What brand of watch do you wear? [Merged]

[dr. d]

meron sa prestige pero black..

i regularly haunt the prestige stores in the mall, and i haven't seen a sea urchin there in their display cases for some time now. baka nga nasa mail-order na lang...
but surprisingly, i thought i saw a row of skx013s...

[_Qwerty_]

i checked the location of prestige stores.. wala sa mandaluyong makati bgc area..

i think that's a seiko sea urchin.
i have one, myself. it's my pang-maong watch.
a bit heavy, but it's ok. biggie naman tayo, eh.
in-experienced folks might even mistake it for a submariner.
"a seiko homage that's not a homage."
heh heh.

yup sea urchin. balak ko before i-mod it into pepsi submariner hehe pero nagagandahan pa din ako as is kaya I rather not touch/mod it

[Tha_Mann]

that's above 10K now.. and parati na out of stock..

aww nag taas na pala. since nung lumabas kasi yung new seiko 5, parang naging limited na yan.

AGree ako sa poster before me (si bro egan ata), for a 10k budget, it's worth looking in to the orient brand. The rays and the makos (gen2) are handsome watches. I have the latter in blue and it can hold its own.

The kamasu and kano line of theirs are lookers too but i think they're slghtly above 10k na. They're a bit bigger and i think are fitted w/ sapphire crystals na kaya sulit. Iyong burgundy release ng kano line ang pogi. [emoji106]

Sibling brand naman ang orient ng seiko kaya the quality is nothing to snort at.

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

about the orients,

i agree their divers' looks give the seikos a run for the money...

i vaguely read some time back, a writer said that they do not seem to keep as accurate a time as the seikos...
but if one will wear the watch only twice or thrice a week, this shouldn't be a deal-breaker.

i have this thing against having to adjust my watch every so few weeks.

[dr. d]

yup sea urchin. balak ko before i-mod it into pepsi submariner hehe pero nagagandahan pa din ako as is kaya I rather not touch/mod it

yes, i saw the mod version, and it was so very nice...
but i think i will leave mine alone for the meantime.

i went to sm city hole this evening, and visited the watch stores.
all of a sudden, ang daming naka-display na sea urchins! i swear i couldn't find them a few months ago...
baka... dumaong na yung mga fresh stocks from abroad...

TIA

i personally prefer the first. the second has too many sharp edges.
but you should try them out, sir, and see which feels better on the wrist.

youtube has many articles on them, sir.
nakaka-hilo... pang-watch fanatics.

Very good yung powermatic movement. Powermatic has an 80-hour power reserve compared to the 42 hours of the ETA 2824.

The Swatch group of companies use exclusively the movement (Tissot, Certina, Hamilton, Mido). It is used across a wide range of models - from dress watches to divers watches to field watches.

3 Watches from Certina, Hamilton and Tissot with Powermatic Movement

Still contemplating on getting that Certina DS PH200M diver with Powermatic. I like its retro style and it’s within a reasonable price.

to me i think personal preference.
yung 1st pic has a rolex oyster vibe. yung pangalawa parang vacheron na may pagka 70's.

go with whatever you like most both look good naman. pero correct try mo din isuot which of the two feels more comfortable.

[marky2115]

Yung Tissot Powermatic 80 din tinitingan ko before because of good reviews. Pero di naman ako mahilig talaga sa watches. Nasanay na ko na sa phone tumingin ng oras. Lately lang ako nagkakainteres sa watches so Seiko under Php 10k muna ang target ko. Hehe

Hindi rin naman ako mahilig sa watches pero after savings and investments at may sobra pa konti, gusto ko rin regaluhan sarili ko at dahil sa kakabasa ng post sa tsikot re brand of watch na mamagnet ako sa mga watch shop kakatingin at medyo natutukso na hahahaha.

"my heart yearns for rolex, while my wallet is just enough for timex."
thus the homage watches.

as one watch knowledgeable once said,
"just how many ways can one design a wristwatch or diver's watch?"
working under similar basic design guidelines, eventually, some models will look like other models.
just like with cars.
heh heh.

i have been visiting the local rolex authorized dealers, wanting to reward myself.
they have very few items to sell me, none of which strike my fancy.

Dok at least one up naman tissot sa timex

[dr. d]

Dok at least one up naman tissot sa timex

honga naman.
btw, i like the tissot visodate. classic vintage. like the air-cooled VW, "it's never in style and never out of style".

seriously,
i'm actually mulling over the black bay 58, because the rolex ADs seem to be bent on not wanting to sell me their product.

it's all about mindset.
sabi nga ng isang watch aficionado,
"when you buy a rolex, it's not to tell the time, because a cheap timex quartz can keep better time than the rolex."

Ok naman yan. At least may relo para if medyo gusto mo madalian na silip ng oras eh meron sa wrist.

Why not an Omega Planet Ocean or Jaeger Le Coultre Polaris? Unless you’re hell-bent on taking that long waiting list for a Submariner No Date or Batman GMT.

The problem with most Rolex ADs is that they only offer their new products to repeat customers (suki). If you walk in and buy one, they will only sell you the not so popular models. Most people end up with the sister brand of Rolex, which is Tudor. Or spend a little more with scrupulous resellers at a 20% or 30% mark up.
