Nomos is a good but 2k will just get u entry level ones but great built!

Stowa is another option
Or you can try limes http://www.german-watch-shop.com/limes
They use mainly top grade ETA.

Or just go grey! Go KL to see and collect

Look at Louis erard too.
There is a dedicated on tag

Tag is extremely well marketed. Issue is you be spending $$ on their marketing. Lesser known brand you don't have to pay that much into their marketing or their brand ambassadors.

Ppl here enjoy watch brands that put $$ in making watch not in their advertising I guess.

Ppl here on past threads had bought from grey at thewatchery or ashford before so no risk they selling fake. Run some searches

"戴好嘢"嘅广告打到太响，加埋佢地系多個国际赛事赞助商。。。依D成本就更加容易加係产品零售价身上啦。

Gnomon is revealing Squale 50 Atmos Gnomon limited edition this Friday. I am holding off my breath before deciding between Squale, Steinhart Ti 500, and couple other watches that I want. Arghh!!! So many watches, so little money

fully agree.

there are some fellows here who love tag heuer.. iirc, strawberry cream is one of them.

i myself also like tag heuer, especially certain carrera models.

but then again... its down to individuals. some buy tag because they feel that its cool. like CR7

 

[messi7]

An old pic for the wrist-shot.

And of course some other pics to poison you further..

Would say it's a pretty versatile watch. One thing many have mentioned is the long lugs that Nomos is (in)famous for, but now that you have tried them on I guess that's one worry less for you. Buy what your heart tells you!

Thanks bro for the wrist shot.

Have narrowed down to Club and Tangomat.. now have to see which WOS have club with the cream dial to try on

If tangomat, with or without date is nicer?

This price is before tax. Just add 7% GST to get the price that you'll pay at their shop.

Gnomon is revealing Squale 50 Atmos Gnomon limited edition this Friday. I am holding off my breath before deciding between Squale, Steinhart Ti 500, and couple other watches that I want. Arghh!!! So many watches, so little money

Yea, I saw that too, the Squale CEO will be present. Unfortunately I won't be able to attend due to work.

It'll probably be out of my budget though, in general, Squale watches are more expensive that the Steinhart equivalent.

Is under 1k. 884 excluding gst.

Sent from Gong Wu Gong Bo from OnePlus 1 using GAGT

Even with GST added in, it's still S$945! That's still cheaper than the minimum $1000 that I initially calculated and predicted.

How come website so fast oos?

$884 is a good price, will hoot immediately also.

It's not out of stock, just that stock haven't come in yet.

...It'll probably be out of my budget though, in general, Squale watches are more expensive that the Steinhart equivalent...

都系要睇麽配置啦。。。至少Squale0既ATMOS有些款仲平过DAVOSA。

 

[xuan87]

Just got off the phone with Gnonom Watches, the shop price for OT500 is S$940!!

Forget about MO liao, just get from Gnomon Watches, will have extended warranty and free Nato strap! Plus Steinhart themselves are sold out anyway.

Monday.... Need to skive off

Posted with the useless HardwareZone Forums app

Nice shirt that goes well with the nice watch.

This GMT-2 Pepsi no longer in production right?

Where did you tailor ur shirt from? Nice design

 

[fade_white]

lol no.

look at the difference between retail and used prices to get a sense of overpricing. the new higher priced speedmasters are all marketing - bigger packaging etc. - while the watch remains the same.

How much are the previous gen speedmasters on the second hand market? Able to find NOS? I also have an itch... They come with hesalite instead of sapphire right, no other difference?
