Rolex or Omega or Breitling or Panerai

yes, TAG buys third party movement (ETA) and modify it. they call their modified movement as calibre. i think breitling has its own in-house movement for B01

I doubt that this is true for the Classic Heuers (pre-TAG acquisition). But after, very likely. ETA almost has a cartel like monopoly on swiss watch movements.

Pang dress watch ung Rolex, Omega and Breitling. Whereas ung Luminor Marina more on pang casual ang dating but it is just me.

[oliver1013]

For those on a budget, pwede na rin ung Tissot na Chronograph 25k lang for quartz at 40k ung automatic. Pag TAG, double or triple na ang price.

Woah, 2 weeks? Bro, kung hindi na under warranty baka pwede na k mang Andy sa MCS na lang yan papalitan ng battery, baka less than 10 minutes ok na.

Yung Charriol ko mga 3 weeks pinalitan ng battery pero libre kasi under warranty, hehe

This is true, that's why classic Heuers are very desirable pieces. Modern Tags, not as much. Most watch brands don't have their own capacities to manufacture all components inhouse, plus this will make them very expensive. That's why most brands buy ebauches from ETA or Sellita (like Oris), modify them, and give them their own calibre names. But, this is going to change now that Swatch (owner of ETA) has stopped supplying movements to its competitors. We are going to see a lot of in house movements pop out in the coming years.

kelangan daw sa watchworks lang para yung gasket original at waterproof..pag sa iba papasukin na daw ng tubig...

Rolex and Omega is kinda old and too safe. Its more for the mid-40s and above, in my opinion.

the design haven't change much. classic ang design. yes, including PP. But I must admit, iba pa rin ung prestige ng mga watch brand na un. Pag nagka apo na ako, maybe I will get one.

Medyo in fashion last couple of years ang big watches, 50mm size, ang U-boat may 55mm pa yata. And they are not cheap, I knew someone who sold his 2 rolex and replaced it with a couple big ass Hublot watch.

How about now sir hindi na in fashion?

If you buy a second hand rolex, pwede mo ba ipalipat sayo yung registration ng watch?

[babynos01]

My good ol reliable submariner. Only serviced once for cleaning


I'm done buying another expensive watch. I can't wear them all at the same time anyways

Sir frenchtower, how much was this when you bought it? What year?
The new one is almost a look alike, pero ceramic daw bezel tapos some modifications.

I have this watch for a long time. Maybe at least 15 years. I bought this from a big jewelry chain store which closed already (Baileys, Bank and Biddle). If I'm not mistaken, the price is no less than $8k at that time. Since I used store credit, interest and tax cost me no more than $10k. Over the years, I also believe Rolex is protecting the look of its submariner line that's why modifications can be barely noticed.

Tingin ko pwede naman sir, just like buying a pre-owned car.
