ATONG ANG Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Tissot PRS200.....4 years na and counting...<{POST_SNAPBACK}>tissot makes quality timepieces. owned a tissot pr100 moonphase previously but had to let it go because my wrists grew bigger. i sometimes have a sense of guilt when a watch is sleeping inside my safe knowing that someone else would pamper and use it but just couldnt have it. made sure to sell it to one who would take care of it.

Mild Seven Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 it makes a person look kinda older. wouldnt want that, would we? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> atong ang, padre honestly di naman, bagets looking pa rin kahit may diamonds probably because of the bark finish. frankly i wear it on a regular basis. yun lang nga feeling ko di niniwala yung mga tao nakakita na akin yun, mukang hindi ko afford yung relo. :cry: Quote Link to comment

pokpok Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 GMT II or Submariner? Some say GMT is more bang for the buck. Any comments? Quote Link to comment
ATONG ANG Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 GMT II or Submariner? Some say GMT is more bang for the buck. Any comments?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>in terms of features, it is because of the second and third time zones but i doubt if many use it. the same can be said for the sub, how many actually dive with their rollies? most just use the bezel to time their cooking. if you are comparing them in terms of aesthetics, it has to be model to model basis. some prefer the two tone gmt over the two tone sub but s/s sub over the s/s gmt. another issue is between choosing a two tone black or blue sub and between a regular sub, sub with date or the kermit. i think it would be a question of preference in terms of looks rather than function Quote Link to comment

ATONG ANG Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 Anyone know where to buy a Sandoz watch in Manila? Thanks in advance <{POST_SNAPBACK}>rizal avenue or ongpin but it is cheaper in hongkong. its local service center is at ever gotesco. what kind of sandoz are you looking for? if its the sandoz sub, i suggest you buy abroad as i have a watch jeweller friend who told me there is a problem with the locally sourced sandoz sub with regards to leaks in the gaskets. if you're after the rolex datejust types, i can refer you to some shops at ongpin which sell them but the selection is not that complete compared to hongkong.

I am looking for the yachtmaster,explorer and airking types. I found this website that sells the made in Singapore Sandoz with sapphire crystals with a link to the made in Hongkong models: http://www.pmwf.com/Watches/WATCHSALES/San...eSalesTable.htm The price for the yachtmaster is $225 plus $25 shipping. For me it doesn't really matter where it's made. The main difference seems to be in the crystals since the movements are very similar. Quote Link to comment

ATONG ANG Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Atong,Do you know the differences between RXW and Sandoz? Thanks for your responses <{POST_SNAPBACK}>im not too familiar with rxw watches. all i know is that they are japanese made based on the vintage rolex designs with mostly eta movement. as to sandoz, the address is SANDOZ WATCH CO (FAR EAST) LTD., 11th Floor, Chung Nam House, 59 Des Voeux Road, Central, Hong Kong. local service center is located at EVER grand central , Kalookan. rights to the sandoz name was bought by hongkong. they use swiss eta movement with cases made in taiwan. i believe the cases are now made in china as china metallurgy has improved vastly to the watchcase-making standard. ive seen the sandoz sub singapore model and it case. band and dial looks exactly like the pierre cardin submariner which has a japan movement. IMHO, sandoz sub hongkong has more bang for the buck, and i prefer its whole matte finish on the band. i 'd choose the stainless datejust models for fear of gold fading. ive seen the datejust lookalikes and they have nice mother of pearl dials.
