What brand of watch do you wear? [Merged]

[_Qwerty_]

so dapat lahat nang watches apektado..

It’s final: Rolex watches not subject to 2% excise tax | Inquirer Business

The DOF noted that “a perusal of how the Tax Code defined non-essential goods was by providing an enumeration of goods deemed falling within its category or classification,” but wristwatches and clocks were never included among non-essential goods in previous tax laws slapping percentage taxes on jewelry, automobiles, and perfumes.

“Thus, it is clear that when [the provision] was carried forward as Section 150 of the 1997 Tax Code for the purposes of imposing excise tax at 20 percent, the enumeration therein did not contemplate the inclusion of wristwatches and clocks,” the DOF said.

Yup, wristwaches ang sabi eh, wala namang distinction if high-end or low-end.

looks good.

comment.
used to be, tool watches weren't worn to formal occasions, i.e., not paired with a tux.
but when james bond wore a submariner with his tux,
it re-wrote the guide books.
or so i read.

i wanted a moonswatch, but the store ain't got none, and they could not say when...
so i left, and...
i passed by another watch store, and there i saw the SNE571.
i got one.
"the best watch is the one that's available."

the happy feet monster!
i like this model, except for its thickness.
i have a watch or two, with similar thickness,
palaging nasasagi when i adjust the driver seat...

lookit the penguin footprints on the blue-white ice face,
hence the name.

i do not enjoy adjusting the times of my watches, kasi,
whether because they died from non-use, or because of their inherent mis-accuracy as a mechanical watch.
la lang. personal quirk.
my current stable of watches on rotation, are electronic.
at 50K, i would expect some measure of accuracy.

But you mentioned you have a sea urchin? How do you feel about that one, considering this SPB143 is a mechanical watch as well?

the sea urchin was given to me as a gift.
i wear it from time to time, adjusting the hands because it had died of non-use in the drawer.
my last mechanical watch purchase was over 5 years ago, an orient star classic. i rarely use it; i sometimes wonder why i purchased it in the first place.

the SPB143 is takaw-tingin... but i would appreciate comments from a local.

May mga cheaper alternative yata sa Orient(Star) with manual winding din, plus 50hr/70hr reserve indicator para madali malaman kung i wind na ulit.

Doc you can buy a watch winder so that your mechanical watches don't lose the set time.
Problem lang is yung date.

P15,800 or P16,800 sa Seiko stores. Nagpa reserve na ko haba ng pila

[dr. d]

hmmm....
time to go to molopisya for my end-of-the-day exercise.

also,
there's this new watch store in sm manila city hall.
it caters to seikos and casios. that's where i saw the SPB143, which piqued my interest. for some reason, it... attracted me.
i imagine, this new store will eat significantly into the businesses of the other independent watch stores in the area.

Guys you might want to save up for that swiss watch you’re eyeing.

The watch bubble is about to burst, maybe it started na nga.

Rolex Daytona panda down to 2M na lang, from a high of 2.9M+ just a couple of months ago.

Its the beginning of the end for the resellers.

[ale828]

will check AtTokyo later kung meron na nga nyan.. nasa 23K+ ang presyo when I googled it..

its already available if you are lucky enough na umabot na may naka display.
Saw it last weekend at *tokyo Robinsons. May available pa but didn't get it.
it was priced Php 17k+ but according to the sales person mayrun price increase this week.
Lo and Behold nag message sa akin at*tokyo na nagincrease na price to 21k+.
Sayang. should have gotten one. haha
