So you're saying mucho $$$$$ service costs?

Is Bilan O' Polo BPC nice brand? How bout its quality n looks?

I dont agree or disagree just for discussion sake.. So you mean "vintage" has to be associated with a bumper year or period?

domed crystal, giant indexes and no crown guard.
am on a hunt for a 5513 at the moment.... hard to find a mint example with box and papers...but am in no rush...

hi there catnip,

I have tried the entire of the latest range of Rolex Watches (except for the sky dweller and DJ which i don't care about) and i personally found the proportions DSDD too large for me...and this is coming from a Panerai owner... the escape valve and overtly protruding flat sapphire also just looks rather daft to me.. yes i know these are fundamental for the DSSD to reach teh great depths it is capable of, but the submariners are still my preferred of the Rolex diving range. Admittedly these preferences are mostly due to cosmetic reasons...I prefer the no dates because i prefer non cyclops magnifiers (yes i know the cyclops of the date-sub can be removed easily but i would never dare do that to any factory timepiece). My reasoning for choosing a vintage subbie is because i feel that the piece has evolved very little over the course of half a decade, hence it still looks relevant today. I personally love the challenge of looking for a full set, the tuna can bracelet that will still actually snap in place, decent condition hour and minute hands, etc... Vintage is new territory for me hence its i find it interesting, plus it would make a better story to tell my boys over our weekend piss ups

ack! what a long reply for a sunday morning...

Watatime in midvalley is doing great sales, whole shop crowded like pasar

Just curious, what do you guys/girls consider in priority when buying a watch?

The brand?
The looks?
In-house movement?

Ya, in KL where can I look for it? @@ cause i scare if i buy from online i im not sure how to assemble it

Solar Time at Sunway Pyramid and the shop at Pavilion are carrying this model. Planning to get it there

^What's wrong with China made winders? Care to share what you mean by 'quality type'?

Not everyone can afford Scatola del Tempo and Wolf Designs winders, especially for the average guy with a couple of Seiko's in their collection.

Thought I'd share this. A friend purchased a Shanghai brand hand-winding watch recently. What's interesting is the dial which is printed with Chinese 'shi chen' 时辰, used to tell time during the time of dynasties. All for less than RM90.

Time is read like any other watch. The markers are positioned in the way that correlates to the 12 hour system; outer ring represents pm, inner ring am.

There's a review with discussion on the Chinese time system on WUS.

I didn't measure my 20yo Tag quartz but left to its own since months ago, its only a minute off.

Mine's this one... 1500 series. Sapphire glass.

It's retired with honors for distinguished service (met my wife with this watch  ) so I don't really monitor it but from casual observation every once a while, its still bang on accurate compared with the watch on my wrist.

I have a little rant to share:

My orient mako at exactly 6 o'clock, the minute hand is 2 degrees to the left of the 12 position and she is only one year old.

My tudor prince date which is 9 years old, the hour and minute hand is perfectly aligned at 6'o clock.

Talk about Swiss pedigree.
