The Watch Thread - Part 8

[gaoxing84]

I'm sure he knows he bought a fake.

He came here to seek assurance that it can pass off as the real deal.

Not being judgemental, but like I said previously, a towkay driving a merc can pass off wearing a fake (but why should he?)... but a peasant draining his entire life savings on a genuine rollie will have people assuming its a fake cos only the financially imprudent will choose to do so.

That's very true. The harsh society. That's why you support seiko so much. Haha never get judged. Seiko is just seiko. No nonsense. No fake or whatsoever.

if ppl saw it thru,they will call it out,as u guys are straightforward so if really can't see thru it,theres nth to be ashamed about

Congrats, this watch will really show that you have made it in life.
It goes well with your SPU univ cert.

 

[gaoxing84]

IMHO, bro, you should wear more of the Speedy and PAM... Spend so much $$ liao, but only wear on weekends a bit sian. That's what I'd feel.. Haha..

Haha. Time to time will wear during work. Haha appreciate the thought. Haha

 

[gaoxing84]

It's Friday!!! TGIF everyone and chill out!!!

This was in the mail last night!!!

How is it ah? Haha not sure if I shld have paid more for the steel. But so far, loving my plastic pebble time Haha

Wow xuan you are a young but deeply respectable guys. Not onlt did u not join the rest to hantam me but you gave your truthful useful views. Thanks man. Zhun bor rolec raw costs only $500???? Knn. Then i suspect GS is same. Where can i buy CW in sg got boutiques??

You can read this link if you want on the CW philosophy. Prices have been going up in recent years and I wonder if that's because of ETA movements becoming more rare and hence they having to pay more.

They frequently have sale too, and also put up sales of demo and display units so you never have to pay full price. Right now, there is free global shipping and $75 off your purchase if it's >500usd. But I'll wait for the black friday sale, should be 15% off.

I'll love to get the C8 Regulator from them one day!

Pam Friday. After 2 weeks of not wearing.

Pam Luminor has a very unique design and i came across an article earlier in the week that spoke on it too. It's a very simplistic design but it somehow draws you in.

Lol I didn't say I wanna be low key? Where did you get that from? I usually wear my pam on Friday.

Low key as in I don't flaunt. Lol I not seannie. I not out to seek for recognition. I small fry. Lowest life form in civil sector. Lol ppl probably think it's a huge ass Nixon or Armani exchange watch. Lolol

gaoxing didi is havoc king lar. I already know he wanna go clubbing liao. Tdy fri night out leh. He no car. If got car he busy xian zgabor lo where got time here tok so much. Tiobo? Lol. Just admit it.

Any one interested to trade their Rolex subc 114060 for two watches? 98% condition almost new Tudor north flag and 88% condition grand seiko spring drive sbga095? Both watches are full set still under warranty with boxes and papers. Want to consolidate watch collection.

 

[patryn33]

That's an even closer service interval compare with automatic/mechanical!

Service interval much like a Quartz watch.
I got a credor and was advice so by seiko jp

Sad but true...

I was just looking through CW's trident range the other day! I like both the C60 Trident 600 round and stripes ranges. There are ALOT of color options but some of them are just really weird! Especially the blue bezels, they just seem.... too vivid to me. But what jumped out to me is that the Trident seconds hand, very unique.

Ultimately, even with the occasional 15% off for CW, I feel that the Steinhart OT500 represents better value with its titanium construction, and better movement. Overall, the impression given to me is that the Steinhart is more "sporty", while the CW is more "dressy", if that makes any sense.

My previous price limit for buying watches was $4k (bought a pair a Tudor BB for me and wifey).

Now is $1k ..... My CW and Steinhart saying hello:

Incoming modded Seiko 007 and Zelos Abyss. And last night just got my wife interested in a Seiko 5 Blue FFF mod!

Xuan didi, can help me get a CW? Or where can i get one, do they have a retail boutique here in sg? Thank u

He just over simplifying to make a point
Micro brands like CW weed out middleman so no boutiques

Come on your ISP only let u get on EDMW?

Now brands like below can score better deal

Damn you poisoning me with this watch! I was just drooling over it this morning, since it has the same design language as the C8 Regulator but at a much cheaper cost.

It's probably just me but I find that aviator watches are looking more and more similar and each one is hard to stand out with the exception of CW aviators. Right now my focus is on divers but my first aviator may be from CW.
