What brand of watch do you wear? [Merged]

[ssaloon]

The moonwatch is really a classic. Too bad it wears slightly too big on my wrist.

I tried a similarly-sized 42mm and the lugs kinda go past my wrist.



The smaller 39-40mm automatics seem to fit me better:

The Speedy Pro wears small for a 42mm because the lugs are short and curve slightly to hug your wrist.

Yeah the 42mm Coaxial has slightly longer lugs than the Pro - but when I tried the 39mm automatics it already fit perfectly so the 42mm Pro will definitely wear bigger.

My 7002 is also 42mm but is only 45mm lug to lug, and it's about as big as I'm willing to go. The Pro on the other hand is 48mm lug to lug. The smaller automatics are 44.5mm lug to lug. I'll have to fit a Pro to be sure but the automatic is looking to be a better fit.

Good compromise, but without the heritage. Hehe

Can't go wrong with a Speedy Pro.

Still looking. Taga presyo ng ibang nakikita ko so far (within striking distance of getting a new one at a local store once discounts are factored in). I also chimed in on one of our batchmates if he'll let go of his Seamaster (presyong classmate )

The search is part of the fun really (parang kotse lang).

Here's an example of a Rolex that now costs more in "used" condition, than it was when brand new.

?T?u?}???[?i ?f?C?g[16610] SUBMARINER DATE | ?????b?N?X ?????Y ???? ???v

I had the Japanese translated, and here's the result.


Maker's suggested retail price ¥ 560,000 (tax excluded)

¥ 777,000 (tax included)

Sales price: ¥ 719,445 (excluding tax)

Did I read it right, that's a 1991 16610 Sub? So over the course of 26 years, it earned 8%? That's not much of an investment now is it...

Although there really is a shortage of Submariners in the market today. None of the local ADs have Submariner stocks on hand, and there's a pretty long line for it.

Net, this is pushing the prices of Subs upwards, and 5 year old Subs are selling higher now than when they were new as buyers turn to the secondhand market.

If you're asking me, I don't know.

I'm not into Rolexes for investment.

I just buy, because I like them.

My dad got a 90s Sub, which he got brand new for less than 60k back then. This was before the peso devaluation of 1998. 16610 Submariners today can go from 250-400k (source: Chrono24).

Lol! Nalubog ko ung gear S1 ko during a borocay trip. Pagahon ko patay na. Pang shower lang pala ang waterproofing ng Samsung smart watches.

I guess the same can be said for all other smart watches - possibly including the casio protrek smart watch.

IP-55.
protected against dust, and against water jets ("garden hose"?).
not for immersion.

Immersion is fine "daw" doc so long as it is the water is not moving forcefully like the waves.

i copied it from the xdadevelopers forum.
i suppose, that means, puede pang-gardening with hose, but not for boating-with-huluging-into-the-water?

Why naman boss?

Thinking to buy another one... my last swatch worn was years ago. After that, I worn a not so popular watch na bigay ng brother-in-law ko from Malaysia, then a watch from Hope.Faith...Love (For P250), to my current watch, a Timex.
