The Watch Thread - Part 8

[knightcover]

The steinhart titanium 500 looks really good.

Sent from why like that using GAGT

Lugs look a teeny weeny long though. But the ceramic bezel is sex.

Guilty as charged. Went there try on 2 Steinhart watches, look at their range of leather straps from a demo book, and left empty handed.

But in my defense, I tried on one watch and realized I don't like it, and the other I'm only trying on for size, they didn't have the color I want.

LTA(NS) xuan87, SIR!

Just asking, if the sales rep asked me to self-quote a price that would close the deal, how much should I actually ask for? I scared quote too low, they will snub me. If I ask for too little discount, I will look like Roberto

Assuming the watch is around 8-9k

Bought before the Bond craze?

Or was inspired by it, and then from then on sink ever deeper into the world of watches?

Everyday I wear my omega, I imagine I'm Pierce Bronsnan, suave and speak with Ang Mo accent

Don't think they will do that... A shop right? Not Carousell!

Pardon me for being a nit-picker, but technically the column wheel chronograph movement that Omega used for the actual watch that allegedly went to the moon (because there's some conspiracy theory that the moon landing was a hoax) was actually from Lemania Cal 312.

As an aside, Lemania also produced the Cal 5100, famed for being:

1. Fugly and cheap.
2. Yet robust enough to take those G forces and approved by the German Air Force as their official issued watch for their fighter pilots.
3. CENTRAL MINUTE HANDS!!!

At least a bro here has a Lemania Central Minutes Chrono - either pwillie or a562140- or both!

Sorry bro KingJio, just realised I made a typo and factual error.

It should be Lemania Cal 321.

You dumb that's why u diam diam. Smart ppl will ask how she define worth?
Current watch selling 7k doesn't mean her old own worth as much as current retail price
And the list go on and on
