Is anyone interested to get stuff from uncle seiko? Gonna buy a waffle strap and maybe another jubilee bracelet.

Since it's on a 13usd flat shipping rate, was wondering if anyone wanna get stuff from there to share the shipping cost. They are famous for their rubber waffle straps as well as their steel bracelets. Pm me if you're interested!

Any thoughts on the new sky dweller stainless steel blue dial? You guys reckon that it will be popular with long waiting list?

Your Explorer 2 also same right? Haha cheapo bracelet.
I don't even wear it. But I bet it feels good and light.
My exp 2 shld be on nato.
Keep the bracelet clean so if I flip it will be in good cond.
Maybe can use horween strap on it given by ventus mori

you are correct, bro gaoxing84.

my 2538.20 omega seamaster GMT great white looks bigger and feels heftier & more substantial on wrist compared to our 16570 rolex explorer II polar. but while light, the polar exp II feels damn comfy indeed.

i love them both, and they're for keeps! both are also full complete inner+outer box sets w/ all cards+card wallet+manuals+full links. shiok das!

enjoy the watch pr0n, bro!

Hi all. I'm thinking of getting my first pam, pam 372 to be exact. Been eyeing that particular model for a while now. Any suggestions where to get it from? Boutique or AD? Thanks.

 

[BallGag]

How come leh bro, can share share your views? : )

The contrast on the bezel and bracelet can get a little jarring sometimes. The sub on the other hand, you can just throw on and forget about it for the rest of the day.

 

[TeenTitan01]

this!

wow. the blue samurai would look gorgeous if it comes in a gold case!

They're not radioactive so won't decay.
Therefore no patina. Lol

hi there. first up, disclaimer: i'm not a pam owner nor aficionado, but is that a new/current model? as my taste is more for for oop watches, pre-owned is the route for me. but if you buy from private sales, do take note of this cautionary tale: http://swx.com.sg/forum/swx-trading-pit-references/negative-territory/77043-scam-cheat-alert

because scams/fakes with even b+p is out there, the safest (but costlier) route is to buy from boutique/AD. if buy pre-own, send it to the authorized agent to verify. a middle ground is buy from a shop that's been in business for years. they're unlikely to sell fakes to jeopardize their long term business.

the shop i recently bought my 16570 polar explorer II opened up the caseback (i know squat how to authenticate) & removed the bracelet for me to look. but they took photos if the movement, the watch s/n and the watch model #. AND they meticulously wrote down ALL these details (including the # on the inside of my watch clasp) on the receipt with my personal particulars. have to hand it to them for being so legit. so with this documentation, if it ever turns out to be fake, the shop can't deny.

cheers and have a good shopping experience. may you get the watch you want at the price you hope for!
