Actually I almost got the dssd in June. Wanted some badass looking dive watch as a sporty watch......then i gay kiang go see panerai. Tried the 24 and thought it has more wrist presence than the dssd. After muh ding dong, got the 305.
It's very hard to deny panerai any wrist presence especially with a 305. Fancy a 187 but i know that i can never pull a massive 47mm sub off with my tiny wrist.

Wow it's been almost a year since I posted this pic.



Couldnt decide on which one back then. Was checking out the YG GMT but SA asked if I want a 5712 since price point not too far away. The brand ***** in me went for the patek.

Sold off both the daytona and daydate. Was getting bored of the daytona (no date function and quite useless chronograph function) while the missus hated the daydate. But I think I may still get a daydate later on.

Been fun on this thread. Made lots of frens. Had lotsa hotdogs. Seen lotsa hair. Tickled lotsa hands. Thanks for all the fun ya ;)

Dunno what to buy next. Or rather, what I can afford to buy next.

Given the choice , i would have gone for the Patek as well. Sinxe both price not much diff.

IWC for you next ? IW5023 blue dial jin swee... ;)

I'm not too keen on two tones (or rolesor) nowadays cos I feel theres way too much color and the half-gold feels wannabe (just my opinion) on sports models. On the datejust it looks ok but just not on sports models.



Well, also almost got some other divers but realized I will end up only wearing the panerai so didnt buy. Brandwhore mah.
The dssd didnt feel like its size at 44mm. Maybe becos of its thickness...? Nonetheless i like it as the toughest watch in the rolex lineup :) but unlikely to get one.
Maybe a 1978 daydate I head (18038?), white dial and roman numerals, brown alligator strap. That would be nice :)

No worries! We all have our own thoughts and opinion :) to me is happy can liao

Check out the sky dweller. I dislike it totally but when I saw it real life, it's shocking nice. No joke. Drooling

Haha nice bro. I thought of putting either a rubber or leather strap on mine.

Spotted a OL on the train this morning wearing her GMTc on what appears to be a rubber B..kept staring at her wrist...wanted to ask her how much she paid for it...but didn't...scared she think i am bian tai lao uncle color wolf..

Anyway it made me seriously consider picking up a rubber strap for my exp ii? Besides rubber B, what other options will work well?

Speaking of which, I saw a roger dubuis or some other brand pre owned selling like 1/3 to 1/2 of the retail price and it's scary.

Nato straps could work too. Have seen rollies on leather straps extensively and for me, they dont work at all.

I just came from the Cortina sale. Nothing interests me except for a tag monaco, too bad it was faulty, else I would have bought it.

Boxy winder is pretty popular. I think K2 watch has them :)
Carousell or taobao also has quite a bit of winders :)

Should've asked her, I mean, what could go wrong?

"Miss, how much? "
" Huh? "
" With rubber, how much? "

Any major brands besides their in house brands? So...not worth going?

Couple of tags, some maurice Lacroix, corum, chronoswiss, concord, porsche design and other Swiss brands which I've not seen before. It wasn't excciting for me, but if you have time you can go down have a look.

I'm personally partial to leather NATOs...
