freakish Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 swiss military by wenger... d best! I have a two-toned swiss army watch, a silver swiss army with blue face, and one with a white face, and a swiss army sports watch with fabric strap, my ever dependable wenger (sak design) watch for everyday/anywhere use (swimming, climbing, gimmicks,etc..), a copper ladies swatch irony with leather strap. for the fancier occassions i wear my swarovski st. petersburg watch. i'm eyeing now a lady's oyster perpetual watch..hopefully i'll be able to buy it by next year.. or i'll just steal my hubby's 50 year-old oyster..hehehBut i really love Swiss Army and Wenger!! very affordable and reliable.

freakish Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 too many swiss army watches coming out... confusing everyone. there wenger, victorinox; then there's swiss army watches (S.A.W. co.) which is reportedly made in taiwan or china using swiss movement but intended to pass off as swiss made to deceive unknowing consumers. just make sure though that you are buying them from licensed distributor. I always check-out the store first before I buy..with so many fake watches there it's better to be careful...I heard there's a lot of fake rolex and cartier watches with seiko 5 machines being sold in the Philippines? and if you really don't know how to spot a fake one you'll be saying goodbye to your $$$$.

appellant2000 Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 for gimmicks, i wear my omega sea master. the one james bond uses, but without the gadgets. Quote Link to comment
ATONG ANG Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 for gimmicks, i wear my omega sea master. the one james bond uses, but without the gadgets. you have a nice watch there. too bad you dont wear it more often. though watches make a certain individual more appealing to the opposite sex, there is much more to it, like appreciating the time, effort and detail spent in designing, engineering and manufacturing it. listen to every curve and every tick. there is life beyond the chuck of metal and it is shouting out for you to wear it and display it in its grandeur.

ATONG ANG Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 ever tried alexis for wenger parts? but i'd doubt it if they would have on-hand stocks as these are not very saleable. give it a couple of months and be prepared for an overpriced quotation. Quote Link to comment

ATONG ANG Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 Atong: niiiice! I got a 1963 pre-moon speedy. cal.381 where can you get that sandoz Sub? how much? bought it at shing cheong watch co., hongkong this june for around 700 HKD. that's around 5k here. the address is 355 shanghai street, yaumatei, kowloon near mtr. other shops were selling it at 800-900 HKD. it also comes in a variant of 42 mm and 38mm and other color combination of satin/polished brushed SS bezel and blue/black dial. i dont know if stores in rizal avenue have NOS which are cheaper but stores in ongpin have already run out of stock as these are highly sought after in chinatown for its reasonable price and good looks. the movement is an ETA 2836-2. there is also a similar watch on sale pierre cardin but the center link is polished plus the crown is bigger and has applied logo, bezel dot and hour markers.

wari_aktiv Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 Atong Ang: I don't have any idea if they sell Alfexes here; personally, I got mine at Macy's in San Fo... Your bestest bet is to try Lucerne I guess... Bonito99: Hmmm, like I said, i won't say the brand, so I guess I'm going to plead the 5th on the Roadster... I have two watches I NEVER have used yet though, (it's in a "very safe place"), both given to me by my grandfather when he passed away; a Breguet Classique and a Patek Calatrava. Frankly speaking, I don't think I've achieved enough to have the right to wear them... Salut. Quote Link to comment
