Why you compare hand polish vs machined polished
Breguet banyak machine polished mark

I have no idea TBH. I was sad it wasn't a Charizard, put it in a sleeve and socked it in a cupboard somewhere.

Can it be graded in KL? I'm currently stuck overseas due to the closed borders, but for 2k USD, might be worth taking a second look.

but you have to be absolutely sure that it is a 1999 published 1st Edition pokemon card for that 2k USD price. If not, it's probably not worth more than a few hundred USD at best.

If yes, then congrats.. you should definitely get it graded.

I think the grading can only be done in USA. Can use services like this: https://www.carousell.sg/p/psa-grading-card...rvice-65657985/

to get help on sending your card to get graded.

dumb people still collect watches after smartphone era? hahaha

sounds like people who still play golf or petangque when most of the people gone cycling already as a high-end sport

wat wromg wif casio

I have just found out that modern Grand Seiko Movements are mostly unfinished on parts which are not visible through the see through caseback. This is quite a disappointment since GS is trying to match Rolex in price and a lot of their fans claimed that GS is high end and on par with Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin but at a lower price point.

If they want to increase their prices, at least make sure all parts are finished equally.

This is the movement plate for a Grand Seiko GMT.

And below is the movement plate for a Breguet 5177.

The biggest slap in the face is that an equivalent Breguet can be had for around the same price as a Grand Seiko in the preowned market due to massive depreciation on Breguet watches.

Hmm..

Hand finished yes, but from the picture you show its obvious the hand finishing didnt apply on the surface of the back where you can still see many circular milled marks.
They try to make it look nice but its a cheaper way to "make it look nice". if it's hand finished, or if there are additional processing done after the CNC milling you won't see those marks anymore.

Honestly it's ugly AF because it looks very rough and you can see the circular marks inside each "scale".

I didn’t know that Rolex is considered high end and on par with Audemars Piguet..

I didn't know GS is on par with AP too,  most i heard are ppl comparing GS with rolex jer

Maybe they are talking about Credor?
