The Watch Thread - Part 7

[soilwork]

I do hit the gym haha. Maybe Shld try and look at it overall in a full length mirror haha



Not sure leh 6inch?

Wah small wrist if 6..mine is 6.7 inch. Around 17cm to 18cm. The 372 would look even bigger as its clean

 

[tckrto]

this...
it uses 9R66, no see thru caseback though, and it is pretty hefty...
SBGE029 might be a little difficult to find, but there always SBGE001 & SBGE015, but the blue guilloche dial is

Not my pic....

Had a SBGE009 the movement is truly mesmerizing. Me going to get SBDB009 soon. Simply cannot resist SD movement.

Went to ion panerai to try the 372 and 305 but no stock. So tried this for size. Too huge for me right? Looks like a freaking clock on my wrist.

I think it looks ok on yr wrist leh, if u take a photo close up , the watch looks bigger than usual. Try taking further away from yr cam

Hope all the bros here have a good weekend.

Check out my watch that is back from omega bienne , notice the scratch on the 12 o'clock index , hands were replaced under warranty but watch came back in this condn.

Should I go back to swatch singapore n demand them to send it back to Bienne again ? Or just accept the scratch and wear it . This would be my approx fifth time going back to swatch singapore for a damn watch

5 times on this watch?This Ish Madness!!
Madness??

I won't accept a scratch like that that they made for a luxury watch..

If its 4 times and still the watch has issues I'd email to as high as possible in Swatch/Omega with a detailed chronology of events and I'd post it on influential forums such as watchuseek. The issue here is not the scratch per se but the 5 times and the time it has been in repair. What were the other 3 times for?

It's a mod. Don't think you can find it "off the shelf".

1st time- remove large dust particle in movement , scared it might enter movement, watch came back with a dial flaw , possibly the paint coating of the dial came off .

2nd time- dial replaced, watch came back with a dirty dial. Dust particles found in dial without the use of a loupe.

3rd timee- dust removed but new particles appear in other areas of the dial. Scratch in hour hands.

4th time- sended watch to Omega Bienne via Swatch Spore. Hands were replaced, but 12 oclock index was scratched

i give up liao...i already prepared my email and letter. Want to send back to Bienne again next week if possible. If no solution to this, i will sell this watch and blacklist Omega and other swatch brands.

I never go back to swatch group for servicing as I don't believe in regular servicing.
Also for omegas, it's easy to go for 3rd party.
Maybe you are right, I'm not so fussy

I won't service until there are problems with the watch.
Omega parts are generally easy to source(even online ofrei)as of now, not sure if swatch going to limit that in future.

As for your issues, can't comment as our tolerance level differs, sometimes what is seen cannot be unseen, so you just have to resolve it to your satisfaction
Omega watches are not exactly cheap, you have every right to expect them to be of a high standard.

Ideally, what is a realistic "must have" rotation of watch for the everyday senior executive?
