IWC Pilot Spitfire Bronze 39mm

> IDR 56,000,000 <


There are quite a number of bronze watches these days as the material has gain more popularity amongst watch collectors. Bronze materials have this fun property of developing patina that is unique to the person wearing it as it reacts to the daily surroundings, and no patina can ever be the same, making the watch truly yours


This Pilot Spitfire Bronze is one of the best releases in such material. Its 39mm sized case is definitely a perfect fit for everyone, its neither too big nor too small, and its reasonable lug to lug distance also makes it a very comfortable watch to wear


I also need to remind you that this watch has strong anti-magnetic properties, hence why the closed caseback instead. The new pilot’s watches introduce their latest 32110 automatic calibre, which is developed and made inhouse, giving it a more robust and reliable movement


The dial is simple and straightforward, like other pilots they have made - large sword hands filled with lume and arabic indexes for clear and easy reading. Interestingly they have also opted of using a different patina shade of lume on the 12 3 6 9 markers, which actually works very well. Its base dial is very matte and in dark green, with a tiny splash of red on the spitfire text. What I love the most here is the date window at 3 actually - previously the date window is closer to the center of the dial, making it off-side from the index track - my ocd brain makes it feel that the movement is not aligned properly and is infact smaller than it should. But gone are those days!


Paired with a supple dark brown leather strap - the watch is extremely nice to wear day in day out. This particular example has developed a nice patina to it, but of course you can clean it up and wash it off - to "reset" the watch if you will, so it will patina along with you instead

Panerai Luminor Due 1250, 42mm

  > IDR 85,000,000 < There is just something really nice about these 42mm sized Pams, and this particular one, the Pam 1250, dubbed the Luminor Due, is a new kind of breed It has a perfect 42mm size, very slim profile (for a pam), and wears extremely wear. It still have all those uniqueness that makes the brand, but everything feels more refined here We then also have that extremely gorgeous grey sunburst dial combined with gold hands - making it one of the most elegant Luminors available Unfortunately it doesnt have a display caseback, but you are trading this with extra thin-ness, which is a win in my books It does feel somewhat unusual to have a Luminor being this thin on the wrist, but you'd wish all Pams arr built like this once you have tried it one Pam 1250,  luminor due, 42mm size, brand new, only tried on, feb 2023 Rp. 85,000,000 #jualanjam #jualbelijam #jualjammewah #watchesforsale #naninunenoready

Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39mm Blue

> IDR 94,000,000 < The OP39 is one of my favourite do anything go anywhere watch. This is due to its simplicity yet somewhat both casual and elegant in nature It is also too bad that they are now discontinued, but I find their 39mm size to be perfect for an everyday watch, super nice proportions on the wrist, and definitely very easy to wear This one here comes in a bright blue sunburst in colour. I find that making blue dials are quite a challenge, as they can look eiither bad or cheap or both. But I think they have achieved it well here, having spot on in their choice of colour, superb sunburst finishing, and a dash of neon green on the edge of the indexes gives a super fun splash of colour Their movement is of course very well made, super robust and definitely built to last. They are also very easy to maintain, and I havent encountered one that is fussy either.. Paired with one of the best bracelets in the industry, the oyster three link bracelet is extremely well made and fee...

Zenith Pilot Doublematic

> IDR 98,000,000 < Occassionally, there comes a watch that looks more like a gadget than a watch itself. Like this Pilot Doublematic here, is truly an incredibly complex "thing" that will sit on your wrist. Lets get this off first, the watch isnt small, those expecting this watch to be a "classic" size should look elsewhere. This 45mm sized baby will have presence on your wrist, as it should be. However, due to the quite manageable lug to lug distance, and the full dial, the watch actually look smaller than the size might suggest. As you can also see, there a whopping of 6 (six!) Crowns and pushers on the watch, each corresponding to a different function. And funnily, it doesnt look out of place at all The dial is busy, with a whole set of features that will take some time for you to process initially, and appreciate afterwards. We have a a bigdate complication at 2, a simple, but underappreciated feature that most watches dont have and is mostly reserved for ...
