ya man. when i was younger like 20, i thought it look uncle.
so i went for tag heuer cause of the bracelet (and also price la :s13:)

but now it looks pretty awesome to me! maybe i am growing old. seeing things differently now
love the clasp! lucky i didn't pull the trigger on the carrera CV2010 when i was in vegas outlets.
but still looks good. if can find a pre-owned below 2k, maybe can hoot. saw one going at 1.8k usd but its pretty bad cond.

yeah it is a little bit sad in that sense... there is a slight difference in value between the two - but this watch is slightly newer.

what happened to the dual time? and how long did the service centre say it will take?

Send the watch to check cost/ whether able to change to blue dial and also check whether there is a conversion kit for other types of strap like leather or rubber strap.

I considered the speedy when I got my cv2010. I didnt know much about how popular speedy was that time or about movements etc so I just bought based on looks. The speedy looked too busy whereas the cv2010 looked smarter to me with a well proportioned dial layout. Hee... It was an innocent objective decision.

Dear Experts,

First time watch buyer here. Was introduced this brand Orient.
Did search and found that BAMBINO COLLECTION are really really nice and within my budget. Few question here.

Two model/colour caught my eye however i need to try to see if it fits/suit me.

I googled "K2 MR Goh at Tanjong Pagar.
And also some said online purchase is much cheaper.

If two model suits me is it advisable to get two pieces?

Please advise!

Looking at it now.
Really speedy dial more busy looking. The cv2010 was my Grail that time but couldn't afford it.
Still very good looking piece.
Haha see can source for a cheap pre-owned.

Nice shot!

What is the half black/white subdial for?

night vs day for the 2nd time zone!

similar concept to the pam 233 with dot dial, the idea being that you should be aware of the night/day in your current zone so the indicator shows the night/day in the 2nd time zone that is being tracked.
