I don't understand sometimes why with such a low risk platform, more indie makers would not try something with bit more soul and creativity, instead just plenty of homages or wannabes that don't inspire.

Bazel copy Rollie, case copy Saiko, bracelet copy Todor, = innovation, new item. Not many Franck Muller around already.

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... tongue.gif

Nah, I was just giving example of copy here and there and just release as a product. But with the price and material, its really tempting but i dont think this model is sustainable, otherwise they would go for mass production it in mainland and heck, using some seagull movement.

Agree that there are more life than just lolex, but ppl just wants to own it, even for just a short moment, its worth it.

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.

Wow, impressive opinion, not sure hows the movement game, but yeah if there is increasing demand of entry level OEM movement, the maker will going to make money and putting pressure on Swatch's ETA. Anything with "Automatic" label worth the bragging right if the current DW owner wish to upgrade their game. The easier route would be anything that label as "minimal", "bauhaus", "simplicity", "automatic". I wouldn't be surprise if DW going to release their automatic if the fashion market is too saturated. As for diver, i wouldn't be risking it for a kickstarter ...

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

Are you hinting hedging the forex risk by buying lolex? tongue.gif

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...

Wise strategy to up their game, and the social marketing really helps in pushing the poison. Also thats what traditional makers lacking of this digital marketing.

Interms of movement game, why not consider the newer boy like Nomos, or faux mechanical/ quartz like GS movement?

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 tongue.gif

Nope, i wear it inverted so the case back is facing me, to showcase how WIS was. tongue.gif tongue.gif tongue.gif

What caught my mind is the company that offer leasing on such luxury piece for a fraction of fee, like there must be a company that offer full package for lease including: suit, ride and escort. But who will patronize them...

suit, ride rental easy to find...can even rent luxury cars for monthly fees.
escort no need to say.

but i couldnt care less what ppl wear.
yesterday in mamak also i saw some aircon repair guy wearing a fake panerai ceramica...the one that can easily be bought...
so yea, this is asia.

Simply said, here doesn't care what you wear, is the moolah that you are able to flaunt. Uncle wear slipper can pay house deposit in cash, but wearing a panerai doesn't get you a free upgrade of large teh tarik.

i don't understand people who wear nice watches but dress like a slob.

Dressing is most important to me. Can wear a cheap ass watch but make sure your shirt, pants and shoes are nice. Doesn't need to be expensive, just make sure they look good.

Because the mainstream is to go casual, mean way casual = sloppy.

body language,  how you carry yourself, I think that says more about a person than the items on him. I'd give a nod to a person wearing a Casio or pedestrian Seiko.. but DW..lol. Fakes.. ok you're in the bucket of "people I don't want to know".

And a nod to Citizen.

For moon phase complication, I would prefer white dial. Why not consider Oris?

yeah initially thought about white dial, but something in me asked me to opt for the black dial instead haha.

Yep currently considering either Oris or Omega for my next watch, any recommendation?

Prefer something more sporty this time

But you have asked about the ML is more towards dressy piece. For sporty Omega, a Seamaster, For in between, a reduced Speedmaster seems to be quite versatile, though its a sport watch.

Its a better move if the car was on lease and paying cash for his watches right-out.

Patina watches are always around, it is not a trend. If you are talking about that state specifically, no, that to me is just ridiculous.

That was artificially induced patina by exposing excessive ammonia.
