royal Oak 2nd Time Zone & Vacheron Oveaseas Dual-Time: Four Time Zones & One Dial?

Why u nv buy the AP dual time but Chronographs instead? Price abt same right?

A regular steel case back...
How to tell if it's a rep?

haha no i'm not thinking that way at all.... was suspecting and expecting a nicely done caseback, and I'm not disappointed at all. That's a gorgeous caseback to match the front, JLC at its finest!

I wish to own one of those grand father clocks but issue is weight.
those germany black forest ones are interesting but i heard no one really repair them when they broke down.

all clocks I own are quartz anyway, I have too many clocks at home. 4 wall clocks so far.. maybe adding a 5th.

 

[Chronology]

it's just the beginning. I've spent more on straps than I care to remember... and Azriel has probably spent enough to buy a tudor pelagos.

Well! I shall embrace it then huh? Hahaha!

Let the journey of straps begin..

lets see those pics!

my dad had one of those blackforest cuckoo clocks and grandfather clock, not sure what happened to them when we moved houses.

I still can't get beyond 1 wall clock (blame the wife!) so I've kind of rechannelled my attention to

the best clock shop i've visited is in park mall second level ... really nice vintage and mechanicals.

one of my friend's dad did just that. and not just one wall - every single wall in his living room was filled with mechanical clocks of all shapes and sizes. when they downsized to a smaller apartment he had to sell 75% of them, damn sad...

wah! panatime cheap sale but nothing interest me yet.
the burgundy looks good though

Took me a while n ended up having minor scratches on the lugs. But worth it. Rubber b is v comfy!!

And looks sporty with the new model that has a blue line on the strap.

Hey guys,

May I get a price check on either of these watches and maybe a location as to where I can get them?

It'll be my first venture into the luxury watch industry
