Whats wrong with technomarine?  Not worth it ba?  My wife has one... hmmmm ... Masyadong common kasi ngayon.. parang tag heuer...

 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

how does 'flash in the pan' or 'dressed up japanese sports car' sound to you?

[ATONG ANG]

omega constellation is a good buy.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

for the woman, maybe; but for the man, i dont quite think so. its quite dressy.

what model are you referring to? most guys i know prefer the speedy or the sea monster to the constellation

[bonito99]

I have a SS 1967 Omega constellation. It's more like a sporty-elegant kind of watch.

re: technomarine

 

Kanyakanyang taste yan. Personally, I feel that kind of watch is too overpriced.

what's inside a technomarine? i think the overpricing comes with the fashion fad. strike while the iron is hot.

 

as to diamonds and gold in watches, they are really overpriced with regards to the actual price of these elements individually. a gram of gold in a watch may command up to ten times the price of gold in its pure unfinished state. if you really want gold or diamonds, just buy a necklace or ring.

I have three all automatic:

1. Everyday watch (Except Friday and special occasion) - Tag 4000 Series (been with me for the longest time)

2. Friday watch - Tag SEL

3. Special Occasion watch - Rolex Yacht Master

i found the SEL quite heavy. what is the difference between 2000, 4000 and 6000 series of tag? ive only had the 2000 series and have no comparison.

4 rolex watches, 1 cartier (2 toned) and 1 audimar's piaget (royal oak).

[bonito99]

Nice!

[hooray]

Swatch at Seiko lang po.

What's with the "Seiko lang po"? Methinks Seiko's way too underrated.

bonito99,

 

am just lucky, my dad loves and collects watches, after buying and wearing it for a couple of times he keeps it already. once i see that he doesn't use it anymore, i "borrow" it and don't return it back. :evil:

better buy some fake watches as dummies and switch it with the ones you 'borrowed'; if he's a collector, he's bound to check his collection out once in a while.

this seiko, along with citizen, almost obliterated the swiss watchmaking industry.

So did Timex when it began distributing through non-conventional venues like drugstores, supermarkets, etc.

 

But Swatch did teach Seiko, Timex, and the like a lesson or two...

When Seiko and Citizen outsold all of the swiss watchmakers combined, some had to merge to survive. Seiko and Citizen was dominant. Tissot, Rado, Omega, Longines, Blancpain, Hamilton went to a publicly owned consortium. Probably has something to do with the current resale of these watches.

 

I don't think Timex had the same effect. I wouldn't call Timex dominant at anytime.

 

Swatch was a rare swiss watch success story in that it profited making quartz watches. The lesson was to the swiss industry who tried to compete with seiko et all with quartz, but was not competitive due to it's high price. Seiko and Citizen had a different target market compared to Swatch.

i think swatch targeted the younger market which had a more potential future buying power. i didnt think they were after the immediate sales but more on the reintroduction of swiss watches in terms of quartz

[Mild Seven]

atong ang,

 

that's why i stated on my previous post, me and my bro's are a bit lucky when it comes to these things. 1 time lang ako tinabla ng erpat ko, nung yung hinihingi ko na yung tridor niya with diamonds, saka na daw sabi niya, enjoy muna daw niya.

 

yung blue face date lang, and sticks yung hour marks. pero may sentimental value sakin yan, it's the 1st rolex my dad gave me way back when i was in college.kaya di ko mabenta. btw, plastic lang yung lens di cristal.

 

what do you mean by " i wouldn't touch the diamond president if i were you"?
