Stainess steel rolex oyster perpetual datejust with roman numeral face. Just that. Wala pang budget para mag-upgrade. Been with me since the mid 80s. Still working. Ipapamana ko nalang sa anal ko ito afte her finishes college (matagal pa yun).

no need to upgrade that watch. it is already very beautiful. you forgot to include the dial color and type of bezel.

the oyster case is one of the most durable and copied designs for a case. it is also very simple; however, that doesnt mean it's built like a tank to be abused. ive seen numerous times gold centers of end links of 2 tone submariners come off from high impact. ask rolex center customer service ladies and they would confirm it.

MY FAVORITE WATCH...IF SOMEONE WOULD BE KIND ENOUGH TO GIVE ME ONE...GOT $3,000 INSTEAD?

[Mild Seven]

notnot,

 

bulgari chrono....if am not mistaken my dad has one too....nice watch tho for a chrono i find the circumference of the face quite small. was about to wear it actually, kaso lang my wrist is small, pag binawasan ko yung link di maganda yung porma sa wrist ko....don't know why.

 

right now, favorite watch am using, rolex solid gold yacht master men's size....para masulit yung binayad ko sa service....langya it was quite expensive. hopefully it will take another few years before i have it serviced.

I only have 2 watches that I regularly wear:

a 13 year old Tag Heuer F1 in steel (Black and green face) got it for only P 2,400 in HKG.

a Kenneth Cole dresswatch (my ex gave me this)

 

I also have an old plastic Tag Heuer F1 (Yellow face and gray strap) which my mom got me in 1987 (for only P 1,200) - now my brother is using this one.

some old 80's swatches and benettons, a Marcos tolentino watch in a box.

 

My dad also has some nice watches in his collection - a few Rolexes and Omegas, am eyeing a yachtmaster or his banged up submariner, problem is - those watches look awkward on me - they look better on bigger people.

 

 

Am seriously considering getting a watch for Christmas, am considering getting a second hand Rolex or Omega. I am also looking at Tag Heuer again or an Oris - any insights on those Oris watches?

oris watches are good. i personally would have wanted to get the wiliams ralf schumacher but he left just about the time the model came out.

 

dont worry about having a big watch on your wrist, you would get used to it. it is a matter of personal expression.

mild seven,

actually, the 1st time i saw that BVLGARI CHRONO was in the movie of val kilmer "the saint", i got curious and liked to own one ever since. im saving for it now, mas mura on ebay, its $3,000 but i saw another chrono version sa seoul, sk which cost around $5,000, dont know if it was the same model. for the meantime im enjoying my tag heuer pro f1.

What I meant was - wala pang budget na mag-upgrade ng mas mahal na rolex. It has a white dial with raised black Roman numerals, fluted bezel and presidential bracelet. Once nasa HK ako pinalinis ko, sabi ng nag-aayos rare daw ang face na yun. Kaya di ko masyadong ginagamit.

a white dial with raised black roman numerals is indeed quite rare. im not too familiar with vintage rolexes. was it bought brand new or preowned from a collector?

oris makes only mechanical watches. fine craftsmanship. very simple but elegant/sporty styles. tag is very commercialized after being purchased by lvmh group. i can imagine the yuppie wannabe with a tag, a lacoste shirt and colehaan shoes.

rolex and omega are both fine watches. depends on what you prefer. omegas have more finely crafted cases and bracelet but rolex is more sturdier. as for service, both are just fine having ample spare parts. i had my omega speedmaster chrono serviced for 12.5k and rolex datejust for around 8k. was told tudor chronos, which have the same valjoux movments, are serviced at around 7k. another point against rolex is that the fakes are more accurate in copying rolex. omegas imitations are lousy copies.
