The Watch Thread - Part 8

[Ed.YEO]

Poisonous!




What would you guys think if poor me can only afford this. I really really like the "pepsi" look of the watch less the brand name.

不必太在意他人怎么看你的表，你自己本身的办事能力远远大过你带的表。
再来，这款经济实惠。保修期一旦过期，若有问题，容易找师傅修理。劳力士虽然也有不少师傅能整，修理费方面更是不经济。。。你会想要“又平，又青，又大粒”，还是。。。“又贵，又精，又吃力”咧？

Remember to do more research about steinhart gmt and the reviews.
if you can accept some of its flaws then just hoot it!

Care to point out the flaws?

Don't have to think so much, as long as you are happy with the watch.
There are other brands with this pepsi design as well

SIC please! I find this one neat amongst others I've seen.

My Chinese is bad but to summarise I think you mean to say, "the man maketh the watch" not "the watch maketh the man".

Kaikai, I will personally get the Tudor fastrider or top up abit to get the blackshield.

Most people may recommend a speedy?

thanks, any others. I don't mind if anyone throw me a whole list =x

What about a Seiko Pepsi SKX009? Affordable and bang for buck. I'd get Seiko over Steinhart any day.

Seiko and Orient's pepsi bezel is only 1/4.

Squale's face is too 'messy'. Thanks though.

Hmm, could anyone drop me a PM if decided to sell off their Steinhart Ocean one - Black / Green is fine!

Main issue is setting the minute hand, hour hand with the GMT hand moving as you turn the crown...

Strongly advise you to watch the youtube e video review to understand what I say

If you are someone who is very particular abt this then this will not appeal to you...

的确。。。一只STEINHART GMT能抵三只SKX007/9/11，当然也要看商家开价多少啦。
但是我相信，paul02是煞上了GMT表款吧。尤其是与“捞叻”设计相近的。。。

 

[radiancez567]

Any love for SNZF17K1? I find the see through back nicer compared to SKX007, and yet is cheaper..

Only 100m WR though, and no screw in crown, bezel is much thicker.

Then again, 100m WR is already far too good for me.

*Not my picture

2:55 for the back comparison

Hi guys

Understand Japan has a great second hand dealer market. Any reputable ones that would have good stocks of entry level watches? Say SGD1.5k thereabouts? I will be in Tokyo and Kyoto.

greatpoke is selling his Ocean Black DLC, not sure if that will float your boat.

Lumey lumey nite...

This may be my next major hoot..... But won't be anytime soon. Lume is too poisonous liao

I am quite particular indeed. I did some research and I see that those issues are old (2000-2012?). Is the issue not yet rectified because I don't see newer posts about the issue.

Here is my Tudor Blackshield, have been wearing it daily and neglecting other watches. Other than this bronze/brown Blackshield, there is also the striking red version.

There is someone selling this in Carousell now at a very good price.

Moonphase

Hi experts, I'm a noobie trying to find some nice yet affordable watches to wear.

Last Dec I was in love with watches with bezels, hence I bought a Seiko SNP055P1. I'm still wearing this til today and still loving the looks of it.

This year, I'm suddenly struck by the existence of a moonphase in a watch. I found the Longines Master Collection L2.739.4.71.3, like how it looks, but it is out of my budget (think it costs about 3-4k?).

I also saw another Seiko, SRX008P1, like how it has the moonphase and the Kinetic Direct Drive technology. I think it cost slightly above 1k.

I'm not sure if I should save up for the Longines, or go for the Seiko. But then again, I not sure if I want another Seiko in my collection (esp I just bought one 11 months ago).

Anyone has any other choices to recommend me please?

 

[ralliart12]

Anybody knows which model of Aqua Terra this is (I understand this is an old series but dunno the exact model)?

Approx price? Still can get first hand?

当你集表了一段日子，你会发觉你买入的表款中总是欠缺了什么。。。月相功能就是其中一个。。。
月相表，说贵嘛，有便宜的，说便宜，也有贵的。这也就视乎你的预算限制了。

平价的不是没有。石英表方面，少至不到$90的WESTAR就有高品质的星辰平价石英机芯。要更贵的，看来体面，又叫周围的表迷叫得出名堂的，也可考虑星辰自家品牌CAMPANOLA表款，功能既是复杂又精密，又能吸引他人目光。

机械的，虽然多数品牌的月象款式都处在4位数价格，并不意味没有比较经济的选择。。。
Sovil Et Titus 1887系列中就有采用海鸥ST19手搅上链机芯的计时月象表，折扣之后，大约800，如果要奢华点，红金表壳款大约900。时间廊给的保修期，2年。
没信心？不喜欢大陆品牌，可选择俄制表款呀！不过俄制表款大多数都必须上网网购，所以网路销售商选择方面就要下些功夫，仔细研究。俄制31679机芯，既是有月象功能，也与海鸥ST19一样，能计时。。。也是手搅上链机芯。
无论是俄制，还是中制，两样都面对同样的挑战。。。保修期失效之后出了什么问题，找谁来修表？俄制芯，你或者曾经听过可到汤申购物中心，宏茂桥表行找师傅修。大陆芯呢？ 。。。 。。。 。。。这也就是为何多数集表者栽在瑞士表款的选择里。
瑞士机械机芯里，较为常见的该属ETA7751一体计时自动芯最普通，再来就是双模机芯组合，如ORIS ARTILIAR的ETA2671+DD月象年历模组，后者就是那些较贵，多数为自家研制机芯。。。往往也就受预算而受限制。

你指出的浪琴月象回针款，是我在浪琴众多表款中比较向往拥有的一个。。。也是我最犹豫的一个。这回针复杂功能机芯，可算是浪琴独有的。其他品牌找不到。就因为独有，独特，“独立”，保修期一旦过时，失效，想找人整修也就困难了。。。

yes this time i have inspect it well,they gave me a new warranty card and chronometer certificate

Good that they replace it for u, personally for lume issues I will leave it alone , too minor

Now that u got a new watch , don't look too closely cause u gonna find minor stuff that irks u.

And please do not send watches to service centers to get it fixed unless it's some major issues like malfunction or breakage because they will introduce new issues while fixing your watch.
