Tbh I've not seen someone wearing a PP in real life. Seen an AP in real life and I find it doesn't suit me. I remembered it being too sporty for my liking as it has carbon fiber and steel nuts all over the places.

If you don't know patek, how you want to spot? Lol.
I think the AP you see are the sports model.
Google AP15400
That's the classic piece.

the thing about wearing PPs are not to show it to the world. Wearing an AP is a statement, it is not subtle at all. Patek is not meant to be ostentatious

Patek is a brand that values tradition and history. (whether one thinks that is a marketing gimmick)

chances are you've seen a few Pateks, but did not realise it. From a distance, my previous Calatrava could have been mistaken for a DW (i can feel TeenTitan strangling my neck now :D)

Precisely why you should buy watches for yourself, not about whether people want to look at it hahaha.

Most people find DW gorgeous, and then you tell them Nautilus cost how much they go one corner arm chio at how dumb you are for paying that price. Fact of life!

Watch modding in Singapore

Hi, does anyone have updated info on modding seiko watches in Singapore?

From what I've gathered so far, there's DLW watches and K2. Info for DLW is quite easy to find cuz it's all online, but does anyone know how much K2 charges for a skx sapphire crystal and installation?

Help appreciated, thanks!
