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 higher end pieces. The we have a chronograph function, with a single 30 minute counter subdial, which you can time all sorts of things


Then we have the worldtime and 24 hours timezone indicator, meaning you can easily glance and check what time it is anywhere in the world (hence being a pilots watch), and uncommonly - an alarm feature that is operated by the crown and pusher at 8. And of course, you can toggle it on and off as you please. When activated, the dial of the alarm is actually animated indicating it is active, while also serving as a power reserve


From the back the movement is on full display for us to enjoy, and is finished at the highest standard. Obviously an el primero inhouse calibre, with a lateral clutch chronograph too. This feature is also harder to develop and make, and is also usually reserved for higher end pieces. The benefit is the movement is more open than vertical clutches.


Sure its not something like a grand sonnerie, or a tourbillion, or that sort of complexity, but all the complications here, are actually - to me, practical and useful in our daily lives

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...
