    I spend if I have the saving or cash at hand Doc, and that savings is at a different country for a reason, so I can't touch it and think hard hehehe.

    how do you disinfect your watches?

    i've been using my good ole resin timex watch whenever i wander into the apocalypse because it's easy to sanitize. i just include them in my hand washing procedure w/o fuss.

    in the meantime, my stainless steel watches have been relegated to the watch box because i've read somewhere that the "veerus" tends to survive up to 3 days on them - just like on plastics. but of course, my banged-up timex plastic watch can be left anywhere w/o worrying much about its fate.

    btw, astig nung reverso ni bro rd81

    Get a paper towel and spray it with alcohol or any disinfectant. Then use that paper towel to wipe your watch.

    won't alcohol damage the stainless steel surface of the watch in the long run? hindi ba ma-alter ang luster niya?

    It’s just wiping and not soaking. I guess stainless steel will be resistant enough to such things.

    During this lockdown period a watch winder could come in handy especially those that uses 3 or more watches in rotation.

    What are your "grail" watches?

    I only really have 3 - Omega Speedmaster, Rolex Submariner, IWC Pilot.







    Not sure when I'll get the Sub (preferably Date ceramic, but an older model will do if it comes at a good price) or the Pilot Mark XVIII (or any blue-faced Pilot at 40/41mm) - as much as I love these watches, it's hard to prioritize them over more important things like travel, investments, and real estate.

    The Aquis is a nice watch Sir, esp with the GMT function.
    Problem with that watch is yun strap is integrated so you’ll have to buy from them.
    But this is a good value for money timepiece. [emoji1417][emoji4]

    I have 6 for now and i already own 1, my yachtmaster. It's the ultimate bling watch for me. Very 80s.

    The other 5 would be the following in no particular order.

    IWC Pilot Chronograph or Mark series
    Panerai Luminor - no particular model. Ang gulo ng labeling nila.



    PP Aquanaut


    Rolex Daytona white gold with blue dial


    Rolex DD40 in yellow gold


    And yes, i have to agree with you na we have other priorities now. [emoji17]

    Soon though. [emoji38]

    Just curious bro, why not go straight to the grails? The grail list is long enough, then there's a sub-list of intermediate watches pa. You'll end up spending the price of a few grails for those intermediate watches.

    Isn’t it fun collecting? The thrill of buying and flipping is part of that journey. Of course, I will not hesitate though getting any of the grails if the opportunity presents itself.

    The Moonwatch is the easiest one to acquire among the grails so I might go for that.

    Do you guys want or need your grails to be brand spanking new? Or is pre-owned fine with you?

    Personally, i don't mind buying it pre-owned basta alam kong alaga and rarely worn by the first or second or third owner.

    At first it was fun trying out different stuff. But when I realized the watches I really like, there's no thrill settling for other pieces anymore.

    I'm at that stage where I'd rather have 1 decent watch than many so-so watches, would only buy if it's another one of my grail watches.

    Definitely prefer pre-owned. Just too much depreciation to take in when buying new (except if it's a Rolex or PP). Same principle I have for cars - secondhand unless it's free brand new.
