Here talk talk can la. Nothing to see.

Nowadays not many affordable world time watches released. Even that Seiko was introduced a few years ago and Orient also stopped launching W-T watches. GMT got la. Today there are 40 world time zones in use plus DST making it obsolete. An old relic from 1930's.

If you want to see see and read read UTSE.
Need assistance? -> <Click me>

If you want to see see touch touch feel feel test test and maybe buy buy then go to a shop selling watches nearest to you. Of course if you go to a chicken shop then cannot find la.

The size is perfect, watch and strap in proportion with your wrist. Looking cute is an additional bonus too.

Double post!

Rado reminds me of the 70's. Not a big fan of Rado watches, but the design of your watch is quite nice and modern. It's groovy.
Can you please PM the damage?

Perhaps, you might consider getting this one too. <Link>
Makes an excellent pairing.

Just found out there's a diver's model too.
A watch that I could wear at any function without looking awkward. Very tempting.

Rado Original Diver
MCV review

A Rado is in the hit list. The only factor now is when.

A few more Seiko watches and this monster in the coming months....


It's more widely used for cutting tools and drill bits.
IMO Wolfram Carbide has a better marketing appeal.

What watch is that? Just get it fixed. Replace the crystal with Sapphire glass.

Not yet a sifu la.
When I have something worth showing.....

Not an expert on Italian watches. UTSE on the following brands:

Alessandro Baldieri
ANONIMO Firenze
Breil
Cairelli
Cavenago
Decima
Drass Watch
ENNEBI
Enzo Mechana
SEA GOD
SECTOR
U-BOAT

Maybe I missed a few and someone else can chime in.

Thanks for the heads up. Annual price increase is the norm for Swiss watches.

A new watch with sapphire crystal cost close to 1K and and above. It's your call.

It looks nice. Congrats. IMO its more like your first Credor rather than a Seiko though.
Also, I see that you prefer hand winding movements.
Out of curiosity, if you don't mind sharing, what's the brand of your first watch and watches owned over the years?

Yeah right. You are just being modest. I'm pretty sure that you have more than just Casio and Tag watches hidden under your bed.
As Donald Trump once said: "Sometimes you have to blow your own horn."

I concur.

Get a Patek Phillipe Grand Complication watch in Platinum.

Looks nice but I prefer the design of GA-110 series.
What triggered the impulse and is there any special reason for choosing this watch?

If you prefer the design of Nomos watches, take a look also at Stowa's line up.

A majority of watch owners don't really care whats inside their watch. As long as they are discussing about Seiko watches and generate interest in others reading the thread, that is good enough.
Janji rock.

The balance spring regulator on the 6S28 and 8R28 are different too. Just by comparing both and noting the difference you would probably guess which movement is more expensive without knowing the price before hand.

Hoohah? I don't understand what you are trying to say....
Anyway,
IIANM, 6SXX movements are JDM while 8R28 is available in selected markets worldwide.
I like the 6S37 and the Credor variant 6S77. SBDS001 is in my wishlist.
2 8R28 LE models are available in Malaysia imported by Thong Sia.
SRQ001 and SRQ007

Nah, you need another Rolex.....
How about a Daytona?

You might consider getting the bezel replaced too...

I still have yet to reach THAT level of enlightenment in watches.

Ask him what watch is good.

I estimate the bezel would cost around RM100+. Excluding labor. Not sure about the buttons and whether it is standard replacement parts during overhaul like mechanical chronos, but if it is painted and still looks good then just repaint it. All parts for SNJ007P1 is still available if you choose to replace it though. Once discontinued and no stock then cannot do anything....

As for the Japanese concept of Wabi & Sabi, all I need to do is look at the person staring at me in the mirror every morning. Every year it gets more depressing....
