lets talk watches

[roundhouse 148]

i think that's an awesome watch.

why not just replace it?

so much lore to that piece. i'd definitely have one if i wasn't stuck on mechanicals. 

yeah its good, i wouldn't change anything on it. but my fancy self wants something a bit more upmarket than plastic. 

not aware of the lore though; googled it and it came up with terrorist bombs.

any suggestions for leather watch straps? all the ones I buy tend to fall apart after a few months of regular use.

 Besides Kent Wang, I recommend Hirsch.

Anybody fuck with tudors? Looking to get a vntg oyster king

That tag is horrible IMO and I'm not a fan of the radiomir, but props for not getting the Pam that every first year analyst gets at bonus time.

That Lange 1, on the other hand, is amazing. Trying to decide between that and the fp Journe calandrier for my next purchase.

Tag is really a beater, pretty much the watch that got me started.

The Pam I lucked out and got last time I was in Singapore. It was the last one the official boutique had and at the time the boutique was the only one carrying it in SG.

The Lange One is a great piece. My favorite too. I got talked into that one actually.

The movement will be an ETA if it's a Tudor.

anyone has any experiences with this watch? worth the 150usd for it? also i realised there're quite a few parnis sellers around, are the quality of the parnis watches standardized among the different resellers?

[M4TM 392,344]

beater.

I had one and it was surprinsingly decent, was keeping time ok and all. But I now have a Sinn and wouldn't want to wear it again.

Anybody know what the current retail is of Dior Homme Chiffre Rouge A05?

Also are the older models (say from '07) holding their value?

[Switch 137,153]

Military Heuer is a new addition but back at the watchmaker for a little fix.

Can anyone reccommend a few places to get leather natos?

Not feeling the c&b thin straps nor the thickness (& $$) of shell cordovan straps.
Something in between please.

What would be the best place to get a Seiko SKX007-J online? Ebays got a couple for around 200 but I'm always suspicious of them. Has anyone tried 21jewels?

does anyone have any experience purchasing from chrono24?

[ericdw 136,114]

It's basically a forum marketplace so it depends on the specific seller you're dealing with.

Just wanted to say that according to some posters on watchseek, creationwatches has sent out faulty watches. They do have a warranty that covers these sorts of issues but the warranty process can take weeks and be quite a hassle. I ended up picking up an skx007j from 21jewels for a little bit more change but I feel a lot better ordering it from somewhere that has positive reviews.

new band, the croc/gator one that came with it didn't last 12 months and not covered under warranty so picked up a leather (croc embossed) with red stitching for around $70 delivered from UK with 12 month warranty, much better than the $600 no warranty replacement from tag!
