I will in the future when I have more spare cash. I am aiming to get the Sub one day, just doesn't make sense when now when saving up for my first house is more important than a Rolex.

Rolex, along with Seiko, is the only truly fully integrated watch brand, so they are able to maintain high QC on every step of the watch making process. They may command a high price, but at least I can see why and am willing to pay for it, unlike Tags or BNR....

Tags are ok. They are workhorse as well hahaha

Or in Seanie way

Tags satki hor! Brad pitt, tiger woods and ronaldo all wear TH. Who wears Rolec, only chinatown ah pek loh.

i had the honour to physically hold rolex sub, rolex gmt, rolex exp II, exp I, rolex SD, rolex DSSD and compare them side by side...

SD and DSSD... too big for me. too thick as well. feels uncomfortable around my wrist.
Sub... the bubble back feels uncomfortable resting on my wrist.
exp II... a little too casual for me, because I am working in office environment and the natural of my role requires me to be in suit sometimes...

therefore, its down to exp I and GMT... both feels extremely comfortable on my wrist and suits the nature of my job scope...

will I hoot one??? well, my financial position currently allows me to indulge in a few entry-level luxury watch pieces but my family's condition states otherwise...

and like all in a day commented... its more important to indulge responsibly

nice!!! matches your skin tone very well...

btw... OT500 is expected to land in Gnomon end of october or 1st week of November...

According to Christine... even thou Gnomon is Steinhart dealer, but the company never commit on delivery of the watches to Gnomon. many-a-times , when Steinhart have stock, will suka suka ship watches to Gnomon.

Just realised that my tudor day-date is well into its 1st year with me ^.^

1 year 3 months liao!!! taken on a 23rd day as well

 

[Sukisa]

Happy 1st Anniversary to your smiley Tudor.

 

[crashed]

Thanks. But they're for watches with straps that open up.




The last one is the only one that I like, but at $200!!

Looks like I might end up buying a bulky 3-watch case after all...

These might be suitable. Saw them either on this thread.. or some other forum.

I adore exp I's dial. Clean, simple and neat. nothing more, nothing less.
Dressy and quiet.
The bottom half of the face is not cluttered with wordings like other rolex sports watches.

their stocks for steinhart watches always low one, can put $50 to reserve.. once watch in they will call.

 

[pwillie]

For me when buying a watch it goes beyond logical explanation of value, bcos a 3 hander mechanical cannot beat a cheap Quartz in terms of function vs $
So it boils down to the emotional appeal, which means how much your evil psyche is telling you to get that totally unnecessary piece of sundial for your wrist

additional information:
the face glass is slightly domed, as seen in the picture above. The inner side of the glass has AR coating.

According to some of the owners, at certain angles when you are taking lume shots, you will be able to see blue hue reflections, something like below...
