The Watch Thread - Part 8

does the titrium tubes have problems?why the second hand shine so much brighter than the surrounding titrium tubes?when they are all
made of the same,shouldnt they glow at the same brightness?

sometimes, it's the angle of the light shine on it... something got to do with physics for light

There is no way to know unless you compare another piece to yours in similar lighting.

The photo could have been taken from a longer exposure.

hey, got a question, my sub bracelet the last link connecting to the clasp is very stiff. is it working as intended? if not able to get rsc to adjust?

Just recently or all along, bro?

My bracelet was initially stiff in places and "squeaky", but that went away after about 1 month of getting it.

When you bought the watch, the staff used too much loctite to glue the screws in so it wouldn't drop out. Too much and it will make the watch stiff. You can bring it to RSC to ask them to wash out the access loctite on the watch. This usually happens when an amateur staff does the sizing for you. Seen it happen on many Watch Palace and THG customers.

Saw people posted that the new pelagos smurf is out

 

[cloudwane]

Anyone knows where to purchase loctite 222 purple low strength in SG? Have any of you used that before?

 

[cichlid]

Good morning bros, quite long didnt post here

 

[trickle_on]

Saw people posted that the new pelagos smurf is out

Yeah. Emperor Watch had 5 pieces in.

I had the option of getting 1 but passed as I didn't see the sense in paying full retail for a piece that would soon be readily available with AD discount.

Blue pelagos is nice.

Hi guys, I recently saw seiko srp385 on yeoman website and was instantly hooked on it

Is it still possible to find it locally? I did saw it in taobao but is it safe to get from them?

Option 1
Buy the original Speedmaster Mitsukoshi edition, which is quite rare.

Option 2
Get a 42mm speedy with either 1861 or 1863 mvt

Source dial and handset from Ofrei
*OME-064WK3052031 - Dial
*HAN-4246 - Hour & Min Hand
*HAN-4247 - Sweeping Chrono Hand

If you want exact look to Mitsukoshi edition then you need to purchase additional silver sub-dial hands. For better contrast, I chose to use back the original white sub-dial hands.

Bring watch and parts to Lu-Ann Vintage at Far East Plaza for the swap.

Guys any recommendations for a watch around 2k++ looking to get 1 for my dad. Was looking at sinn and steinhart.

Try Damasko. Very durable and value for money for under 2k.

Trying to decide between a DA46 and DA47. I like the lume on the 47 but the blackface 46 has a more military look to it, thoughts on both?

White face tends to wear a lil larger, so for small wrist people like me I would take black face.
