Racing Themed Watches

Post by salokiN » 20 May 2013 16:38

Recently laid eyes on this while shopping with my sis at an AD and really really poisoned... Been looking at racing themed watches ever since i got my Steinhart GP Chrono. :D

Any one has any other suggestions? Maybe more pocket friendly ones, hahaha! :twisted:

I've been looking at the Pan Europ too! The 60 hours power reserve is very impressive at its price point. But the pillow case macam a bit big hor :D

Looks good! Can fit under cuff of shirt some more. Maybe my wrist more skinny la, i'm 6.5" nia.

i really dig the leather and lug integration on the IWC, a bit like Hublot watches :D haha

All very valid suggestions bro, thanks for the input! But i'm of the opinion that the lack of metallic finishing on the face of Omega SMPs make it look a little casual. :)

Fir Iwc ingy, you have very very limited strap options cos of the lug design. You are pretty limited to their propriety straps. And each strap costs about sgd700 onwards.

6.5 inch wrist should be ok. Mines 6.75. So it should fit u better.

Or the ITALIAN design and assembled "cars with Chinese engine"?
Though Chrono movements not made by SEAGULL, they're column wheel as well... priced from 310eu ~ 410eu.

Discount too good liao, power reserve also discounted! :lol: :lol: :lol:


This is an option (although you already have the GP LE)

Image

Tissot, Mido all pretty affordable alongside Hamilton. Frankly any mainstream swiss make will be above 1k sgd and it would help if you had a budget in mind. Also, it only goes upwards with the other brands so be prepared to fork out more $$$ ;)
Enjoying Japanese, Swiss, Germans & Micros quartz or mechanical, solar/Eco or kinetic, electronic

With shipping to SG, 778eu. Base on current x-rates, should be slightly under 1.3k.
But add in GST later as well as FEDEX Charges... should be around 1.35k...

If i'm to compare this with the one from Christopher ward...
Image
which is the cheapest of all listed in the Christopher Ward site... but still expensive compared to STEINHART, with pairing black leather strap...
I would go after STEINHART, for the hardworks on the design of the parts and decorated movement.

Image
This may look sleeker and sexier, but still pricey... could easily hits 1.6k with shipping to SG.
