I am willing to bet SGD34K that those fuddy duddies from PAP would have never allowed these superb watches to be sold retail anywhere in Singapore.

Cannot be.... We are in good hands de

Why Seagull has such a good series?

yep, Tudor is a better value proposition especially now with their MT inhouse movement. Omega used to like that when they used ETA movements, before they put in their inhouse co-axial movement. Then they went down the path that Rolex took, jacked up their prices like crazy. My pelagos is my daily beater, but I use it on a rubber strap.

I like Citizen with the Eagle Badge ... even the clock in Narita Airport is Citizen.

Ever since I wore a Samsung Watch, I never look back

If money is no object, then this Breitling Blackbird Avenger will be my object of desire.

Agree whole heartedly - bought this used pre-covid well under $3K with boxes and papers and still wear it on weekends alternating with my Avenger Seawolf II

Both, for similar watches, wear different and suit very different outfits/outings with the Blackbird being more understated and stealthy and the Seawolf more in your face

My best watch was from the 70s. My HongKee uncle gave me as a present and it attracted lotsa attention in class. It seeps battery like water and was heavy as fuck though.

That is the forerunner to the Hamilton PSR - a beautiful piece available in DLC steel

My fav was the Aerospace from the late 90s. It was light as fuck and made me feel ripped-off paying $1800 for something so weightless. But it did made me felt like a real man.

So how much is this going for?

That's a lot of money to pay for nostalgia and old tech.

I like Breitling purely for that winged insignia. Sibeh garang. And the name just oozes class.

Atas Nippon stuff

Atas Nippon stuff

This is not atas.
Atas is the Seiko Springdrive.

At my uncle's watch store, those watches are risky, because if you do not aell it faar enough, the wholesale prices declibe every month.

Well SG has its own microwatch brand that is making waves. Started in 2017 by NUS Mechanical grad Elshan Tang, Zelos has quite a following among watch enthusiasts and bloggers. I bought the Horizons V2 GMT 200m SS Blue Meteorite, using the Swiss ETA 2893 movement. Depending on the model the movement tends to be Swiss Sellitta or La Joux Perret or ETA and Seiko and even Miyota in their earlier days. Still have it. And when other enthusiasts recognise it they fawn over it. Frankly, I love it. well made and well priced (between USD 600 to 1100) depending on model.

This is a newer model also same aesthetic Spearfish GMT Meteorite Sellita movement
