Heh no watch costing more than 1k is worth the high price in my opinion. All a matter of personal preferences and values.ronnie wrote:I like PAM . I like the big leather straps . I like the worn distressed leather straps .
But I have not been able to own a PAM. The furthest I can go is to have a replicate PAM . This is because my wife does not like PAM . She thinks PAM does not justify the high price .

All the high price watch like AP, lolex... i really think they overpriced. Thats y i wear them as daily beater.
All those below 1k watch, i think their value is under appreciated. Thus i decided to buy and keep.
1 day... heh heh.
Imagine i can sell them at 1k.
Steady la.
Ok...
I m haolian.

This is also the only Longines that i have very positive impression on the "effort" they put in...salokiN wrote:...Recently just got myself a Longines, it's not anywhere near up there with the other big Swiss players, but i love the design, retrograde and moonphase complication, never regretted a single bit
This retrograde moonphase is cool, tried it on..but not cheap...Ed.YEO wrote:This is also the only Longines that i have very positive impression on the "effort" they put in...salokiN wrote:...Recently just got myself a Longines, it's not anywhere near up there with the other big Swiss players, but i love the design, retrograde and moonphase complication, never regretted a single bit
Although it will be a big challenge should anything happens...
This is the exact one that i got myself as a gift to pamper myself this Christmas, but it also means that i'll be off the watch market for quite some time.Ed.YEO wrote:This is also the only Longines that i have very positive impression on the "effort" they put in...salokiN wrote:...Recently just got myself a Longines, it's not anywhere near up there with the other big Swiss players, but i love the design, retrograde and moonphase complication, never regretted a single bit

Same feel here... but some percentage of thoughts on probably different sides...salokiN wrote:This is the exact one that i got myself as a gift to pamper myself this Christmas, but it also means that i'll be off the watch market for quite some time.Ed.YEO wrote: This is also the only Longines that i have very positive impression on the "effort" they put in...it will be a big challenge should anything happens...
I got the 41mm version, tried the 44mm one and it was so big it really looked like a clock. ... ...Got the roman numerals one compared to the arabic one because i feel that the subdials are all in arabic numerals already, if the big markers are in arabic too would be a bit overkill. Roman numerals balances up the look nicely IMO, and the moonphase can really make me smile sometimes, absolutely in love with this piece.
Even after discount @ roughly 15%... still above 5k siol...balzebub71 wrote:This retrograde moonphase is cool, tried it on..but not cheap...Ed.YEO wrote:

When there's a guilloche dial, I personally thinks the Roman indices will add a little more charm to the overall look of the dial. If any makers wants to use arabic numbers, the fonts will have to be Italic/slanted to add more feel to the vintage look.
I recently came across an Arabic one @ WoS, feels too modern. Yep... the price is not that budget friendly for some. Even with discounts given, will still hit a little more than 5k.
Actually you can wear 44 mah... your Steinhart Gran Prix is about 44 liaoz... If small @ 41, i see it a little cluttered on look...
Anyway... agree that this hoot sucked a huge chunk of your hobby budget... but perhaps too much that it may affect your next potential purchase of another STEINHART Anniversary L.E.
Hopefully you get big ang pow in the coming weeks to put you back to the game again!
