No joke. If you remember a fire in the northern part of singapore around 8 days back. My house is the innocent unit that my entire study room is burnt down.

I placed my watches inside a watch winder. The plastic cover and air con unit melted and covered 8 of my watches.

My Rolex submariner and panerai survived without visible damage. Internal don't know got damaged or not.

Oyster perpetual second hand and cover dropped out. Don't know still working or not.

Santos is covered by plastic. Managed to remove all the melted plastic. Watch still moving. Sent back to Cartier for check. Hopefully nothing is damaged inside

Omega speedmaster is also gone. Can't move and cover also dropped.

My dad's rolex is also covered with plastic but can't remove the plastic. Can't tell whether still working or not.

The rest are gone.

oh dear......so sorry to hear about this. Is there any avenue to seek compensation?

Above it all, I hope your family is safe and sound.

The owner of the unit that started the fire was no where to be seen ever since it happened.

Anyone knows this sort of case can seek compensation?

36 i think. Takes some getting used to. DD2 a bit oversized IMHO. Hmmmm i got mine for 13k? Cannot really remember.



Its not where u go but what u do to create happiness anchors bah. Sentosa can be fun too. Wife and myself likes Japan a lot and its pretty kids friendly so just keep going back.

You're right, the DD2 40mm are way too large.

They look okay in picture but not on the wrist.

Same goes for Bambinos, they look 36 but are legit wallclocks on the wrist, but thankfully 40 is still manageable for me given the roundish casing...

if I'm not wrong depends on what type you have

basic cover is repair to house to higher end plan which cover reno furniture to even personal belongings.

The fire started from the below unit and spread into my study room. The air con compressor for the next few floors were also damaged.

HDB claimed we did not renew the fire insurance.

I always had the impression that it was compulsory! Oh but I just checked, only for people taking up loans. Anw the basic one doesn't cover furniture or belongings.
