Popular Brand Wrist Watches Only Watch Enthusiasts Would Want

[blackmondy]

Breitling is overrated and overpriced. Just the name only. I'll go for a Titoni Airmaster or Cosmo King anytime.

Every watch is overpriced because there is many middlemen from factory to agents to resellers and each party takes a cut. And Swiss watchmakers will raise prices by 10% yearly, so the same watch will cost double in 10 years time.
You can mitigate this by buying parts and assembling the watch yourself.

You fucking imbecile.

If you buy a Patek now, u can easily sell it for 30% higher in 10 years time. It’s a bargain.

I never like the Breitling look anyway. My daily beater is a Casio or Seiko 5. I own a Rolex Milgaus green sapphire and an Omega Seamaster but seldom wear them.

KNN my uncle is not a watch enthusiast but if my uncle want to participate here he can only say
1. His $200+ seiko watch look nice manlee and performing preciselee for the last 25 years KNN
2. Once his backside itchy went bkk night market and bought a Q&Q for sgd $8 and ended up looked down by prostitute KNN this lesson taught him that don't wear watch is better than wearing a pasar malam watch KNN

@glockman I see many continental watches here so I’m shy to contribute to your thread my Asian watch that I seem to like, a humble Seiko. Hope you don’t mind.

Bestest watch is Keechiu's Casio watch.

Rolex Milgaus is in high demand now. U can make a tidy profit if you decide to offload. It’s surprising. I was seeing it everywhere until the demand spilt over from pent up demand of consumers not being able to get the Rolex Daytonas or GMTs.

Grand Seiko eh. Often underrated brand but it’s movement if you are able to observe up close is probably one of the best. Sweeping movement without the slight stutter with most watches even the expensive ones. Of course it has to do with the fact that the movement is a bit of a hybrid of an automatic + quartz in its Spring Drive movement.

Grand Seiko Spring Drive

This brings us to the famous Spring Drive. The beauty of it is that it combines the works of automatic mechanical movement and a quartz watch, which shoots it to the top of the charts when it comes to the accuracy. Therefore, Grand Seiko timepieces with Spring Drive inside are on the higher-end of pricing under brand.

One of the most famous Grand Seiko watches with Spring Drive inside is certainly the Snowflake (SBGA011), with its captivating white dial that reminds of a fluffy snow and 9R65 movement with 72 hours of power reserves. The Snowflake’s accuracy is rated to 15 seconds per month, just for a reference, as well as that of other watches with the same caliber inside, such are Grand Seiko Spring Drive SBGA001, SBGA003, SBGA083 and SBGA085.

The Blackbird Chronomat from the 90s is still one of the best-looking chronograph to date.

I never sell my watches. Except for that silly size 34mm Rolex which my client gave me recently which I am now trying to offload.

We underestimated this guy. We were all fooled by his "humbleness". This fucker has millions in his bank account, the Casio watch is merely a prop in his role play as a humble servant servant. Macham cosplay!

Zenith El Primero should be the chrono watch of choice. Even the Daytona used its movement for the longest time. It's really value for money as compared to the Daytona. It also has an industrious history.

I love the 1st-gen all black Flyback. Subdue, masculine and elegant all encased in one. I remember asking the price in the early 90s. It was close to SGD5000 then. I can't imagine how much this watch costs now.

Oh yeah, that's a beauty! I like all black too. This is the rainbow version, funky!!! Not sure of the prices for these, probably five figures.

The very 1st chronograph I owed around year 2000 from Fortis....Paid SGD1500 for it then. Topped up $200 for sapphire crystal glass. Using the tried and tested Valjoux 7760 movement. Too bad the company went under. All their chronograph models really looked very sporty.
