The Watch Thread - Part 8

[binnie]

Is a 1998-1999 omega speedmaster pro worth 3000 spent?

If you're talking about the actual moon watch and not the Mark II or X33 series, it sounds pretty reasonable. Assuming it is in good condition of cos

 

[Raceworld]

no

10 charrrrrrrrrrrr

Why no ?

It's the moon watch ref 3570.50 in a pretty good shape ,not sure if i should pay slightly more for a newer speedy pro

Hmm I don't seem to have any issues with the loop..
The left one is the Speedy Alaska Project

Alaska lovely piece! Bro your fabric also coming out le. From the underside of the freeloop.

Fantastic! I stopped myself from buying the grluxury piece cos it had no box and papers. Otherwise I would have bought it. But of all the dial/case combos, it's one of my favs. It can be dressed up or down. So versatile.

The FP Journe Chronometre Souverain is seriously taking my focus away from buying the Lange 1 now. My brain says just buy the Lange, but my heart keeps whispering "Journe Journe Journe..."

Congrats on the gorgeous watch anyway...

OMG bro! I was contemplating on that piece too! it was the lange 1 or the Souverain. '07 Platinum Journe at a very good price. But what tip me over to the lange 1 was the servicing. I don't know where to service a Journe.

You can google. its a limited edition ***/500 Tribute to Italy royal oak chrono.

Received quite a number of compliments on it already.
It looks way better in real life than stock pictures.

I feel the bezel is the only letdown.

The more I look at it, the more I like it. I agree with an earlier comment, the dial design is awesome, but I would have preferred a slightly wider bezel. The current bezel is a little too thin for my liking.

But the current design gives the watch a more "dress" sense rather than a tool watch look.

The strap is very well matched to the watch. I wonder how will a Brady sailcloth strap with Gold stitching will look with it.

why is that so?

I kinda like the thin bezel though. it makes it suitable for office and casual wear

Reminds me of the "4 Triangles" Eterna Kontiki, a classic itself..

Asking what a lot of people will be asking, please share which shop gives 15%? PM will be better in case the shop gets into trouble.

Both red and blue are nice, red I feel is a more vintage look, the blue a more modern vibe, I would have been happy with either one.

[Sauron]

Tudor only got a few ADs (all watches, Cortina, Lee CHAY, THG, emperor, tai Hong Hung...) just make some calls to find out lah.

Just ask got this model or not? If yes, then ask how much discount can you give.?

Who knows maybe can get better deal?

Also see my earlier post on which shops to visit and who to talk to.

 

[messi7]

At the price point of Nomos Tangente / Tangomat, what would be the other brands / models to look at too?
