Curious, how’s the Ball tritium doing after < 10 years. Anybody here got one running that long?
Blink of an eye it’s been 12 years with my Brad Pitt Tag. Now he’s with Breitling liao and I am still stuck with the Tag. Send it for full service outside also cost RM1k+ with all the gaskets and stuff. |

QUOTE(Jason @ Dec 29 2022, 01:05 PM) Okay pulled the trigger. The only gripe I have with the SM300 diver is the lume is laughable. The BB58 outshines it by far. Supposedly the Sub killer, with that kind of lume it's just shooting in the dark. The BB58 definitely wears better, a smaller and more manageable size, but the white dial and the depth with the indices on the SM300 diver just pops, can't stop looking at it. Saw the green SM300 diver, spark no joy. Already ordered a rubber strap + folding clasp for the SM300 diver...RM2.2k for that... with no discounts gotta wait a month or two for that. The bracelet is good esp. with the micro adjustment but its just too bulky cause it doesn't taper! Oh ya the fake rivets on the BB58 is just silly. Congrats! No bad choice here if you ask me. The BB58 really punches above its weight, at the current price genuinely a steal..before more price hikes. [attachmentid=11370937]  One probably fits a larger wrist better, while the other a smaller wrist. I’ve recently sold the last of my Omegas and moving towards smaller watches as I approach my 40s  |

I'm targeting the green Seamaster, one was offered but I didn't felt it was the right time to take it up.

Maybe it’s just me.Might cop a GS also if I see one I like. And it’s just model numbers instead of proper names? I feel the way the Swiss categorize watches makes more sense. |

People usually call it by the nicknames la which I have absolutely no clue about.And it’s just model numbers instead of proper names? I feel the way the Swiss categorize watches makes more sense. My plan is just go see, put a few one if one catches my fancy I'd buy. I still am hoping they will have a 38mm SD at a reasonable price, but so far I see most is at 40mm size which I personally feel is big to be a dress piece. |

QUOTE(Chinoz @ Dec 31 2022, 06:10 PM) Congrats! No bad choice here if you ask me. I started with a 41mm, then a 36mm and now this. I realised I don't care much about the measurements, more concerned with how the actual thing looks and feels on my wrist. One probably fits a larger wrist better, while the other a smaller wrist. I’ve recently sold the last of my Omegas and moving towards smaller watches as I approach my 40s Long ago I was so intrigued by the Oris TT1 diver thanks to photos, but cause of the case design and how it sat, didn't work for me. Now I am trying to see how a small Cartier Tank Solo/must 24.4mm fits-- if I find one. The current release was resized to 22mm for the small and 25.5 for the large. Given that it is quartz and super slim 5.55mm for the old one, 6.6mm for the current one. Minimalist, and never out of style, like Ray-Ban Aviators. 22mm was... laughable on my wrist. Not sure why Cartier went and did such a resize, I assume it is to fit the solar beat. rx330 liked this post
