This is my latest collection. Omega Mens 2221.80.00 Seamaster 300M Quartz James Bond Blue Dial Watch

How much damage did the SMP quartz cost you?

Not all my watches are high dollar pieces!

Seiko's glow!



I have a custom flieger style strap that is being made - I believe it will look fantastic on this watch.

Yea, what's the damage for SMP Quartz?

Retail Price Rm6.7k with 7% discount

Urgh?! Omega only have single digit discount?!

Thanks for sharing.. it's slightly out of my budget

Will head on to get a kill for my 1st diver's watch tomorrow

when buying watch, if possible, free yourself from the budget constraint and get the piece that you really want! it's not worth it to buy something that you don't like as much as the other one just because it fits your current budget...

save up for the piece that speaks to you, trust me, it's worth the wait

Yes agreed!

While save up for the piece that speaks in between there will be something that speaks too

Kena poison dy!

hmm.... I wouldn't really say it is value for money.
it is ETA 255.461 quartz movement, very inexpensive at ~US$89 (Omega buying in bulk maybe half the price), easy to service just change battery every 3yrs.

the auto co-axle version, cannot be bought so I don't have a price tag in that. iirc it is mod 2892 which usually cost ~US$250. a mech usually has better resale value, but it cost alot more to service every 5yrs. so it is like a double edge sword in this case.

By the way just curious.. how long that we should bring the automatic watch back for service?

3/5 years once or what?

Rules of thumb is every 5 years of constant wearing.

I am at my friend's house yesterday...Bored there so he show me his family watch collection and i took picture of it

Any idea on what model of watches are these?

1.)


2.)


3.)


4.)


5.)


6.)


7.)

WOW... I see some tourbillons and Langes...

those are replicas, especially poor Rolex replica no.6

jealousy fades away~

i went to sg wang last week because i heard there's this very good replica watch shop there. went there to look at a replica milgauss GV to compare it to mine.

the difference is quite obvious. the "ink" and markers on the dial look quite different, and their sapphire glass is not very tinted, only has the green edge.

rolex co-axial? cool man...that would bring peace to Rolex and Omega fans...lol

Good spot on the 'Romega', couldn't tell myself although the models did look unfamiliar
