What brand of watch do you wear? [Merged]

[chronicle]

hindi ba parang ang hirap bumili ng genuine g-shock these days? I can’t differentiate the original from the oem/class aaa+ unless bibili sa official dealers. even then parang hindi pa din ako comfortable.

The strap and heft. It feels different compared to orig ones.

He he he

Saan ba nagpapa replace battery ng G Shock? Wala na battery yung Mudmaster ko

Kaya ba sa ordinary watch shop/kiosks?

Sabi nila better sa casio mismo para hindi madali iyong seal. May technique daw ata or something.

do what you gotta do so you can do what you wanna do

You should learn how to do it yourself. You need a set of micro screwdriver tools, batteries and silicon grease. It should be pretty straight forward. Take some pictures before disassembling every part to make sure everything will be in the right place when you put them back.

Check youtube to get more ideas.

Ako din magdadalawang isip. I want to buy preowned sana na makinis kasi primarily pangtakbo ko lang naman sana pero grabe nga ang mga fake. Talagang nagkalat na.

I might end up buying a brand new one na lang from time depot or maybe republic in ongpin because it's cheaper daw there.

That's why you need to apply a thin coat of silicon grease to its gasket to maintain its water resist feature. I've changed G-Shock batteries dozens of times without any issues.

Any competent watch shop can easily change a regular G-Shock battery, unless it's of the tough solars as battery availability might be a problem.

Ok let’s do a wrist shot. Riseman today.

It’s a gimmie for PWC members, the same reason you won’t see their ads when you don’t sign up as a member. Fly and Dom have a good number of repeat customers in PWC.

*Cathy - I suggest you go with the version 3 as it offers hacking and winding feature.

Been backreading this thread, just wanna ask if the prices in PWC's Trader's Corner are firm or can we still negotiate with the sellers?

Went against the original plan of getting a Longines Hydroconquest/Oris Aquis and settled for an SKX009 for now as this is still my first foray into watch collecting. Fell into a slippery slope and already looking at the next acquisition, though -- eyeing an Orient Bambino or a Sun & Moon, or Seiko Presage.

sabi ng tech namin sa workplace,
"ser, maka-bili ako ng ilang cheap but genuine casio na disente naman, for the price of that genuine high-fallutin' G-shock of yours. pag nasira yung una, ay meron pang ilang ka-palit. pare-pareho lang naman sila sa accuracy.."

i remember a scene from the movie, the incredibles. the guy had a dozen cellphones in the kitchen drawer.
heh heh.

our tech may not be a watch aficionado, but he talks practical sense.

He makes perfect sense, dr. d. Pero alam mo naman when it comes to wanting something, in this case watches, rarely does the heart go for the logical option

A Patek Calatrava doesn't tell time 100x more accurately than, say, a Timex Waterbury, but it will make your heart beat 1000x faster with excitement whenever you wear it.

Haha! Yes, that's the one. What colourway were you looking at? Was trying to look at the grey and yellow colourway or the orange one.

Big fan of G-Shock Tough Solar watches.... Never runs out of juice...

For every day casual

During one of my trips to the US,- bought wifey an elegant Timex,- only to find out that it was made in Cebu....

[dr. d]

yespo.
timex has factory in cebu.
the last time i went to cebu, years ago, there were models in the cebu outlet, that i did not see in manila.

also, i once bought a pentax pocket camera in the usa. i was happily surprised, that they were also made in cebu.
