The Watch Thread - Part 8

[proskiwxz]

Good that they replace it for u, personally for lume issues I will leave it alone , too minor

Now that u got a new watch , don't look too closely cause u gonna find minor stuff that irks u.

And please do not send watches to service centers to get it fixed unless it's some major issues like malfunction or breakage because they will introduce new issues while fixing your watch.

haha its a flaw to me and irks me.something has happen when u send your watch to their service centers to get it fixed?

Hi experts, I'm a noobie trying to find some nice yet affordable watches to wear.

Last Dec I was in love with watches with bezels, hence I bought a Seiko SNP055P1. I'm still wearing this til today and still loving the looks of it.

This year, I'm suddenly struck by the existence of a moonphase in a watch. I found the Longines Master Collection L2.739.4.71.3, like how it looks, but it is out of my budget (think it costs about 3-4k?).

I also saw another Seiko, SRX008P1, like how it has the moonphase and the Kinetic Direct Drive technology. I think it cost slightly above 1k.

I'm not sure if I should save up for the Longines, or go for the Seiko. But then again, I not sure if I want another Seiko in my collection (esp I just bought one 11 months ago).

Anyone has any other choices to recommend me please?

One can never have too many Seiko, especially if it's different styles. And I think 11 months between 2 Seikos is already very long, I have 2 Seiko and planning a 3rd, all within 3 months

当你集表了一段日子，你会发觉你买入的表款中总是欠缺了什么。。。月相功能就是其中一个。。。
月相表，说贵嘛，有便宜的，说便宜，也有贵的。这也就视乎你的预算限制了。

平价的不是没有。石英表方面，少至不到$90的WESTAR就有高品质的星辰平价石英机芯。要更贵的，看来体面，又叫周围的表迷叫得出名堂的，也可考虑星辰自家品牌CAMPANOLA表款，功能既是复杂又精密，又能吸引他人目光。

机械的，虽然多数品牌的月象款式都处在4位数价格，并不意味没有比较经济的选择。。。
Sovil Et Titus 1887系列中就有采用海鸥ST19手搅上链机芯的计时月象表，折扣之后，大约800，如果要奢华点，红金表壳款大约900。时间廊给的保修期，2年。
没信心？不喜欢大陆品牌，可选择俄制表款呀！不过俄制表款大多数都必须上网网购，所以网路销售商选择方面就要下些功夫，仔细研究。俄制31679机芯，既是有月象功能，也与海鸥ST19一样，能计时。。。也是手搅上链机芯。
无论是俄制，还是中制，两样都面对同样的挑战。。。保修期失效之后出了什么问题，找谁来修表？俄制芯，你或者曾经听过可到汤申购物中心，宏茂桥表行找师傅修。大陆芯呢？ 。。。 。。。 。。。这也就是为何多数集表者栽在瑞士表款的选择里。
瑞士机械机芯里，较为常见的该属ETA7751一体计时自动芯最普通，再来就是双模机芯组合，如ORIS ARTILIAR的ETA2671+DD月象年历模组，后者就是那些较贵，多数为自家研制机芯。。。往往也就受预算而受限制。

你指出的浪琴月象回针款，是我在浪琴众多表款中比较向往拥有的一个。。。也是我最犹豫的一个。这回针复杂功能机芯，可算是浪琴独有的。其他品牌找不到。就因为独有，独特，“独立”，保修期一旦过时，失效，想找人整修也就困难了。。。

多谢您的提议，让我了解了许多。

那只浪琴是目前只有两款Masters系列中之一(从浪琴网站只看到两款)。既气派，又高尚，配上皮带还带有一些许独特。但价格远远超出我的预算... 照你所讲的，保修期后的维修好像是一大问题/缺陷喔。

上网看了看您介绍的星辰Campanola, 是不错啦... 但本身不是很偏爱计时功能，总觉得若要计时那就用数码的还比较准..! 也可能是因为表外有太多钮，显得有点老派.. 总而言之， 就是缺少了一点点感觉。看表嘛.. 不就是看一种感觉吗?

而至于Solvil，被您讲中了 - 中国品牌+制造，心里那关过不去（不好意思，听起来好像有点肤浅）。花个800~1200买个中国品牌，宁可再买多一只Seiko。

最后想问您，若有那笔钱，是否会买那只浪琴..?

Wahh really ah? Which are the 2 Seiko you have? And which one are you eyeing?

 

[RadEoNic]

Still haven't fully purge the poison of the blue ball eternity from my body, so I've been keeping away
Recently got bolehland a lot due to weak rm, backside itchy go boutique ssrr
Oh my.... Got pretty blue ball eternity staring at me for slightly over 1.8k sgd, but I resisted
Now really blue balls liao

喜欢就好
表戴上去，总只不是 tag 或者 Rolex, 大多数人是不会多看一眼的

... ...

"若"?
这就要看我那比钱是否花得值得还是不值得了。。。

对于多数集表爱好者来说，有那浪琴回针全月历复杂功能表的添入，对于整个收藏会有个锦上添花的效果。这，也就成为"值得"的一种。
但是，叫我挨上6，7个月的储蓄，买只只能带上两年，由于担心“操得太久”，过后只能待在表盒中的表。。。这也就变得不“值得”了。

实际点，我会选择ORIS 大冠/ARTELIER 全日历月相款式（但是会闪避目前的表款，因为ETA2671的关系），还是那些以ETA7751为基芯的表款。至少两年后不必担忧没人能修。

I got a shrouded monster SRP641 and the SNZH57 modded to FFF. Probably WILL buy a SNZH59 in Jan '16 to mod to another FFF version. Interested to mod a SNZF17 to a green bezel but no hurry.

A Snowflake GS is one of my holy grail watches, while I have also targeted the Tuna (hopefully an all black spring drive model) and the MM300.

Happy Friday the 13th guys!

TGIF guys!

I need your input on this for my X'mas gift to myself. hehehe..

Oris 65 or the Black Bay Black.

I want something that I don't have to pay much care and attention to. Something I wouldn't think twice abt entering the water with.

That's why I remove the Rolex submariner out of the picture;price. Where can I buy the oris from? I intend to view it over the weekend. What draws me to the 65 is that its it own icon. Not inspired by the submariner we see a lot these day; tudors.

I really like the black bay black. but I feel I would just take extra care if i'm wearing the watch. The Oris, u could say that its a daily beater watch, you can wear the watch care free without the voice at the back of your head telling you to be careful.

So guys please help!

其实多数消费者对于大陆品牌会存有些许排斥是正常的。。。我自己本身不也是如此？仔细的看，其实海鸥芯并不赖。只是大陆公司因为盈利，而搞衰自己而已。如果说，海鸥不将其工程设计经由特许，交给第三方机芯制造厂大量“推广”自己“引以为豪”的产品，今天海鸥集团或者也就变成中国“独一无二”的机芯厂了。。。市面上也或许不会有品质参差不齐的“海鸥芯”了。。。

市面上，网络上都有标榜着“海鸥”的芯。。。但，又有多少真正出自天津海鸥厂咧？

...Oris 65 or the Black Bay Black...

BBB 得我一票！
ORIS 嘛。。。如果价格便宜一些，能让我有多余的钱买条MESH钢带。。。也是不错的选择！

Tough choice, although I feel that both of them are still too expensive for me to consider using as daily beater watch care free. Then again you're wearing a PP while I'm wearing a OT500 right now

For me I will go for the Oris 65 over the Tudor BB for a number of reason:

1) It's cheaper, so more suitable as a beater watch.

2) The BB design is too similar to the Rolex Sub and my OT500.

3) The Oris 65 design is really unique (too many Sub homages out there), and it has some elements of a dress watch too, likely due to the smaller bezel. Although the black face is more commonly seen, I really like the new blue face that someone posted a few pages back.

Regardless of what you choose, you're getting a very good watch so no wrong choice here, only preference.
