The Watch Thread - Part 6

1985 Citizen Quartz

Just curious: has anyone actually bought watches from Chrono24 before?

Yes, the prices are indicative, most can negotiate.
but problem is a lot of sellers dont like paypal, so no buyer protection
even if they accept paypal, they will ask you to bear the 4% transaction fee.

heng suay one... since they do not have any reference system like ebay.
some have online store, which they will transact from there.

How about the SKX007 with a super oyster bracelet? Price of about 250.. Evergreen too!

You would need to top up about 100 bucks or so? (Guesstimation) for the super oyster bracelet though.

Thanks for the recommendation.

Looking for leather strap, budget around 500, for young working Adults.
What are the brands I should be looking into. Please advise

Hahaha!!

Yup.. From Anthony of Straps66.

He punched for me the buckling holes on the spot.. Probably with a different tool I guess? lol.

I bought mine a year ago from another strap maker, hence the different buckling hole design!

Wear it in good health!

MAURICE LACROIX PONTOS DAY/DATE

Model Number: PT6158-SS002-19E

The best-selling watch in the Pontos Collection, the emblematic profile of the Day/Date model is now available with either a black or two-tone dial to enhance readability. Its deep, radiant finish emphasizes its functions, underlines its timeless elegance and confirms its distinguished character. Under the sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides, the demeanor is stately. The domed dial is marked out by applied indexes in pink gold with imposing outlines. Their tips highlighted by luminescent material seem to clamor for attention. The faceted hour and minute hands, also tipped with Superluminova, seem only too eager to comply. They follow their course over a somber backdrop, illuminated by a radiant, sun-brushed finish that seems enhance the size of the dial thanks to its majestic brilliance. A date aperture maintains a very discreet presence at 6 o'clock. The day of the week is displayed at the other side of the dial in an arching semi-circle.

The two indications are daily accomplices in recording the passage of time. They are each revealed by a section cut out from the surrounding mass, forming their own small niche and providing esthetically-pleasing contrast on the dial.

The 40 mm diameter case holds its own with alternating finishes. There is a subtle alternation of polished and satin finishes, the former reflecting the light, the latter capturing it, in a quest for classical refinement that extends even to the choice of the ML143 caliber, recognized for its impressive efficiency and reliability. For lovers of fine watchmaking with memories of the chronographs of yesteryear, a retro design with a vintage look is also available. On a black or silvered dial, the rail-track pattern for following the seconds indication is highlighted in red and blue in a truly classic style, thus matching the metallic blue of the seconds hand.
