The Watch Thread - Part 8

[pwillie]

Can educate me regarding Pepsi and Coke. Are they equal in status? Coke seems to be more rare. Or is it buy already just go change to the bezel to your own liking?

No status difference i think... just different version of GMT
Pepsi is the original GMT bezel colour & more iconic (TT01 fav Bond girl ****y Galore wears one in Goldeneye), Coke only started in the 80s
Bezels should be interchangeable if they are of the same generation of GMT.

It's almost someone at Steinhart is watching us haha...this just appeared on my Facebook feed:

The poison is strong in this one..... Are they open tomorrow? Gonna go down and try out ocean one to see if it fits my wrist

 

[josephkjc]

The colours match up darn well.

Is it made of suede? But the stitching thread is really thick

Bro relax this is Steinhart in Germany, not Gnomon hahah..at first I also gan cheong thought it was Gnomon.

Highly doubt Gnomon got any OT500 yet

But if you just wanna try out the regular Ocean One, they should be open tomorrow. Best to give them a call first and see if they have the watch to avoid a wasted trip.

Actually it doesnt have to be ocean one, any ocean model also can. I assume they are all the same and should be good enough to gauge the size. And yeah.. I mean gnomon

HOKAY!!!! I MARK YOUR WORDS =p

The reason to try out the watch is more of the physical appearance...
Christine actually also let me try the ceramic version of the Ocean 1 black and DLC version.

Tbh, it really look different from website and forums... you just have to try the watch on to know...

And I thank the bros here for convincing me to go down personally to gnomon to try the watches

 

[rboyboy]

Wa wa you all making me drool for the OT500 also! Looks like poor man Pelagos ?

Haha I extrapolated the price of the OT500 at Gnomon using their current price for the DLC model and the DLC's price directly from Steinhart and also came up with $1000. Actual price shouldn't be far off.

And as promised, the two Seiko that I bought from K2:

SNZF17 Sea Urchin as a gift for my brother. He just started working earlier this year, but don't have a "proper" watch, only a Swatch, and a DW. Time for his watch collection to "man up" lol. I bought the rubber strap version of the SNZF17 but swapped the metal bracelet off a SNZH57 and put it on here.

The other is the SNZH57. Mr Goh was nice enough to not only swap the rubber and metal bracelet, but also swap the rubber strap with a tan leather strap FOR FREE. Also, he told me that he has flat sapphire crystals for most Seiko models so if you ever want to upgrade your Hardlex crystal to sapphire, Mr Goh's your man. You're not of luck if your Seiko comes with a domed Hardlex. Cost of sapphire + installation is around S$40 or less. In comparison, Yobokies charges US$50+. This SNZH57 will be given the FFF mod + sapphire upgrade once my Yobokies shipment has arrived.

Hahaha but too bad I can't buy the OT500 right now even if I want... Gnome doesn't have stock

My wallet love it when I can't buy something poisonous even if I want to hahaha.
