i don't wear watches but decided to start wearing this one yesterday (no choice, my only watch as my ST died.) got it as a birthday pressie from someone who managed to hurt my heart....
but still, it's a beautiful watch
Swatch
UNCHAINED PASSIONS SUBK108G
Unchained Passions is an Original Square with adjustable square links stainless steel bracelet; transparent plastic case; white dial with Arabic numerals at 3, 6, 9 and 12.
p/s: i would not recommand this watch to any gal cos it is too difficult to shorten to fit a S or M size gal's wrist. -
bring it to a Swatch store to have the staff adjust for you, most of them are pretty well trained to do this, altho some aren't as deft as we'd like em to beOriginally posted by the_don:p/s: i would not recommand this watch to any gal cos it is too difficult to shorten to fit a S or M size gal's wrist.

Aulf, here's the 5508 was talking about - pardon the tacky URL.Originally posted by Aulf:In that case .. think I'll save up for a Rolex ... the Submariner is a tad bit 2 chunky for me ... perhaps the Yachtmaster or the classic silver Rolex Oyster Current asking price for a 1958 model in good condition is about US$5000. Personally, I'd rather spend S$6600 on a new Sea Dweller.
The Yachtmaster looks too TAG-like IMHO. For an all stainless steel Oyster, may I suggest an all-steel datejust Oyster with the polished (not fluted) bezel like this 16200 below:
That's not a monochrome photo, by the way - the dial is grey. Fluted bezels make the watch a bit hard to match with different dressing styles, so the smooth one is better in that sense. Of all of the marking styles on the dial, I like the Roman numerals best. -
Thanx ... the submariner is a timeless beauty and a fantastic watch ... check out the ltd edition green bezel one as well ..Originally posted by Gedanken:Aulf, here's the 5508 was talking about - pardon the tacky URL.

Prefer the one with the white face ... yah roman numerals are the way to go 4 me ...

bigger pic ....
the metallic green bezel contrasts beautifully with the black face ...

Ah, that's the 50th anniversary edition of the Submariner. Personally, as Submariners go, my favourite is still the 18K/SS with the blue face:
or the one with the silver Serti dial:

found a pic of the watch i was looking for

Reminds me of Rado.Originally posted by the Bear:found a pic of the watch i was looking for -
That's a cool watch, Bear - what's the plating made of?
-
Its a MovadoOriginally posted by Lingos:Reminds me of Rado.
-
Yes i know that. I just think it reminds me of Rado.Originally posted by :Its a Movado -
Yeah its very similar, some watch designers are known to 'copy' each other!Originally posted by Lingos:Yes i know that. I just think it reminds me of Rado. -
i think the plating is sapphire crystal or something
-
The first time I saw that style of design was on the Rado Diastar, back in the early '80s.Originally posted by :Yeah its very similar, some watch designers are known to 'copy' each other!
Yeah, Bear, I'd expect that a watch of that price range would have a sapphire crystal face. I was wondering about the black plating on the rest of the watch - it doesn't look anodised, and carbon plating can chip off, so that's probably not it either. -
HAHAH..Originally posted by :Yeah its very similar, some watch designers are known to 'copy' each other!
I wore that white one the other day.
Someone asked if it was..
1) DKNY
2) Guess..
Hmm... -
