The Watch Thread - Part 8

Lol! But can't see yr shoe leh...Gd try tho..

next time I do a "hand grab leg, show shoe" photo

Actually, it will be for the Nautilus!

I will wear it on the plane, but since the flight will take 18 hours, I will take it off after I settle into the flight. During this time, I don't wish to have it flopping around in my bag.

I like to have my bag below my seat so that I can access my stuff during the journey. And I know after a while, I will forget that I have an expensive watch inside and step on it or chuck it around. Having a case for the watch will prevent potential damage.

I will only take it out and wear it once I've loaded my luggage into my rental car.

Is it safe? There have been cases of theft from carry on luggage on planes... Isn't it better to wear it?

Hmm, I've never had it happen... The bag is literally with me at all times.

I used to just chuck my watch in one of the bag pockets, and I always end up forgetting there's a watch in there and stepping on the bag. I'd hate to image what my full body weight would do to this particular watch due to the way the bracelet sits...

TT uncle seem to misunderstood my post. I have never said to buy a fake.

What I meant by spending 11k is like spending 110, is that one can be so rich until spending 11k is like how we feel when we only spend 110 (feels like only a small pinch)

Bro, exactly how I feel. That's why now, I rather spend my money on watches around S$1K or less.

I've been thinking a lot about homage vs replica, and if there is any acceptable way to justify getting a replica. I'll probably make a lengthy post later on, hopefully to start a meaningful discussion.

Our bro seat First Class lah...no danger

Personally i also don't wear them, I keep them in my watch case as easier for security check.

Is there really exposure of theft?

 

[Thai_Rak_Thai]

what do you guys think of the cartier ballon bleu?

yay or nay?

Nice and dressy, but I would prefer their Tank

 

[tHeGeNeZ]

Hahaha I will take that as a compliment talon

On a side note, does anyone own an isofrane strap?

I'm looking to get this expensive rubber compound strap and I would like to know what's the best width I should get for my 20mm lug width MM300 as some people claims that 22mm will be fit nicely within a 20mm lug width as the rubber is pretty soft.
