    GMT nathi divers labaida? GMT wadak nane apita
    Obviously මචං. GMT MOVEMENT වල extra parts තියෙන නිසා gmt movements expensive ඒ වගේම servicing expensive regular diver walata wada.

    Gmt watch movement type 2ක් තියෙනවා.
    1. Caller gmt / office GMT
    2. True gmt
    කියලා.
    1. Caller gmt movements simple. Modify කරපු day wheel mechanism එකකට 4th hand එකක් හයි කරලා තමයි දුවන්නේ.
    Seiko ssk කියන්නේ caller gmt එකක්.

    2.true gmt වලට නම් වෙනම dedicated add කරපු 4th hand එකක් තමයි තියෙන්නේ.
    Caller gmt වලට වඩා extra function එකක් විදියට minute hand එක එකතැන තියලා hour hand එක move කරන්න පුළුවන්.
    Sellita sw 330, eta 2893-2 true GMTs



    ඇත්තම කියනවනං ලංකාවෙ ඉන්න කෙනෙක්ට basic automatic gmt watches හරියන්නෑ.
    (Sellita sw 330, eta 2893-2 ඒවත්)
    Gmt වලට පෙන්නන්න පුළුවන් 12 time zones විතරයි 1,2,3,4,5,6..... වගේ.
    ලංකාව තියෙන්නේ 5.30 time zone එකෙනේ.
    30min time zone පෙන්නන්න පුළුවන් high horology movement වලට විතරයි.
    Battrey powered ඒව නම් ඕනා තරම් තියෙනවා.
    Automatics අඩුයි ගොඩක්.

    හැබැයි gmt dive watch වල rotating brezel එක කරකවලා 5.30 හදා ගන්න පුළුවන්. 3rd time zone එක විදියට.
    ඒත් Movement එකෙන් 2nd time zone එක විදියට බෑ.

    Got to try some nice watches today guys..

    Rolex Yachtmaster (steel watch with titanium bezel)I like this case (more polished, softer edges) and size over a submariner. But probably not as much as a GMT Master 2.

    uc



    A couple of beautiful pieces from Breitling`s Top Time range.. I am not a fan of busy dials like Breitling`s Navitimer range, but this Top Time range is just beautiful me thinks.. :)

    This one`s named "B01 Chevrolet Corvette". Perfect size, classic round shape and the red dial is just fantastic.. 😍😍

    Another one from Breitling`s Top Time range, this one named "Triumph".

    Love the red dial of the breitling .
    Everybody talking about how Tudor had become zero to hero in recent few years time. No body talking about how breitling leveling up their game in a same way as Tudor.
    Check the Morgan Stanley Swiss watch ranking by revenue. Breitling is constantly improving.

    Yeah, wonder where those sales are comming from. Maybe they've become popular in China/Asia. Their prices are generally above Tag Heuer and Tudor as well, so quite something to go up the ladder in sales.

    round 49mm machan . I'll update a correct value here
    after checking with calliper.

    How much bro. Very clean looking
    GBP 1100 Machan. Got a further discount of 100 . Total expense is about gpb1000

    Yes. That's why I decided to get this. A Very timeless design.
    Longines are masters of doing that .

    Citizen Eco drive use karapu aya innawada?

    I had this for about 1 year.

    Works perfectly, haven't set or adjusted time in about 6 months :D

    Aqua Terra dream eka 🥲

    Keep checking for Aqua Terra`s on used market machan (FB marketplace and stuff). An year or two year old watch can easily be had for about 50% off retail price..

    I almost bought this and gave up the idea in June last year, glad I did because they loose a lot of value in the used market.

    view


    The same watches` price before February 2023 price hike (in Aussy Dollars):

    1675228057684.png





    AFTER February 2023`s price hike :

    1675228030231.png



    So today`s price (After July price hike) is AU$9,750.00, so that`s a crazy $1325 price increase just within this year.

    Aqua Terra is a good watch, but I dont think it`s an almost $10k watch, specially considering depreciation in second hand market. So the used market is the way to go for an Aqua Terra me thinks.

    Is this with blue hands? Must be really nice when the light bounces on that with the white dial.
    Yes Machan..this has heat treated blued hands. Not a blue painted one. So it only pops only from a certain angle under bright light or under sunlight.
