The Watch Thread - Part 6

[a562140]

Hey guys, what brands would be recommended for a 18 year old?

don't think brands would be the best way to go - there are just too many genres within a brand.

perhaps go by lifestyle or by functional need. E.g. are you into watersports (divers) or just sporty (chronos, pilots), maybe into formal (slim profile three handers), or looking for funky or less ordinary (square watches, antique/vintage style) etc.

 

[All in a Day]

I have a Seiko sport for the weekends and a Longines dress watch for special occasions.

Was looking at the Seamaster, Pelagos and Big Bang/Classic Fusion.

Tried the Classic Fusion yesterday, strap felt real good.

Looking to purchase this year end.

Preferably something that is evergreen

Want the look to last for years

Timeless I guess

I would not categorise anything from hublot as an evergreen. IMHO, they are 1st and foremost an APROO copy before anything else.

anyone gonna order/keen to order from globalwatchband.com that I can tag along to reduce shipping cost?

which strap do you intend to get?
gaoxing was trying to get an mo on nato straps, maybe can combine.

None of the above unfortunately

Just want something that fits an entrepreneur I guess

For all the watch lover that missed the recent Rolex announcement!

Yucks, the green words stick out like a sore thumb. Rolex trying to break the mould and catch the more hip younger rich?

Each entrepreneur also have his own lifestyle right? Maybe google 'entrepreneur watch' can give u some inspiration.

With poor workmanship some more. The screws aren't even aligned like those on an APRO.
Or is that a way to authenticate the watch?

good choice on BALL eternity.

You can visit a few 2nd hand watch shops in Singapore, like in Bencoolen, Golden Landmark and Far East. Sometimes you may come across a BNIB BALL watch which is selling at 30% lower than AD

AP ROC scratch resistance/weakness update:

Yes. It comes with the engraved rehaut. No water action, just a leisure swim.
