The Watch Thread - Part 8

[xuan87]

Is the Seiko SRP 653/655 suitable for small wrist. I feel like buying it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the two models you quoted are Baby Tuna models, so smaller than the full tuna but larger than the shrouded Monster that I posted before your post.

Personally, I feel that Tuna are best on smaller wrists? Why? Because due to its extremely circular design and the additional shroud, it will look better appearing as oversized on a small wrist, lending the watch more presence. But that's just my opinion, you should head down to a watch shop and try it on for yourself, to see if you will like it appearing oversized on your wrist.

hi is that your watch? may i know where to get that strap?

Nope not mine, there's a few straps that looks the same, Brady strap is one of it. I got mine from eBay though, slightly cheaper.

Unique. Won't be mistaken for another watch, that's for sure!

Sure does! Quite interested but sadly, it's quite big for my wrist

I'm trying to find a more water resistance strap that is black with gold or brown stitching. So far rubber and other straps I came across has red, white, orange or yellow stitching. This Bradystraps Sailcloth strap with gold stitching looks good, but uses Nubuck leather inner liner which is bad for me who sweats quite easily

Oh! You're right! The case diameters are at 50.2mm, while those for the baby and emperors tuna range from 47 to 49 mm.

A small part of your money will go into the ceramic, most of it though, towards the branding. Rado is well known for use of innovative materials, but ceramics is becoming more and more common nowadays.

If u are really lucky, custom will stop the parcel and ask u to go to Paya Lebar SingPost HQ to show invoice and pay gst, then issue u the goods.

But most of the time, seiya parcel will just appear with the postman on your doorstep, that's it (as in no need to pay gst).

Bro chickenbackside, on behalf of the HWZ Watch Thread bros here, I apologise!

We got eyes, but no see Tarzan!

Of course you fly private jet! *smacks forehead*

Huh? What's a boarding pass? Queueing? Booking? Be at the airport 2 hours before gate opens? Choose a seat? ... Never heard of them!

"Gunther, I'll need the jet to Tokyo in an hour. The missus and the kids are coming along. Make sure you file the flight plan ASAP and have it all fueled up and ready before my Bentley arrives. (Muttering under the breath) I need to get away from this haze hellhole before I throttle the necks of Peter Lim and his ilk for for privatizing their gains and socializing their costs, those greasy palm oil mudderfarkers...!"

"And by the way, get Wolfgang Puck to prepare my usual at my Malibu house within 15 mins of me landing. He knows what I like. Send my other plane to get him from France..."
