yep. the moment it lands in one of the boutiques here, the price will rocket. am thinking of ordering though. it's rather inexpensive for the submarine pc, just USD$33.00 but am not sure abt the shipping and stuff.

Hmm opinions everybody: got my eye on this NOS watch being auctioned off on ebay, but i've checked with the company making the watch, and they tell me they've not made anything like that in the last few years or longer... however, this watch supposed to date around 1960s, and the company itself has been around for more than 100 years... so is this one of those mass-model watches released for public consumption by the company back then, or something cooked up in a shanghainese sweat-shop?

Is cheap, and i'm only going to get it as a beater, but still....

sorry, i meant Ball watches.

 

Ball is quite new in the market. distributorship is with HK.

 

 

 

Skydude,

 

i dont trade. it's my personal watch. if i sell then i'll likely get a black face Rolex Daytona which is the most sought after Rolex sports model in the market.

Hi guys. Need some advice.

 

After 2 Tag Heuers, 1 Monaco Chrono and a Link Calibre 36, I'm ready to move on to a more serious watch.

 

I have narrowed down to a few choices:

 

1) JLC Master Compressor Dualmatic for S$7900

 

http://homepage.mac.com/adam.madmusic/.Pictures/Watches/masterc.jpg

 

2) IWC Portugese Automatic S$13 000

 

http://homepage.mac.com/adam.madmusic/.Pictures/Watches/5001_009_l.jpg

 

3) IWC Chrono Automatic S$7900

 

http://homepage.mac.com/adam.madmusic/.Pictures/Watches/3714_004_l.jpg

 

 

To me, the most value for money is represented by the JLC. Great inhouse movement and a very useful complication. I already have 2 chrono watches, so having another stopwatch isn't important. The downside is perhaps the gimmicky looking dial.

 

The IWC Portugese Automatic is by far my favourite. Very nice inhouse movement, simple and classic dial that won't go out of fashion. However I can buy both the JLC and the Portugese Chrono for the same money. So it's expensive for a simple watch with only a power reserve indicator complication.

 

The IWC Portugese Chrono is ok. I find it just ok. Don't love it to bits, but don't hate it either. Dial is nice enough. I 'd rather have a date complication than a stopwatch. I wear chrono watches everyday and I have so far used the function just once in 4 years. However at S$7900, it is quite good value.

 

Another consideration is the Rolex route. Good solid watches, hold their values well. I just find the look very ah pek. Dunno, don't really dig them.

 

I used to be really really into Panerai, but the more I look at them and know about them, the more I dislike them. Post Vendome watches are merely marketing exercises. Not worth the money at all. So what used to be a must-buy, has now become a forget it.

 

Does anyone else have any insight? Different suggestions perhaps?

 

Thanks for reading.

Panerai are ok but the price to pay is way too high. it's due to speculative pressures. It really depends on what you are buying the watches for.

 

Investments or for personal use. I buy mine for personal use becos too cheap to consider real investment unless a few hundred grand Patek.

 

I personal favourites are Rolex Sports (only a few models) and Audemars Piguet Royal Oak series becos of the classic steel look.

 

It's good to get out of Tag Heuers and Omegas, these are more mass market watches, most of which dont have solid movements.

 

anyway, i'm no specialist or expert, just look look see see, hear hear say say
