[TeenTitan01]

Waaaaaay more banged up than when I last posted this.

that's fierce, bro BallGag!

PP as daily beater + chill enough not to baby it?!

how do you even...

is that a white gold piece? maybe you can consider a s/steel piece for daily wear as gold is softer and picks up nicks and scratches more easily than s/steel?

just saying...

 

[TeenTitan01]

Ya prices have really gone up. I only paid $16k for a year old ROC three years ago. Now, minimum $20k.

these rising prices at really at odds with the desperately poor job market and lacklustre economy right now!

sorry to hear that bro indigo22. you need closure.

i suggest you approach her for break-up sex?

maybe she'll change her mind after she sees you rocking your rolex sub on your wrist?

enrolled myself into a watch strap making workshop...

saw the list of recipients, my ex is attending too

You can make the buckle side, she can make the other side (whatever it's called).

 

[cyrenic]

Enjoy the strap haha

Hahhaa, thanks for helping to order! Really quite nice, the feel.

Sadly, I just realised I don't have any watch to go with it. The only ones with lug size that match are the Pelagos and Nav-B Chrono. I don't think will go too well together..

Well, Mar is coming, Ventus is coming.

Thought there is international warranty? So if u buy a GS, does it mean I can only send back Japan on my own?

there're still cheaper but no agent warranty or only shop warranty.

never shopped online locally, but it seems may qoo(?) or lazada may have cheaper deals - but definitely NO agent warranty at all.

 

[AyuReady]

I mean including the 3rd blue one which u were eyeing hehe

Yes pls pardon my typo hahah one hand type iPhone plus no joke!

thanks, bro AyuReady! they're immensely satisfying!

but oh my!

my bad, bro AyuReady! i know it's an honest typo, but i can't help it!

ps. no lah, my 2 pre-owned omega smp add up still can't buy the cheapest brand new rolex oyster perpetual!

[gaoxing84]

Didn't know you are a transgender! Or did I meet someone else the other time!?

 

[Thai_Rak_Thai]

bro TRT and other aquanaut owners ain't gonna be pleased with this statement.

the PP aquanaut, with its distinctive stylized globe dial, has a rightful place along with the nautilus and the AP royal oak.

A gentleman is one who never hurts anyone's feelings unintentionally.

Need to get something new that I can travel with and beat up.

bro BallGag, you can't go wrong with any of the following mechanical true "traveller" GMT watches where the hour hand can be moved independently to whichever local time zone you're at without the watch stopping. the second hand continues running and keeps on ticking without missing a beat (unlike most other "office" GMT watches which only adjust the GMT hand independently, thus losing a fixed GMT reference time).

- rolex explorer II - older 40mm or newer 42mm. comes only with fixed outer 24 hr scale bezel. limited to only 2 time zones. just use the GMT hand to indicate home time. adjusts hour hand to local time upon arrival.

- rolex gmt master II - the prices of older 40mm aluminum bezel has gone crazy, but if you're a fan who enjoys wearing what he has, why not. otherwise:

- rolex gmt master IIc - newer ceramic bezel gmt II with upgrades like anti-magnetic parachrome hairspring, longer lasting bluish chromalight lume, scratch resistant ceramic bezel.

- omega seamaster gmt chronometer ref 2538.20 aka the "great white" (the one i have) - oop like for a decade, COSC certified chronometer, has true 300m diver depth rating vs 100m for the above. cost $1k+ to ~$12k lesser depending on which rolex model/year of production/whether it's half-gold. it's a rare, sought after piece and sexy beast imho for fans like myself.

please also don't miss out on the watch goodness from the land of the rising sun, too! grand seiko GMTs in your choice of:
- spring drive with its uber velvety smooth sweep seconds.
- 36,600vph high-beat mechanical movement.
- regular mechanical movement (but still beats at a high rate of 28,800vph).
