thanks bros! what are your last hoots for 2016? :D

My last hoot of the year was a no-date SubC. Since you so long never visit liao I'm ImpatientStudent btw haha 😂. Also ORD-ed Loh!

P.S Don't think I'll be buying anymore watches next year liao. Most likely just trade up my 2-liner Pelagos for the Pelagos LHD.

Been staring at this for hours. My mind is blank


congratulations bro Thai_Rak_Thai dai kor!

it means you've attained watch nirvana right now! you're in the zone that's above and beyond any erogenous zone!

a state of mind so pure, so perfect, so peaceful, so fulfilled, so contented, so complete and so ardently pursued by true watch aficionados that it's even (dare i say) better than sex! :eek: :D :s12:

congratulations on your good, fine taste my young impatient-mpcdude bro! and also getting your pink IC back. going local u or overseas?

the no-date subC is THE watch to buy for the serious, hardcore rolex collector!

here's my short write-up about the different types of rolex for different types of people: http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/e...y-new-watch-hoot-5528482-8.html#post105345200

then you've already got it made in the average joe's eyes!

rolex sub not uncle hor. rolex sub on wrist = made it, youth, energy, vigor, outdoors life (even if you only desk diver nia forever cacooned in air con), james bond original watch was a rolex sub.

uncle rolex = 2 tone rolex datejust on jubilee bracelet. make sure you wear it loose for that rattling look/sound. ;)

towkay rolex = full gold rolex day-date on president bracelet.

attention seeking towkay rolex = full gold, full bling rolex day-date with diamond hour markers.

stealth wealth rolex = full platinum rolex day-date (NO diamonds) for that faux s/steel look.

racer rolex = rolex daytona.

pilot/businessman traveller rolex = rolex gmt master II

adventurer rolex = rolex explorer/explorer II

engineer/scientist rolex = rolex milgauss

dress-watch rolex = rolex cellini

depending on how vintage/exclusive it was, buying you rolex/sub at the right price means you can sell it for even more than what you paid for with inflation factored in, too!

decent savings can be had if you bought pre-owned with remaining valid warranty, box + papers!

what's the pelagos LHD? the 5-liner dial with in-house movement? i much prefer pelagos I with 2-liner dial and lume pip at 3 o'clock. less busy and more balanced looking. it's a pity that it uses eta 2824-2 with only a 38-hour power reserve. would've been better if it's equipped with the chronometer grade eta 2892-A2 though.

trust me bro Thai_Rak_Thai dai kor, marriage is way, WAY over-rated. watch nirvana >> wife/gf. ;)

a watch will never:
- trap/annoy you by asking you "do i look fat in this?"
- nag at you.
- say "sorry dear, i've a headache / time of month is here / etc".
- say no to you.
- make you wear green hat.
- betray you.
- judge you.
- clog up your closet with expensive clothes, shoes & bags that it hardly wears.
- say "your money is our money; my money is MY money".
- fade in beauty / droop / sag / grow fat / become fugly but gain in patina & value.
- disrespect your parents / family / friends.
- have mood swings / pms.
- scream / shout / undermine you in front of others / your kids.
- overspend her cc limit on frivolous makeup, shiny, expensive trinkets like diamonds, expensive bags/shoes.
- change.
- expect you to change.

a watch will always:
- tell you the time reliably if you take good care of it.
- be faithful to you.
- be there when you need it.
- bring a smile to you face when it greets you as you open your watch drawer / safe / box.
- be a sign of your good taste, refinement and sense of style.
- help complement you in your various roles, identities and adventure as you rotate among your resin quartz gshocks through to your pilots, divers, dress, chronographs, military field watches, perpetual calenders, tourbillions, minute repeaters, etc
- be part of your identity as a refined, cultured, dignified gentleman of good taste and proper decorum.
- feel good on your wrist.
- remind you of man's ingenuity in engineering and crafting a highly accurate, tight tolerance, mechanical marvel with a beating heart on your wrist.

ps. for happily married, contented bros here, i salute you cos you're a rare breed. feel blessed and be grateful.
