What brand of watch do you wear? [Merged]

Daily use mo boss? Stock pa rin yung strap?

Daily use ko dati for about 5-6 years. Strap has been replaced (had to wait a month for the strap, wala pang Shopee non).

The very first watch I bought with my own salary was a gshock. It is still running strong, 2 decades later.

i still have my first G shock solar bought in 2005/2006 i think. close to 2 decades na rin. still with the original battery.
had to do around 3x cleaning and replacement screws and rubber surround since some rust has been getting into it.

my current daily wear favorite is also the first watch i purchased, using my own earnings.
it's a "swiss army" quartz, purchased in the 90s.
i had to replace the crown, but everything else is original.
if my thoughts are correct, it's a victorinox, back when they didn't yet put their company name on the face.

I chanced upon the SNXS75 (grey dial) SNXS77 and SNXS79 at SM Makati yesterday. Pricetag at ₱8400 and can avail a 10%discount.

I restrained myself and walked away [emoji1787]

pues, i chanced the blue version in watch depot, some months ago, for less than 7K.
bought it without hesitation.

after wearing it for some time... the bracelet sucks!

it's time to shopie. the bracelets there go for less than 500 bucks, naman. i actually purchased one for my GS. it works fine.

Doc, wears light, lighter than my MM300 coz of titanium material

But yeah, BIG! 46 dial with 55mm lug to lug, not for people with small wrist, mine is +- 6.5" and still big on the wrist.

Nice! I've never had a spring drive before. Hope I can get one in the future.

... knowing it's an accurate quartz-controlled movement, yet moves like a mechanical...
yes. cool!

Thanks to a weaker yen and the usual rergence of the peso during the Xmas season (salamat sa ating mga OFW), these two are now a lot cheaper at a local department store here in Tokyo:



The above Casio was as high as ₱50k when it first came out. Price above is less than half that.





This is a 40mm Omega Speedmaster with a "reverse panda" dial in black and silver. Really gorgeous in person, priced about ₱160k.

It's not a moonwatch but it still is a good deal for a Pinoy looking for their first speedy.

Prices above are also subject to 10% tax discount for foreigners, which lowers the price even further.

... i should go to japan...

I want one as well. hehe

[baludoy]

bumibigay din pala ang strap ng g shock

So I just got around e-mailing our country's official Casio dealer to ask if they had replacement straps available for my gd 350. Unfortunately, they don't have it on stock but they can order them from Tokyo asap. Ang problema it'll take at least 5 months daw for it to arrive here. ��

Baka patulan ko na Lang iyong mga online sellers sa shopee. I just hope it's true that what they're selling is the real stuff as they claim.

of course it's not the "real stuff" !
but if it fits, naman...

i recently ordered a replacement metal watch bracelet, as the AD said it would take 8 months.
well, the bracelet i received cost only 440 bucks, wasn't perfect but was decently made naman, and it actually fit the watch well enough.

I bought a "casio royale" and its corresponding stainless steel mod kit.
