What watch would you buy if you're in Japan?
« on: March 10, 2013, 07:59:01 PM »
Dear members

I will be travelling to Japan this month. Wonder what watch is good collectible?

In my mind I have this Seiko MM300, Orange monster J series

Any suggestion from the sifus and members?

Thanks in advance for your input

Cheers

There is a long stretch of street where something like our Petaling street call Shinseibashi lots of pre owned luxury watches.

Good time to get one preowned now as the Yen is cheaper

Enjoy your hunting

Thanks CK77,

I will definitely look for the Speedmaster vintage. Also I have decided to keep my Omega Speedmaster Moon To The Mars under the members preowned thread. (I have sent a notice to the Mod to withdrawn)

Thanks again

yes, i would go for SBGA011 if you asked for specific models. I haven't been there before so my choice of GS watches are pretty much open. Who knows, I could get the common ones if the prices are right.

Credors are beautiful. My favourite is a simple porcelain white dial Spring Drive. Truly beautiful, and I would pick it over almost any watch.



So captivating...but at only 25 pieces, I'll never come across the chance to procure one.

Agree with takashi, get the Credors. For its price you get to try it out before buying.
