re: Which watch do you own?

On my wrist - Omega Seamaster - Professional Chronometer 300M

Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean DeVille - should be with me by Diwali

An assortment of Seiko Premier Kinetic and Citizen Eco Drive watches.

I stay far away from watches with replaceable batteries. I was stuck for 2 days when travelling in EU w/o a working watch. After that experience no 'normal' quartz watches again. It is either automatic, Kinetic or Eco Drive.

PS - Rolex Submariner on my wish list

Here's a photo of my Seamaster Professional Chronometer 300m..(not taken with my camera as I don't have a macro lens). The Omega Seamaster and the Rolex Submariner range are my favourite watches.

For those who want a Seiko Automatic

This was last week at Shoppers Stop. There was a scheme of a free alarm clock which is over, but an enterprising dealer will always oblige.

re: Which watch do you own?

Folks,

Thought I would let you know my experience with Raymond Weil Tango. Here's how it looks like (pic from web)
Which watch do you own?-raymond-weil.jpg

I had purchased this watch 2 years ago and just 3 days before the 2 year warranty expired, it stopped functioning. I went to Zimsons' Garuda mall to have it checked. They replaced the battery and I was told all was right. 10 mins later it stopped functioning again. The guys checked again and recommended to get a free service done since it was still under warranty. I get to know today that some shaft has been damaged and it will have to be procured from Switzerland. I could not believe it. The guys were perplexed too. Since this was more like a dress watch, I had limited its use to only occasions and this is how I end up with. I will get updates from Zimson whenever the part arrives and hope things go back to normal. Will update you guys.

P.S - This isn't a maligning post against a manufacturer, but just to give a heads up to all the watch lovers here. Its a great watch and the bracelet is the best I've seen and felt even in prices 2~3 times of this one. Oh and don't lose your warranty card :-)

Has anyone seen a watch where the times are depicted at random intervals? I dont know how to phrase it correctly but the numbers on the dial are arranged at random and not in ascending or descending order.

Like if we go clockwise the numbers would be 1,5,8 and so on. It was from a designer by the name Fxxxx Xxxx something. I had seen the watch on the wrist of a passenger next to me quite a few years back. Im interested in acquiring that watch and now i cant seem to get it at any of the timeshops in the metros.

Has someone seen such a watch? It really was an incredible timepiece.

I guess it was but do they manufacture that watch now? Loved the randomness of it. Btw X was to denote a letter i couldnt recall.

Thanks

Edit: I checked their site now. The watch indeed looked like the one on the main landing page. The numbers were colored but im not able to trace the watch with the random numbers. Searching still. Thanks again.

Edit 2: Found it yippee!!!

I collected the watch today. Its now working absolutely fine. The funny part is Zimsons were not ready to disclose what exactly was the problem and what part they actually procured. I wasn't charged anything since it was under warranty. Observed it over 8 hours and did not see any unwanted surprises.

Now that RW problem is solved, I'll have to take care of a Vostok-Europe Arktika. Its a 32 jewels automatic and its minute dial has come off lose and dangling slightly. Movement seems to be fine. I'd like to try a different service center than Zimsons. Any recommendations?

re: Which watch do you own?

Well, Here are photos of my watches. Not as great or expensive as many peoples' watches collection here, but I like big watches & have bought most impromptu.

Cheers.

Please excuse for the extremely poor quality of photos.
