The Watch Thread - Part 8

[xuan87]

Sorry, very new to this watch hobby. By style, does chronograph watches qualify as a type of style?

Looking for a watch that I can wear as both a dress watch (when I'm in the office) and casual watch. Nothing too complicated on the watch face but simplicity don't cut it either.

Yes, chronograph does narrow down the list quite a bit

My recommendation for a dress style chronograph (you can tweak it to look more casual with different straps), swiss movement and under 1K SGD is Christopher Ward's C30 Malvern Chronometer. Right now there is 15% discount from the US site (not sure if you can use it with the UK site) until Christmas Eve, sweetening the deal further. My email mentioned free shipping, but not sure if it's free domestic or include international shipping too.

Price after discount is US$701.

In a dilemma currently, any advice for my collection much appreciated!

Thanks and Happy Monday!

That's a collection!

well you have a few watches which belongs to the same group:
DIVING
- Seiko MM, Steinhart ocean 1 (Black+red) + (Blue+red) + Black Ceramic, Roelx Sub+date, Omega SMP x2 (different size), Tudor Red Black bay, Tag Heuer Aquaracer, Breitling Superocean?!

Dress
- Rolex DJ, Cartier Santos?!

Pilot
- Steinhart

Chrono
- TH Monaco

iirc, the bezel for Steinhart is interchangeable

and I agree with All in a Day... trade a few of your divers for a Dress watch (JLC reverso) and maybe an Omega Speedy

Whoa! Have so many Steinhart! Sell me cheap cheap!

Nice to see a Rolex user owning Steinhart watches.

Wonder why? Also, what kinds of comments do you get when wearing them?

Agree with the rest, there is already sooo many divers and a lot of them look similar. Why do you want to get Rolex EXP2 42mm Black or Omega PO 2500d (Orange)?

Can consider other options like chronographs Omega speedy, Tudor blackshield or even a Daytona.

Remove all the Steinharts, get a tuna.

Given only the 2 options, I'll pick the Explorer 2.

But like what many others suggested - Ever considered swapping out a few divers for a dress watch and/or one with chrono features..?

Save up for a Blancpain Fifty Fathom too if you like the design. An iconic diver that serves very well as a dress watch.

maybe a IWC Portugieser Automatic Chronograph?

or just get a clean face watch. no date, no day, on seconds hand... just markers, hour and minute hand.

Remove all the Steinharts, get a tuna.

big tuna or mini tuna? but he already have a MM liao wor... is it the same type of watch?

Sounds like PAM 000, 112, 372...

But I think the IWC 3714 is a very handsome watch. Still thinking if I should pull the trigger when I'm in Japan (much cheaper there) and if there are stocks...

TOURBILLON!!!!!

一眼望过去呢，就发觉你少了两款。。。一，是运动款计时表，二，是那能与正式服装相衬的复杂功能表款。

虽然运动款多数为潜水表，但是看起来还是少了些狂野。作为运动表，戴起来要够轻。这里你可以考虑买入STEINHART APOLLON计时表，可以一表三玩。外圈可应你心意作不同改变，再添入三条不同色的皮质NATO，作为外圈陪衬。。。够你玩的啰！

。。。倘若你不喜欢你的运动表款太复杂，也可选择APOLLON三手款。

至于能与正式服装相衬的表款，添加个月相功能，选择那些镀金壳，还是半金的都可以。虽然说你那“戴好嘢”摩纳哥不是运动款，与正式服装嘛。。。依我看与休闲便装更相衬。

计时表并不算是款式，而是附加功能。
款式的定义，或者众位师兄们也许不同意我的看法，但我们还是要正确的归类。
就以STEINHART产品目录来看，基本的款式可以主题分为，运动款()，潜水款()，军款()，飞行员款()，配装款（DRESS?），海航款()，赛车款()。。。以设计来归类。
每款可有不同特色。。。此时就以附加功能，(如计时)来定义。

如果你想找既能与正式服装相衬，又能配搭休闲便装，STEINHART 航空系列计时表能做任何配搭。

出席晚宴还是聚会时，配上钢带，既正式又或者能引人注意。。。相比之下，总比其他人带的普通正式设计，来得不普通吧？
休闲便装配搭，选择与裤子颜色相衬的NATO皮带够随性吧。。。？
