The Watch Thread - Part 9

[qweiop]

Does anyone know what are the cons of regulating a watch. I had my omega AT for 4 mths and it suddenly became 20s fast per day.

Agree the omega seamaster professional chronometer 2254.50 is a handsome watch.

But i tried it... doesnt sit well on my wrist...

lugs on the 2254.50 is rather short, so no overhang and ought to sit nicely on the wrist even though its 41mm in diameter.

It comes in quartz version too... however battery change is $55 a pop... that money-grabbing swatch group
ok la, at least they give you a decent watch case to go with it

nice travel case. but $55?

what battery does it use? wouldn't an independent watchmaker with the correct caseback opening tool charge less?

I asked for quote 2 times,interval about 6 mths apart. 2nd time the price was higher than the first. So I told him about the previous price he quoted. He mentioned of the currency exchange rate, but he was willingly to lower USD180, though still higher than 1st quote. In the end I get him to send me payment in japenses yen which after the exchange rate is about same as 1st quote in USD.

Good to see that your collection has been growing well Dominique! .

Haven't seen you in a long long time hope all is well

Anybody bought watches from brightime by championtime before?

They sell pre-owned and brand new watches.

They are greay market dealers can buy in brand new rolex, cartier and omega watches from overseas and sell about 30% cheaper than sg retail price.

Anybody bought from them their brand new watches before?

I scare it could be second hand watches that they polish until look brand new put into a box and fake cert n sell as brand new, or worst maybe is fake watches that they selling

This is sibei lol

Grey watches are definitely cheaper. They are call water goods in hk. But it's legit.
Warranty I think shld be dated one. But safe.
I got my other speedy at 30% off leh. No issue lol.

Omega can. Cartier can. Rolex I doubt they will give 30%. Likely 15% max. Rolex is see market one. But around the same. Slightly cheaper than AD

I don't carry my watches in pouches.. Or rather, I don't bring more than 1 watch with me at anytime... Hehe
