QUOTE(kotmj @ Sep 7 2011, 11:38 PM) Spent the whole evening having this bloody watch twinkling in my face. It's an Omega, like the moonwatch but without the chrono function. It has a saphire crystal, and i almost forgot how reflective uncoated saphire is. I'm sorry but were there supposed to be pictures accompanying your post? It would be interesting to see a Speedy (since you said "like the moonwatch", I'm gonna assume it's a Speedmaster) without a chrono. Not quite SPEEDmaster anymore without the tachymetre to measure speed is it? I am convinced now that acrylic is a better choice then uncoated saphire. Belongs to the CFO. Added on September 7, 2011, 11:57 pmoh btw the cfo came in a suit, if anyone wants to know. he gingerly took it off, held it by the collar then carefully folded it before placing in on the seat beside him. it is a bespoke. Added on September 8, 2011, 12:01 amthe omega is very twinkly! the hour indices sparkle incessantly.  |

Speedy without chrono function is not a Speedy. I am guessing perhaps a Seamaster AT or even a Deville?

Hi guys, I'm planning to get Heuer 300SLR limited edition. But I read thru previous post, seems like Tag Heuer is not really 'worth' buying. Is my understand right? To be honest I placed the deposit. But I still can use deposit to get a ladies watch for my wife. So I would like listen your view on this piece before i decide my next action. Thanks

But yet this will not be the everyday watch IMO.. Almost got myself a Carrera earlier this year. Took my friend advice, save a little more and got myself a Panerai and glad that i never got a tag. In term of design I kind of like this piece but yet I would like know whether this piece worth to get as an collector items and maybe wear it in some occasion. |
