What's On Your Wrist?

the "my watch" app gets you all the watch porn you could ever need

[xtrachewy]

LOL - if only that was true I wouldn't have wasted $$ on mags (watches that is...).

A nice watch with a picture of Chairman Mao on it. His hands move to tell the time.

That's hilarious ... I have the same watch!

why does your portuguese 7 days have scratches on it!!! heretic!

I spied this Chinese made Sea Gull watch on a trip to Shanghai earlier this year. Not exactly elegant but gets comments all the time when I wear it. It is a wind up watch which I think beats the hell out of an automatic. Well for me anyway as I am not the mobile type. I like the proud 'China Made' on the face!

I didn't know till yesterday that you guys had this section on this forum.

This is on my wrist most of time, and sometimes a swatch or a g shock on weekends.

I wonder what happened to the photos so painstakingly took this morning of my watch?

[Rhett Morson]

dunno - but I saw one - was it an optical illusion or did the ROLEXROLEX slightly misalign with the minute markers around 1-2 oclock?

Not sure whether you were refering to my ealier post which I edited. But here is another pic that may answer for your query about misalign matter. Actual crown logo is sitting on right 12 o'clock position and ROLEXROLEX .

My G-511D G-Shock Cockpit Watch. Survived Basic Training, MTBing, Rock Climbing, Running and Swimming. Tough and Classy IMO. Still going great to this day!

My first tourbillon

Useful distraction during boring office meetings...

Holy moly, did you rob a bank to land that beautie

[mrdave]

Probably not mondie,

See http://www.flyingtourbillon.com/.

Perpetual look to be the Ming Da of mechanical watches.

Veefy, I hope you find that description apt and inoffensive.

As you can see from the signature, if it's reasonably priced and does the job, I'm quite happy to buy Chinese gear.

Apropos of the thread topic, I had to wear a suit yesterday, so it was the De Ville Prestige 4800.31.01, as per this:

Jeans today, so probably the B-42 Automatic day/date 645.10.12:

Yes, very apt.

Mainly in some aspects of finish of the dial it isn't up to Swiss standards.

[mondie]

Thanks for the link Dave.

Interesting watch Veefy, l could be tempted as its the only way my wrist would ever see a Tourbillion. How is the case quality and finish? Noce band and clasp. How would you get something like this serviced or did you buy it knowing that once it died that was it

Cheers,

mondie

No.

What price the handiwork of milk-fed Swiss virgins, eh? I'm going to marry Heidi and empty out her bank account.

A propos - I see that Nicolas Hayek died recently: the Lebanese gent who saved the Swiss industry in the 80s.

[xtrachewy]

Up to 4 watches on each arm.....impressive.

Case quality is good and the strap is alligator and is decent (its a deployment design) but case and stap aren't quite up to Rolex or Omega standards. They do compare favorably with other $1200 ish watches I have handled. For servicing I will send it back to the manufacturer (who is a watchmaker based in Hong Kong), he designed the dial and has been around for a number of years. The watch movements themselves are purchase by him from the Shanghai watch company or by Seagull (probably the best known Chinese watch manufacturer)

Bit more info on the grades of Chinese tourbillon here

Since these movements haven't been around for too long, the long term reliability simply isn't known.

How did I miss this thread! I had a five of my watches stolen recently so I have spend the last few weeks shopping. These are the replacements so far;

[DaveMS]

A fine collection ZSC.

All bases covered.

Shame about the robbery.
