The new Marine Master surely takes a lot of attention. Out in Jan 2015 at estimated price of 280k yen

Actually the case size looks small just by comparing against the lug size and strap.

Was at watch shop to get a watch bracelet extended

After that was done, browsed for new watch

Looked at a few wand sales executive was prompt to offer some discount

Highlighted the fact that as returned customers, can give further discount?

She promptly offered that it's possible and asked for payment mode

If pay cash, pay 2% less

If need credit, they have 40 months installment option

That's like mor than 3 years

Why would anyone want to spent more than 3 years to pay off a watch which is not even a necessity?

A watch is just a tiny item, not worth so much if one cannot afford it

SBDX012 looks good! and i'm guessing those presage watches have enamel dials?

might be


judging from the curved corners of the date window

and how deeply set the date disk is, indicating an extra thick dial

 

[sharkapl]

the date looks odd on the SARX027
i guess have to see the real watches before deciding, as of now currently leaning towards SARD007

btw the SBDX012 should be 1000 pieces only according to some forums.

Seems that it will be a limited edition release afterall.

 

[rachdanon]

Poisonous!

The dial looks cramped. Would look better IMO if they either increased the size or made some elements like the dots smaller, less words etc.

 

[a562140]

Are ETA movements frowned upon? I'm interested in a Tudor and it seems like they do not have in-house movement, i.e. using modified ETA movement.

yes its frowned upon by some. (not me).personally i haven't found a movement that pleases everyone.

what is your concern about off the shelf movements? or why are you attracted to in-house movements?

 

[kiatkiat]

Poisonous!

hope this limited edition have sapphire crystal and a signed crown.
