The Watch Thread - Part 9

[Henabi]

Question, can someone let me know how the Rolex's models stack up against each other? For example, I know Grand Seiko is of a higher league than a Presage for example...

how does GMT, Submariner, Yatchmaster & Datejust stack up against each other ah?

For Seiko. There's Seiko 5, Seiko, Seiko Premier, Grand Seiko
Rolex, its just different type of watches:
Dress watch: Cellini, DJ, Air-King, Perpetual, DD
Watch for highly sensitive area: Milgauss
watch for aviation: GMT
Sports: Cosmograph Daytona, Milgauss
Water Sports: Submariner, YMT
Complications: Sky dweller

Never understood why milgauss is a sports watch, it looks pretty datejust-y to me.. Without the date, and it's marketed towards the 'science geek' people

Grand Seiko 真的很耐看。无论被posted那么多次, 都那么光鲜亮丽, 不覚厌倦。Though dont have resale value or brand recognition. Under $10k can get or not huh? Where to find AD that carries GS? Think i will finally settle for GS.

Any advices should i get automatic, quartz or spring drive?

What model is that? Still got stock?

GS got interest free instalments or not?

Honest opinion. Automatic or hi beat.

Not sure about installment

Sorry boss, the looks not to my liking. Actually im looking more for a dress watch or something universal all-in-one i can wear to most occasions, mostly for work and also can wear for casual & preferably have perpetual calendar features. Cos to me being able to see the date, day & month on a watch is important. I have G shock already so not looking for casio or analog. A divers watch looks rather appealing but im not sure if it can suit my working image or not. Most of the times im stationed in office, but occasionally will get to see clients about a few times every quarter year. They are usually higher mgmt like CFO, CEO, directors etc. Appreciate yur advice.

Actually im also looking for something universal all-in-one i can wear to most occasions, mostly for work and also can wear for casual & preferably have perpetual calendar, tourbillon and minute repeater features. Cos to me being able to see the date, day & month on a watch is important. Should be not too dressy, not too diver, not too pilot, not too sporty. Most of the times im stationed in office, but occasionally will get to see clients about a few times every quarter year. They are usually higher mortals like CEO, Kings, prince, sultan, sheiks etc. Appreciate yur advice, oh and below 1k please.

Sorry I did not notice your Budget initially. I don't think there is any Swiss Made Perpetual Calender at that range yet. For your range you can only get something with minimal complication.

If it's not a matter of urgency, save more and hold out for something better. If you're only planning to have one good one especially.

A Submariner can be versatile for casual and business.

A Reverso is subtle and dressy. Another alternative could be a Cartier Tank.

I've never owned a Grand Seiko before. But their finishing and movement although not Swiss Made is also of high quality.

Can't comment much on a Tissot either, but with $10K - you have many varieties of choice if brand is not an issue.
