2nd hand should be around 5-6k

share with us what's your next upgrade!

With all due respect, I don't think it can fetch 5-6k...
3-4k would be a more realistic aim.
Brand new and unworn still can be had at around 6k.

guys, any recommendation for an affordable watch winder? affordable as in cheap.

limited to 2012 pcs is not a limited edition, it's juz a marketing trick~

not so soon !

But I checked at amazon, it cost around 2.5k USD which is around RM7.5k for a brand new one.

It has numbering on the back indicating the number of the watch . I'm not sure about the marketing trick .

I have to agree on that.
it make ppl think it should fetch higher price but in fact true limited edition is more like 1-30 pcs (the movement is also 1 of a kind) and the demand is like several thousands time more.

when it is 2012 pcs and one can find it on amazon (grey), that just shows yes it is limited to 2012 pcs but the demand for it is less. which means very weak resale value.

in any case a unmod ETA 2836 isn't limited, tens if not hundreds of thousands of it around. it only show case is limited edition, the movement isn't.

Not bad homage to 5513

exactly. very nice...love all their ocean 1s and the 44s excellent homages. gotta kick off the seiko addiction.

when the time comes, might pick up the ocean 1 vintage red *eyes sparkling*

Put on a nato becoming this

Nice homage to the Milsub...
Love the swordhands...

Was in Pavilion's Omega AD earlier today, they have some of the new POs in stock already.

Black 42mm non-chrono going for ~18k.
Black 45mm chrono going for ~24k.

Blue ones not in yet, but expecting 24k/32k ouchhh.

damned ..what a price hike ..last time 42mm non-chrono was 12-13k ...

New movement and ceramic bezel... of course more expensive lor...
What to do...
Old one was 13750 on steel bracelet.

Panerai busted! Using unfinished and low grade movement in Limited Edition pieces.
How can they do this to their customers?

u totally read my mind! hehehe. but im comtemplating, i might not want to add another diver piece, any comments on the below?

the steinhart Nav B-Uhr Black.



how would one classify the Swiss Unitas 6497? good? bad?

I would go for Laco just for the sake that it is the Original 5.

The 6497 is a reliable work horse. Heck, it's still being used by Panerai in some of their base models today. And the one Steinhart uses comes with cotes de geneve and blued screws, which adds a nice touch when viewed from the display back.

I'd say go for it if you're not that into the history thing

i considered the Laco and the Stowa, both are great, but price wise the Steinhart invokes the greater happiness, where it looks very good like deriku said, and i spend less? hehehehe.

hanz & deriku,

thanks for the info! well, the china one is called the asian seagull am i right? damn. is has to be a good work horse for it to be "replica-ed".right words used? hehehe.
