The Watch Thread - Part 8

[runningman123]

Rather pricey for a replica, actually.

At that price, I rather go for a Steinhart, a Squale or a Sumo.

At least I know I own something genuine and respectable among the WIS community.

ps. I just realised all three watches I suggested started with "S"... super!

yea,but the build is quite good compared to other replica,can't find such a good replica leh

ya, i got 5 or 6 watches, hard to give them wrist time already.
haha i think a couple of solid one is the way to go.
sometimes have to sell some to make way for new one.

my speedy is seeing significantly less wrist time. i only wear once or twice every 2 weeks.

if i ever hoot mm300, i think my 007 also will see less wrist time. hahaha.

now mostly wearing pebble, 007 and tissot for work. weekend then bust out the pam and speedy (pam more) haha

Oh crap, when you mention pebble, that reminded me that I might get the Moto 360 V2 in the near future too #facepalm

 

[runningman123]

but funny that a person can come ask if its fake when the price already says it all.

unless the guy trying to sell at 11k then maybe you come ask.
690 LOL no need talk confirm fake.
because no idiots will sell a SD or any rolex at like 5% of its value. haha

its a fake,but seems like no one is able to see right thru it,u can't deny that the workmanship is good

Should consider wearing your speedy and pam for work more. After all buy and don't flash at work (ok lah, more like admire them while working) is a bit of a shame, no?

Anyway bro gaoxing84, yours are all excellent choices, no fat, all lean muscle!

Sometimes watch wearing got season, a watch may get more wrist time for a while before another rotates to take its place.

As for your pebble, do you think smart watches will eventually edge out traditional watches, given that some people find it more useful? I mean unless the fashion allows for wearing watches on each wrist, once you slap on a smart watch, the traditional watch will have to take a hiatus, no?

Your thoughts, gentlemen?

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.

Have you done the water droplet test to see if the watch crystal is sapphire, boh?

 

[jkohlc2]

Seiko SBPY085

No one calling it out doesn't mean it was not identified as one.

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

1) Breakdown a $10,000 Rolex = $500 (raw material plus assembly cost) + $4500 (overhead cost, distributorship and dealership cost) + $5000 (marketing budget, all the cost of commercials, ads and celebrity endorsement to create the brand)

vs a brand like CW or Steinhart:

1) Breakdown of a $1,000 CW/Steinhart: $500 (raw material plus assembly cost) + $400 (Overhead cost, sell direct) +$100 (minimal ad cost)

Of course, I'm leaving out things like R&D and designing etc but it should show my point.

This is the reason why Christopher Ward started CW. He was in the watch industry and saw that big brands were selling watches at 20 to 50 times the raw material and assembly cost of the watches because of additional costs that come with being a famous brand. He said for CW watches, he's selling them at 2 to 5 times of the actual raw material costs.

This is another reason why microbrands can thrive as a niche product among watch hobbyists, because only watch hobbyists can see the true value in a watch while the general public can only see the branding.



The racing green bezel is my 2nd fav! Fav is still a more boring black on black with brown leather strap.

Will post my wrist shot but unfortunately won't be so soon haha.

Photos from Googleee

Looking forward to more wristshots of Christopher Ward's watches here

Any owners? Especially for the C60 600 Trident. Thank you in advance. Cheers.

Group CEO and Executive Chairman of the Board, dai dai kor iceflight has already spoken!

Correction, good folks!

The suggestion to curb the BBB urge DEFINITELY DOES NOT APPLY TO OUR GROUP CEO & EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD, dai dai kor iceflight, ok?!

Firstly... When did become I CEO or exec chairman of what board? I'm mostly bumming around.. What do you expect of a guy still in Hwz....hahaha

吹吹牛ok lah....

This dai Kor thing is making me feel old... Stop reminding me I'm old can?

BBB so far lucky can afford but still curbing is a good virtue...to clear some things I do buy a lot of darn expensive watches... Some for myself, many are gifts necessary for business, quite a few on behalf of my friends , great for my miles on my credit card.

 

[PiPiChew]

The brutual truth is that a watch is like a drug, so watch collecting hobbyist are all fellow drug addicts, egging each other with greater & more exotic highs!

But a habit with no negative social costs, lah. So relax!

Haha I also keep wanting more and more but poor student no money. Now is dunno to get a Type B so that my Type A can get "married" or to get a diver for variety. But no money don't want to talk so much la got moolah to really buy then I start to talk more

Well excuse us if we proffered genuine, honest advice hoping that you wouldn't inadvertently be ripped off buying a fake, fradulent and farcical product that may very well be funding criminals and terrorists.

So you want to be congratulated on being a successful fraud, is it?

Not gonna get it here, bub.

Now go on your merry way and don't let the door hit you on your way out.

So loaded and yet still so humble. Respect lah.

Old is gold bro! Young at heart and stay healthy can already liao.

If can afford, why not? It's not as if you're not depriving another soul with your purchases what.

At your level, I'm sure your charity donations are also .
