Hi
« on: June 24, 2010, 10:52:07 AM »
Guys...

I am a newbie here. For sure.
I love watches, i own a few and dream to own more a lot...

I ocassionally write things...and i have blog on watches which simple a crap...nay, I am not good in it..

My watch collection , rather cheap and crap...Own one replica .and the rest of the wacthes is not something impressive from comapring to what you others own.....

But am enjoying what i been doing...maybe most of the time is "syok sendiri" but its ok...

Anyway a great blog nonetheless...and I am here looking for people who share same interest and care enough to teach me a thing or two on watches...like said I am a newbies

Check out my crappy blog if you feel like to.....hhahahahahah

Thank you Guys...

I own several watches. my best watches so far would be my two Invicta, ( Invicta Men Force Collection Gold Rose #5841 and the Invicta Corduba)
 I have one Guess (which was bought , at that time i love watches, but dont know much about it...i should have spend the same amount of cash on something else...but it is a great watch anyway, so I am ok with it) I have three other watches...I love automatic watches, I love watches with great function but also love a handsome looking watches...

On top, i recently ordered a homage watch...I know some of you may not agree with doing so..I know it is not real and wrong, buy hey, I really want to own one and that is all i can afford for now. Back to that, yes I ordered a watch from GETAT. I am sure some of you may have heard of it. And to make it less "fake" I choose the so called sterile dial...that sound cheesy right...sterile dial...well, in other word no branding on the dial...a Panerai look alike

However sad story, I lose lots of watches when I am much younger....Those day, I love my watches but I am damn stupid careless little being....
I have lost a G-Shock, a Seiko, a Guess, a designer brand watch which i forgot the brand name but was given to me by the interior designer of the boutique as a gift, and I also lost my most expensive watch....The Cerutti Udinease Uomo Rose Gold. This was robbed from me on my trip to Bulgaria. The other well, I am just careless.

My dream are wild, my appetite are high...

I have set that I must own a Panerai, the original , before i reach 30.Which i have 2 years to go. Other than that I am always in love with Graham, and one of the reason i join this forum is to look for Graham owner, never met one...

The blog i wrote is my passion, i choose watch that i have interest with, Some of it may be weird or odd looking  and not even famous. But hey, I am just sharing what i love....

I love this forum...Great place.

U kinda sound embarrassed with ur homage.  ;)

I've got a problem with fake replicas but am ok with homage watches. Plenty of brands have paid homage to one watch or another. Heck, even fashion brand Levi's have U-boat style homage.

IMHO, Davidsen makes better PAM homage watches. But his price is at least 5 times that of Tat's. With Tat u need to tell him to take his time bcoz his orders are piling up and he tends to be a bit sloppy (sometimes). This could be bcoz his customers are getting impatient and is constantly chasing him for updates.  :P

Good luck in ur quest for a PAM.  :thumbsup:

Duniajam - yeap, I am here thanks to you bro.

Adrian - Not that I am ashamed with myself for owning one...Back in my kampung, no one would even know what is a real Panerai...so no, I am ok with it...but here...wallawey...look at those watches posted...hehehe...so malu with u guys a bit...but at least i dare enough to admit yes I own one homage (which has been one and half month since i ordered and yet to arrive...grrrr) Agree with you on Tat...i will post some picture once it arrived safely...
owh by the way, I am fake as i own one fake Panerai..that was 3 years ago...very low salary, very high desire...so i just bought it....and i still keep it till today.... :HammerHead:

Scott i will upload photo soon, but u can also check my blog and look out for Invicta...some of those are mine...pretty interesting watch to me....heheheh

Last but not least...to celebrate that I joined this forum and also to thank those who visit my blog, i put up a special banner to welcome all of you to my blog...

cheers

It's not wrong to own a homage watch. A homage watch is not a fake because it does not claim to be what it isn't. If you search around the forum you'll find that there are more than a few of us who own homage watches. IMHO a homage watch can be considered a reproduction of a historic model which is no longer in production. It pays tribute to the original masterpiece without the false branding of a fake.
Here's a pic of my 6152 homage, courtesy of our resident watch meister Chris Yen.



Do post pics of your watch from Getat.

 :Cheers:

This is homage to combination of watches right ? The dial look like the IWC pilot. My boss own one...of course he bought that at 40k ++

and the case is homage to radiomir ? correct ?

What ever it is, it look clean and simple, i love the strap though...UNfortunately, for me i didnt get the tat hand made strap...I purposely choose not as his one is 24/24 but since i need to match my case color and the buckle color, i opt for 24/22 which is not handmade...sigh....

I ordered the super Lum , and wondering whether that would make any diff or not...hehehhe....
