I saw this Bucherer watch before. With the B logo on the dial and states it is swiss made. But never see this in any watch shop.

What i'm fimiliar with is another brand with B logo which is Boctok.

Hohohoho.... I had a small collection of Boctok when I was a student, good value for money and not commonly seen then. Most are hand wind but my favourite one was an automatic Boctok, the escapement sound was loud enough to make you suffer from insomnia if you don't keep the watch in the drawer at night

[Darkness19]

adidas watches anyone?

wah, Phang you and I same same leh.

 

I had a 3 Boctok mech winding military watch and a Poljot pocket watch when I was studying too. Cheap and looks solid with Russian military insignias like tanks and wings and ships. The Poljot one even has the kremlin engraved somewhere.

 

Sold them away in the end. Maybe have one or two more which is not working in my drawer somewhere. bloody loud ticking , hahahah..

I still remember my classmates complaining while we were studying in the library, I had to put my left wrist under the table, the ticking sound really annoying, like a time bomb

I shelved my watches ever since I started to ride bike. I was wearing a Seiko diver at the beginning but didn’t like the feeling of having a chunk of metal stuck in between the glove and the jacket and ended up not wearing any watch unless I am not riding.

[skydude]

green sub very $$ leh

 

e design is to depend on individual lar

Bucherer is much more popular in Europe, not so in Asia.

Bucherer operates their own boutiques that also sells other branded watches.

Wah, hahah I also had a Seiko Diver. In fact I had two. That was easily 15 - 20 yrs ago. sold them both. One to a friend and another at a flea market. Wore it during NS days.

Green Sub (50th anniversary) street value now should be about $9k++

Totally same as normal Sub except green bezel, which blends in beautifully giving it quite a unique and special look.

 

It's hardly ever worth paying for (my Daytona Listed price is only $12k and I paid close to $18k) But Rolex is like that, you dont pay , you dont get.

 

The mark of a highly sought after watch. heh

Submariner LV (aka green sub) has thicker hands and larger 5 minute markers comparing to a normal Submariner if I remember correctly, very prominent green bezel, not easy to miss

[explorer]

LV nice......adds a touch of youthfulness into the submariner.....haha

 

its abit expensive cos oni the maxidial and green bezel and wider min hand....

 

if u like......then of cos worth the diff....

[Varas]

the green 50th anni looks like henniken might not suit everyone...think 11k now, 2nd hand ard 8-9k

THe evergreen black bezel still looks the best..

 

for Daytona, the white gold series looks the best.. with all the red wordings, red hands.. solid look plus solid price. 30+K

Thanks to the Japs, all prices for normal daytona all sky rocketed.

[explorer]

last time 11k .....now around 9k oni.......8 plus also have.....

 

as for ss daytona....it's a worldwide demand....not only bcos of japanese....

for Daytona, it's the SS model that is the hottest.

 

the white gold one with the red numerical face not so hot becos the looks is not as classic. Price expensive becos of material. Availability is everywhere.

[explorer]

yalor for so many years the 16520/116520 is the real legend in the rolex lineup.....

 

as to why it's really difficult to explain......some critics complain no date.....too much polished surfaces......but the demand never wanes....

 

one can buy a halfgold daytona at much lower prices than the ss daytona.....but most ppl just want the ss model.....

 

the wg daytona is nice of cos.....however with a list price of 39399....not many ppl can afford ma haha......i talked to watch palace before about the model.....and was told it commanded a premium at first....then list price....now got abit of discount lah.....
