QUOTE(-kytz- @ Jun 24 2015, 04:02 PM) It's nice but it's USD1k not USD100  Tarak duit now, belum kerja lagi Thanks for the recommendation but the design is no where similar to the Nomos/Stowa I'm afraid  It is a Bauhaus design still.

QUOTE(Everdying @ Jun 25 2015, 05:50 PM) B&R suffers from the "oh, just a poser" stain ma.. People who buy B&R is mostly buying it for the poser status Already people asking me how much my Sea-Gull cost, because those City Chain or whatever carries over here are their tourbillon series so now they associating it with your Omega and Rolexes

QUOTE(Everdying @ Jun 25 2015, 05:56 PM) hang thai sells / sold seagulls...long time i never walk in to their outlets. i recall got the regular 3 hand models also last time i walked in like 3yrs ago?  Not sure, the one I saw was in BV1 second floor, mostly was the tourbillions. It is okay to me, my father now don't believe the watch he insisted cost me less than RM500, so he darn happy

QUOTE(Everdying @ Jun 25 2015, 06:08 PM) ya thats the hang thai i used to walk into once in awhile. seagull tourbillon less than rm500? or those open heart made to look like tourbillon? On la, I got him a normal Sea-Gull M187 only.. Just people in Malaysia see Sea-Gull in HT is sold at 10-15k, they now think all Sea-Gull is that price range Which is why GS is a bit of a hard sell in Malaysia to those who want to tell people they are wearing 20-30k on their wrist.

QUOTE(-kytz- @ Jun 25 2015, 06:13 PM) I prefer the hour clock with alternate numerical on the Tangente rather than the one in the antea but both are still prefer nice! I wrote wrongly, was supposed to say that you were looking for the Tangente over the Antea as you clarified. Just google bauhaus design, you can find a few brands carrying their own "interpretation" of it. For example, Kent Wang also have his own take on it:

QUOTE(Everdying @ Jun 25 2015, 06:22 PM) at least seagull got the marketing part right...set a high price to give the perception of luxury. now all they need is a more mat salleh sounding name...then can set even higher price  Rodina? If Sea-Gull wanna make money, I think it is easier to do what their other Chinese counterparts do, either buy or partner with some recognisable fashion house and make watches carrying their name.

QUOTE(.:zaxiao:. @ Jun 25 2015, 06:30 PM) Tisell's are quite nice. It's sold out, but restock mid July. They're making the blue hands, which they claim is done by bluing the steel with heat, not just painted on/  It's higher than Rodina / Sea-Gulls, but it is still perched in that category. Don't think their designs is very inspiring, though it is a very affordable alternative to the likes of Nomos.

QUOTE(sniper on the roof @ Jun 29 2015, 04:27 PM) Sorry lo. Been trying to get an Orient for years and that seemed to be the best choice until the see the damn hands. Worse in real life. I've been tasked to scout for a watch as a gift, so now looking high and low.

QUOTE(Everdying @ Jun 29 2015, 05:25 PM) i think this is a old discontinued model? never seen it in stores here also, probably a JDM. Not sure about discontinuation, but so far I've found a couple of places carrying it. Most likely a JDM. The Subaru tie-up is the limited and "discontinued" version, but even that can get in eBay if one don't mind seconds.

QUOTE(Everdying @ Jun 29 2015, 05:35 PM) yea, this came out early 2014? anyway cool dial. i used to like this JDM one, discontinued also  I'm honestly in two minds about Orient Stars .. Heck, I'm even beginning to lose interest in SARB017 after I saw SKA533.

QUOTE(Everdying @ Jun 29 2015, 05:51 PM) i had a orient star before...pretty good value. decent movement, solid end links, nice milled clasp. i eventually flipped it as it got replaced by the aqua terra.  but i still been thinkin of buying the red dial version of it...just cos its red.  Yea, I was looking at the blue hands one for the longest time The red one is not as subtle as this  :

QUOTE(Everdying @ Jun 29 2015, 06:06 PM) the blue hands one actually nice la, but cannot compete with the omegas...then again its way way cheaper. while the milled clasp is nice, what i didnt like was it was abit thick. anyway who buys red to be subtle?  For the price point, I'll accept some of the little, and I do mean little, shortcomings la. It certainly will be utilised far more at that price point than the Omega that I somehow can only bring to use in special occasions (I know right?!). Well, I'll do subtle reds, knowing B&R and Hublots are just around the corner if I need something loud

QUOTE(twho @ Jun 30 2015, 08:44 AM) Nice.. but handwind  So you appreciate the effort and you remember the piece. Else, why not just get Everdying's favourite DW? QUOTE(alternativehype @ Jun 30 2015, 09:43 AM) Would like to hear the thoughts of watch aficionados on this... Which seems a better option? #1 - I have a really old watch, given to me by my grandfather... a Titoni Cosmo King, maybe from the 50s. Asked around and it'll cost me about ~RM500 for service and repair to bring it back to life. #2 - Spend the ~RM500 on a Seiko SKX007. With all my watches, I intend to keep it for life and pass it on to my children... ya ya, it's not a Patek but I'm not in the Patek league. Any thoughts are much appreciated. Which one would you wear? No point servicing a piece if you don't have any attachment to it and vice versa, no point buying a 007 if it's not going to be in use.
