The Watch Thread - Part 7

[yattokame]

Agreed.

Or frederique constant moonphase also not bad really.

should I go for a nice pre-owned reverso for the same price-range.

Yes you should. You already have so many sporty watch, time to get a dedicated dress piece.

But if u feel like another sporty piece do remember the reverso started out as a sport watch.

 

[techead]

I have the current (swiss) pieces on hand (Very sports skewed), not including the various orients, seikos and citizens I have.

Rolex - Explorer II, + (vintage heirloom DJ = cannot be on regular rotation)
Panerai - 164, 305
Omega - Moonwatch 3573, PO 2500 (45.5mm), Deville Chronoscope
Tudor - Grantour
Tissot - Veloci-T Automatic Chrono

So bros, any advice for the dress piece? Should I go with the OP when it is released?

No German in the family?

[rachdanon]

^ GO ?

Anyway since u said u bought too many too fast just take a break la.

the darker dial is even more impressive. i am seldom surprised by 3-hander dress watches but is a really good - especially that movement inside - and will give grand seiko a run for their money.

darker dial even more impressive to me:

I like very much. Must start saving $$$ leow......

if i were to get a seiko for my first watch, should i get it from places like city chain etc or creationwatches.com ? is creationwatches good and trustable? seen some of their price were half of those in local shops.. But shops now have 20% etc

Try online store like www.seiyajapan.com.
citychain is too overpriced.

Yeap you can definitely try getting from creationwatches, I bought my seiko watch from K2 (it's one of the shop located at Tanjong Katong Complex)

Hi guys.

On the subject of my humble collection which had been posted for your viewing pleasure over the past months, too lazy to post a group shot. I am looking at filling up the gaps in order to have a watch for all collections. I do lack a dress watch. I saw that Rolex had released a new 39mm Oyster Perpetual, would that make a decent dress watch or should I go for a nice pre-owned reverso for the same price-range.

I have the current (swiss) pieces on hand (Very sports skewed), not including the various orients, seikos and citizens I have.

Rolex - Explorer II, + (vintage heirloom DJ = cannot be on regular rotation)
Panerai - 164, 305
Omega - Moonwatch 3573, PO 2500 (45.5mm), Deville Chronoscope
Tudor - Grantour
Tissot - Veloci-T Automatic Chrono

I will be looking to trade pieces after I acquire the dress piece and not add on further(beyond a Heuer Monaco if I can find a vintage Steve McQueen piece). Think I have pretty much gone insane in a year of acquisitions( I initially had nothing but my vintage heirloom DJ + PO 2500) , taking a toll lol for somebody below the age of 30 and a wage-earner.

So bros, any advice for the dress piece? Should I go with the OP when it is released?

looking at you collection and if you intend to go safe then rolex it is.

otherwise the less beaten path could bring you unexpected surprises: JLC and FC maybe but I'd recommend Grand Seiko, Nomos and Zenith for different reasons.
