It's really my fault for not being careful but I guess it's a funny story.

I decided that the in-house BB was too chunky for me. Put it up for sale and received an offer almost immediately at a price I wasn't so sure about. Buyer was quite persistent and even played the sympathy card, "please I'm sincere but I'm just a student". So I thought, why not and accepted the offer of 3.6.

Drove over to the buyer's place and he inspected the watch. Wanted to cut down to $3450 because there were no hang tags(LMFAO) and there was a supposed ding on the bezel. Naturally, I refused but I had really long day so I offered to deal at $3550. Buyer said ok, gave me cash(although he offered pay via ibanking earlier) that was split up in a few stacks. Was talking to me about Speedmaster model numbers (3570.50, 311.30.42.30.01.005, etc) when I was counting, which kind of threw me off balance, but I'm very sure that I counted the right amount. What I had kinda noticed was that when I was sorting out the cash, he was moving the cash I had placed on the table around. I didn't think too much of it. When I went to deposit, I noticed that I only had $3250.

Sent that guy a message, no reply. Oh well, lesson learnt. Google'd his mobile number and found out that he's dappergentleman who used to frequent the Hair Thread and sells hair grooming products online. Strange, I'd think that one would use a seperate mobile number - you know that thing about shitting where you eat.

Thanks for sharing. That was really low, but karma has a nasty way of striking back.

as an fyi guys...

Rubber B - GMT Watch @ Golden Landmark level 2 and MisterChrono @ Mandarin Gallery. GMT watch straps are normally $20 cheaper than MisterChrono. If you purchase from GMT Watch, you will make payment at the shop @ level 2, you will then be directed to go to a watch shop at level 1 where the change of strap will take place. RubberB's straps are one size fits all, so it will be cut to fit your wrist.

Everest - Chuan, as good as RubberB and cheaper. Everest comes in different sizes to fit your wrist, so best is for you to call first to check availability before heading down. You can refer to Everest site to find out the size that fit your wrist.

Excited to see the shots of them. Mind doing a mini review? :)

I first heard about Bulang & Sons when I was scouring for leather straps for my Speedy, but never actually gotten around to buying from them. From photos the straps were beeyootiful!

I have problem wearing mm300 on Nato. The head is too heavy liao
Click to expand...

use thick slightly stiff rubber straps like isofrane, BC, various low cost iso-inspired straps for such heavy heads

or you can gamble with the fancy thicker (stiffer?) luxury nato that is all the rage these days.
