Re: citizen night hawk

Oh, forgot mentioned that it is best to view the watch physically when buying. There are quite a few reviews complaining about the second hand not hitting the minute markers. I myself had to go through 3 samples before finding a reasonably accurate one. At 1st I gave up on buying one after the 2 uni...

Re: citizen night hawk

The image sensor is more sensitive to blue than our eyes. It is also because of the way my DSLR process the raw information. The white balance was on manual.

Thank you! The lume to the naked eyes is more bluish-green, but to the digital camera it is blue.

Re: Automatic or quartz

Accuracy is important to me so I only buy quartz. I really like the new Dracula Monster but I don't know if I can live with the few minutes per month deviation. So far all the new watches I bought have been solar quartz. Good to hear abro who knows what he is looking for ! Happy hunting. Thanks! Th...

Another photo of the Citizen lady diver's. Just photographed this tough beauty yesterday. Bought this for the wife as she never had this type of watch before. Coincidence. I just bought this for my wife too. Where did you buy it? I bought it from Skywatches' shop in People's Park Complex. Creationw...

Re: Gshock mtg

'new generation shock' :lol:

Anyway, if you really must have that watch, then you just have to pay the premium for it. That is what I did with the Giez. It is better to pay more that the 'one' then to settle for a cheaper alternative and regret later.

@balzebub71 and ivan. Thanks! You guys are right, couldn't be further from the truth. After I bought this in People's Park Complex, I went back and bought another Seiko. And I went back again and bought a Citizen diver for my wife! Talk about contracting the disease! Now I keep eyeing the ssc017 wit...

Casio service centre - general opinions?

I really missed the old agent - Marco Marketing. The experienced tech was friendly and very helpful. That has kept me buying Casio G-shocks for more than a decade. Tell me your experience with the Casio Singapore marque service centre. Basically I was there once to change a baby G bezel and was less...

The last time I got a Giez from a G factory in bugis i got the 'standard' 10% off. But that was a long long time ago.

Re: is seiko solar diver watches good to buy n collect?

Don't know about collecting but definitely a good buy. I have bought a pair of Seiko solar and now have caught the bug.
