actually who cares about that watch.
i rather take that Triumph bike

actually we all had full confidence that u will never achieve 5yrs.

im sure its good somewhere.
but to me just another meh piece buried under a pile of faceless kickstarter wannabes.
from far it kinda looks like a helberg due to the logo...even the bracelet looks similar.
and it always bugs me when a diver doesnt lume the bezel.

but it is amazing how they can get it down to usd199, then again its probably just them absorbing the hit hoping to get to the 2nd / 3rd models to bail them out...but im sure they're gonna be struggling like others by taking a hit so early.

haha, shes got good tastes

actually bezel is more of a zodiac seawolf copy...yes little known fact is that they also came out in 1953...same time with lolex and blancpain.
i've never seen a tudor bracelet like that...if by screw links...plenty of guys did it before already.

there is more to life than lolex u know...

ya but almost every single piece right now takes design cues and modifies it to suit them.
just those that copy outright are abit boring...which this one isnt really...just too many still jumping on the dive watch bandwagon...yet their watches dont really meet iso dive checklists...ie. just faux divers.

seagull think too highly of themselves nowadays...so prices increased abit...and they wont simply release their better movements...
even miyota are starting to have longer turnaround times for new batches for movements...too much demand...and prices also increased.
thats why most startups are using the seiko nh35 as they're still easily available and reliable.

older GMT with quick-set date ftw.
just like 3yrs ago can get pre-owned GMT for under rm15k.
bodo currency, bodo sheeps.

swatch ETA have already considered supplying movements again.

DW are smart enough to do not any swiss movement.
they will probably buy a china movement maker, then have the distinction of having a 'in-house' movement...

older lolex? maybe i prefer the movement.
but i definitely do not prefer the crappy bracelets they come with.
then finding one with crown still good is another challenge.
very likely a major service will be needed for them too.

i dont really play the movement game already...almost every movement is a copy of what has come before it anyway...
afterall one is gonna be wearing it, not watching the caseback thru a magnifying glass.
the trend nowadays is to watch the dial thru a magnifying glass

thats why i like the quickset date, cos i dont wear them often.
after having quite a few quickset hour movements, i just didnt want to keep turning the crown to set the current date...and i dont use winders.

as for switching timezones, the easier way is to use the bezel

WIS

so when u getting ur DW?

5000 sure screwback...price also at least rm1.5k...zzz.
better buy the cheaper dw-5030...get 2 for the same price...still screwback.

faster grab
tho i still wouldnt get it...im not a mad gshock collector...i just buy to wear and a 5xxx is something i wouldnt wear often.

somehow currently i am tempted by the steinhart ocean one bronze...
but i know i wont like its flat lugs...and aluminium bronze too just like the tudor is quite meh.
if only the oris carl brashear bronze was cheaper...

which one? the rm1.1k? not interested.
my ocean one i sold off ages ago...then again if bronze diver on leather...hmm

thats even more stupid, got 1 that is rm1.1k thats been unsold for quite awhile in the hobbies section.

got quite a few confused sellers who post there, or perhaps they just purposely post there so as to have their sales topic in more sections.

B&R announces their homage to DW.

congrats!
so whats it been? 5 days since u got the gmt?

for me its always body language.
u can wear nice watch, but if look like a slob also no one gonna entertain u...considering also that this is asia and fakes are everywhere.
