buying a watch and thinking of resell value, better dont buy anything.

all watches lose value, its just the swiss constantly increase prices every yr or so which gives the impression that they hold value.
but reality is as retail price increase, so too does the used prices.

anyway, that omega rm20k...quite expensive already due to currency.
used to be rm18k retail.
find the older one with 2500 movement in used market should be around rm10k...newer model probably rm14k used.

i was half expecting a bronze pelagos to be launched
but looks like tudor now jumping further into the faux aged treatment with the markers...

imo technically its a watch made for righties / ppl who wear on left hand.
back when wrist watches were made, traditionally men all wore on left wrist...
then i think someone whos watch had a cancer growth masquerading as a crown guard, had idea why not put crown on opposite side so wont poke into wrist...
seiko smarter just move it to 4oclock position

anyway, im lefty also and every time want to wind those i do it upside down cos too used to right side crown.
so i dont buy any left side crown ones

true its probably easier to wind on the wrist if the crown facing away from u...but most usually say never wind on the wrist cos u may bend the crown stem etc.

Ball jumps belatedly into the Bronzo market...looking like a Zenith.


limited to 3000 pcs... nice price of usd1275...
too bad it uses eta2836.

don't like day / date.

rm2k...seiko or steinhart.

strangely i dont miss my steinhart ovm...tho i still got gas for the ocean 1 bronze...zzz.

the only one recently that hits the spot is the oris.
the tudor like the steinhart both use aluminum bronze... which to my eyes doesn't patina naturally as much as brass.
but the steinhart is much cheaper... so i dont mind it.

halios also uses alu bronze...margrette too expensive already.
another one of cos is the makara...but they seem to be having quite a few issues.
then theres helson and armida both made by the same HK factory...
anyway others that i like are helberg and archimedes....but value wise its still steinhart.

but this thing with lolex non-transferable warranty has been going on for awhile...
why suddenly again?

u can find threads on this going back 5yrs or more on both watchuseek and rolexforums.

cos ppl are willing to pay for design and the illusion of luxury.

if demand is more than supply, then why still got stock?

ah, tho i find it quite overpriced considering its aluminum bronze.

G-04 preorder paid...waiting delivery now

not sure how they doing the batches.
could be by first come first serve, or strap color.
i ordered with the green strap... tho i guess I'm also one of the early ones to preorder.

edge of crystal different

plus the sapphire has incorrect wording on the caseback.

but its been well documented already that its not the only one...regardless if it's certified or not.
im pretty sure u already know lots of others also don't like the 'only', even on the omegaforums.
i previously had a 3572, flipped it but still keeping 3570.
anyway the moon thing gets stupid... 1st chrono in space... 1st dog in space... waiting for 1st clown in space...

the only 'space' watch that i been wanting is a sturmanskie.


or more popularly known as the one gagarin wore into space... aka 1st watch in space
i missed out on a pretty accurate reissue couple yrs ago... recent ones kinda going their own way...so kinda meh.
pretty decent value that time around rm1.2k.

dont say u let the chrono hand run all the time?
