Was thinking about the tudor watch for a long time yesterday and today.

In the end bought it with no regrets. Now time to consolidate the watches not worn.
Will be reducing collection to the exp2, this tudor, the black seiko monster and the omega seamaster quartz.

If anyone interested in the grand seiko springdrive, the tudor north flag or the blue seiko monster pls pm.

Black and white brothers.

The BB isn't a watch that comes by very easily. 350pcs world wide and he has at least 5 in the picture. The fact that the seller has so many at the background, I m raising my eyebrows. The next most impt question is..how much and does it come with box & warranty card from a legit AD from anywhere in the world?

A brand that does the design and out source manufacturing in Far East using stock jap mvt. Even real I don't think it command over $1k. Labor and materials even sell at $399 still can make big profits.
Making in China not hard for contracted factory to make more and sell.

Even when my family was working for Ralph Lauren sourced factory 20 plus years ago they are bringing stuff out to sell. RL took precaution not to sew brand label in such plant then. When u don't oversee manufacturing under close watch not hard for such thing to happen

jin swee ... been sitting on the fence for this quite some time ... dunno whether to get and which colour to get ... too less money and too many things to buy :(

If I'm not wrong, you have 3 options right? Black dial with silver case/bezel (SNZH57), black dial with black case/bezel (SNZH59) and blue dial with silver case/blue bezel (SNZH53). Someone posted a photo of this a few pages back. I'm personally aiming for the SNZH59 version.

The real thing is on my holy grail list! It's either a Panerai first or the FF first.

BBBB ( black bay black bezel) cost SGD 4,680.
No discount at all :eek: :(:(

Red and blue versions should be able to squeeze out 10-15% discount:o

Cool and can understand on the lack of discount... it is too new and in demand now for discount lol. I will kop when the leather strap version is out :)

Ahem.. I think not the right place for ILLEGAL REP discussion wor..

Buy a decent Miyota watch la.. Micros provide good value for money..

Definitely not the place to discuss fake watches but we will openly show the knowledge if someone needs to know how to identify a fake.

As the originals are breaking news grounds (like Seven Friday owners can now scan their watches online and register. Something new I learn), so are the people making high grade rep.

Therefore I think the knowledge part is extremely important

So I feel that it's important to share the knowledge about how to tell real and fake apart with our naked eyes.

Homage are welcome here. Fakes are not.

Bro, those links that you posted are not dress watches. Dress watches for known for being smaller in size and thin (so they can slip easily under the cuff of your blazer and long sleeves shirt) and the face is very simple and easy to read.

A good example of a cheap dress watch is the Orient Bambino. I wore to a wedding yesterday and also posted up a wrist shot.

And an Orient Defender to start off the week! I love that the casing is a glossy beadblasted hue instead of the normal shiny sheen. While the textured leather strap looks compatible with the watch, I feel it's very low quality and will be looking to swap it soon. Maybe a black or grey leather Nato to give it an even more military feel.

依隻係Nomos表款中最平,亦都係最小的一款。算係入门级Nomos啦。本地价钱唔清楚,德国网商卖920欧罗,仲可以扣税。
