Panerai ^^

prolly the history of the watch itself...
i guess its all about myself, i prefer complicated but not sophisticated watch...
i'll go for something sporty instead of classy...

guys, i guess you guys have misintepret me, and sorry bout not making my statement clear...
when i said complicated + history, not due to their tech which compare with other big time watch makers...



it just that my personal preference that i like its complicated design(car speedometer)(emphasize on the outlook only) + history of the frogmen used it for war...
nothing much, it just plain personal perference...pls don flame me =.="

i guess everyone reserved the right to like whichever watch they love, despite the tech and engineering adopted in making the timepiece...

luckily there's someone understand me(lova ya nando)... i do admit that i admire the dial + how they design for the outlook in details rather than the watch itself...especially when they did something on the crown haha, i'm cheap

i know most of the "real" watch collectors would prefer on the movements, functionality and the materials they used in producing watch :-)

just my 2 cents

thx guys...apologies on my naive on the definition of "real" watch collector
well, i guess everyone/anyone is fit into this thread to discuss bout watch isn't it?
here goes, 2 weeks ago i went pavilion with my boss, and he's eagerly wanted to own 1 of the chopard...
he wanted to get an white gold classic instead...but unavailable in the chopard pavi...therefore they recommend another 1 which looks similiar with the 1 he's looking for...

(the one he's looking for is white dial)
but material wise, its only adopt stainless steel for its casing...
and the price on shelves, 19k! and able to get some discount, down to 17k, i was like...wth...17k for a stainless steel yet classic (with no function), does it overprice by high to heaven?
i can't imagine if it really the white gold chopard XPS, how much would that be...

feel free to enlighten me why would it be cost that much for a stainless steel yet classic model...

i can't find any similar with the one i spotted at there, so i adopt the similar 1 instead...
i not sure whether this would fit the specification or not, but nevertheless, it should tell us something

what kinda watch are u wearing? battery last 7yrs.
2-3yrs is avg.. my tag battery last ~ 2yrs. even its still running I get it change. those battery has a great risk of leaking as it age.
rm12 not bad loh... imagine U change a Tag battery.. its using the same battery as your watch but just happen to cost alot more! maybe 6X more!

yeap...agree...just changed the tag 1 month ago at central plaza...cost rm130 =.="
but of course they'll do some polish and cleaning...coz they did changed the gasket as well
but somehow its quite expensive to change just a battery...
alternative, better got for automatic movement
