The Watch Thread - Part 8

[xuan87]

Hi guys, looking for a recommendation for a classic looking watch for work. Something that is simple. Budget is less than $300. Any recommendation? Maybe something like Tissot Classic Analog Display Swiss Quartz Black Watch or even Daniel Wellington Dapper or Brathwait

You can consider the Orient Capital also, it's currently available on Massdrop for US$85 w/o shipping in 3 color options.

Just adding that the Capital is quartz movement while the Bambino is automatic.

Wah seh!!! Henabi I m very impressed wor... Yr canto n Chinese ��赞！

广府话应该系我打得多呱？
Hanebi师兄的回应，华语比较顺，掺到些少广府。。。我仲睇得明0既。

我先前4，5个回应尽量用台语。。。唔通打错？

WHERE'S THE LINK, PLEASE??? Thanks!

It's from Bodying.sg, exact link please pm me. Not too sure if the website is safe but saw some negative reviews.. Not sure if they still have it instock as I reckon the model is quite old. And price wise too attractive alr

Anybody bought from Bodying before?

唔好意思呀...我嘗試用廣東話嚟諗嘢...但係英文is so much easier.

这里是新加坡，不是台湾。冇人識講闽南语。大家識講福建話.

For your information... taiwan hokkien is a dialect. 90% spoken 10% written.
Why 10%??? For taiwan hokkien songs and drama.

可惜。。。我嘅英国就無咁好。。。

 

[Ed.YEO]

咁就大镬啦。。。
英国唔得，福建唔得，华语唔得，马来语识得少少一块块。。。广府话咧，只有几个师兄睇得。。。 点交流呀？

 

[Henabi]

唔使驚啦... 有Google translate.

新加坡人識講广东话... 但係打字用普通话和英文.

 

[Ed.YEO]

咁，师兄你估得到我系麽身份？
中佬，港佬，台佬，坡佬？

 

[confusedboi]

cultural exchange haha

never had the chance to ask.. SO FAST WANNA FLIP your North Flag?!

Classic case of buyers remorse. North flag doesn't speak to me.. Realize like dive watch designs more like black bay/ submariner type

 

[confusedboi]

Maybe wait for the Black Bay to be outfitted with its own in house movement?

That sounds appealing not sure if that is going to happen though. May take many years.

 

[Henabi]

就算知道你的身份...有差吗?

在这里, 没人会去计较你是哪里人...

都是知表,赏表,爱表的人...

I consider black bay as a really iconic divers watch.

you can look at steinhart ocean titanium 500 ^.^

Orient Bambino. No ******** from this brand.

Wow, the 2 watches looks amazing. Thanks for the recommendation guys, will definitely look further into these 2 watches tonight.
I was looking around at Brathwait review. Seems like some people are saying the second hand is a little off. Anyone has had Brathwait and maybe could give me some input/review?

Hopefully not. The Pelagos just gotten the movement so hope it's sooner rather than later that the BB gets the update too. In the meantime, you can do as Henabi bro suggest.....

Was just checking out a Squale Militaire vs Steinhart OVM thread when I came across a mention of the Steinhart OVM DLC. Went to search for it and One of the most gorgeous watches I've ever seen. It's a pity Steinhart discontinued it but I hope that means a version 2.0 is soon on its way.

No bro BlitzStryker, have never bought from Bodying before.

Did a bit of research on that Omega Speedmaster. It's an automatic based on the Valjoux 7750 that's been OOP...
