The grey dial blends well with the stainless steel part of the jubilee bracelet. it's more uniform to look at having only 2 colors on your watch. Have you noticed mine has the grey dial also (previously posted image)? Quote Link to comment

ATONG ANG Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 *med oyster perpetua-rolex, patek phillipe, omega...haaaay i wish a have these watches<{POST_SNAPBACK}>if you are in jersey city and have a regular job, i dont see any problems with getting one of those watches. a pre-owned omega will fetch you $300-500 and rolex at $1500-2000. its just a matter of really wanting one and adjusting your expenses.

ATONG ANG Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 lots of pre-owned watches being sold at bidshot and buyandsell. looks like tuition has taken front seat Quote Link to comment
skicker Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 I did'nt know anything about watches until I came across this thread. Mr. Ang, after reading your posts, I have learned a lot from you. You are a walking database(parang grade school lang si Ernie Baron sa iyo). It so happen mahilig din ako sa food kaya I read the Food thread. Very ggod Mr. Ang Keep posting and I'll keep reading. BTW what's your take on BVLGARI timepieces? lots of pre-owned watches being sold at bidshot and buyandsell. looks like tuition has taken front seat<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Quote Link to comment

BTW what's your take on BVLGARI timepieces?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>my own personal opinion. i dont go that much for watches with designer brands which makes a part of the integral name. for instance, a watch designer would most likely design watches with their other lines like jewellry or clothing in mind. bvlgari, like cartier and is one of those 'houses' which create jewelry, accesories and watches. except for omega, which has its own bijoux jewelry line but concentrates on its watches' designs, most watch afficionados prefer brands like rolex, iwc, patek, breitling, and the less expensive but technically artful oris. you dont see rolex eyewear or patek neckties. but dont get me wrong, bvlgari makes nice timepieces. its just a matter of preference, just like how many watch lovers prefer the accuracy and craftsmanship of mechanical watches over quartz movements.
