Nice watch bros,

Quick question, how you all post pic on the forum using your smartphone ah?

I take pic liao then upload to some image hosting side then copy the image link then post on hardwarezone. Very troublesome and I only use desktop then upload pictures on the post.

If u are on android, use GAGT app. Can post pic directly from smartphone.

Never try modding a watch before. What did you use to stick the bezel insert back?

Got mod before. But I never open up before. Don't dare. Got sweaty palms. Like the planning part lol

Nothing lol the adhesive still in there.

Dear Ed.Yeo senior,

Can I ask if Rolex 6694 is a watch worthy to buy? Is it possible that its still running well with servicing for another 10-20 years?

 

[Ed.YEO]

师兄。。。 在这里先向你道歉。老乐士的錶款，我完全是个门外汉。。。
我看你还是向其他讨教吧。

要买“戴好嘢”的錶友注意啦！！！

昨晚到唐城坊的一家“A&W”錶铺逛了逛。。。
见到他们有些錶款正在促销，减价高达5成（hap price）！
多数“戴好嘢”清货表款属于LINK系列。
比如：

类似白面的。。。 打折后少过4000。
也许是旧货，但是从机芯角度来看。。。几乎能够肯定的是，绝对不是近几年采用SW500生产的！​

Anyone of you all buy customised leather straps from eBay then fix onto your watch?

Who do you approach to change the strap?

Play play with IOS app Hairspring. Use the earphone mic to pick up the beat and generate the average deviation per day. The rest I am not sure but the omega is consistent with my own experience where it is faster than my g shock.

Good reference point for accuracy but definitely not the gold standard

Use a spring bar tool to change by ourselves.

Just found out that the 3k is for the NOMOS Tangente 35mm with sapphire case back, they don't carry the model with stainless steel back (2.7k), if want they have to specially order for me. In that case, would I lose most of my bargaining power for haggling?

It's 2680 and 2340 respectively on NOMOS's official online store

Later i go Central Chidlom see if they have for you sir

Spring Bar Tool quite cheap, if you order from Qoo10, should be able to get one for less than $2...

i think depends on your strap also, my Armani Exchange Strap very very stiff, when i tried to remove it, i spoilt the strap in the process but for my Citizen watch, i got it out without any scratch or sorts..

just rmb to position your watch face on a cloth or sorts..

Wah the app idea not bad

Ya quite fun. U can leave it as long as u want to get a better average. Maybe if got a spare phone or tablet can actually measure over night for the real average.

From what I read, 40sec to 1 min quite good for a ballpark readout .

Maybe handy for buying second hand watches or vintage pieces

Wah. Mine is a Tag. I mean it's not those super high end watch but I don't wanna risk scratching it if I DIY l.
