Because this model is sold out and supposedly discontinued, I had some trouble getting it at a reasonable price. Summarised into the following:

1) No luck with usual retail shops, both online and offline.

2) The prices on Carousell are quite crazy. Managed to settle for the lowest one, albeit reluctantly, but the seller did disappearing stock stunt (agreed to buy within 5 mins of positive stock check, but MIA'ed whole day till night time, then replied no stock left)

3) Scoured E-Bay. Prices for brand new sets were big jokes. Bids for 2nd- hand sets were quite high as well, put in a max bid I was confortable with but was expectedly outbid.

4) Found an Indonesia e-tailer platform with ok prices, but they don't ship to SG, so I contacted the seller to arrange EMS shipping. Went as far as almost dealing out of the system/platform and paying through Western Union (seller doesn't have PayPal) to an Indonesia-based seller. Risks were evident but was running outta options.

5) Just as I was about to transfer the funds, saw a fellow member of a watch group I follow post a heavily-discounted deal from Creation Watches. Since payment was through PayPal, hoot first talk later. Anything wrong can dispute later. Never pounced on something so fast as the price was at least 100 bucks cheaper than any of the above sellers. Their stock was cleared out within hours.

6) The rest is history. Loving this piece & its busy dial. The pop of yellow is a nice refreshing touch as well.

Lol, bro, problem with bui bui like me is that I sweat alot, cannot wear leather. I even had gunny straps in the past, while comfortable after wearing for awhile also smell bad. Try a lot of rubber straps with the likes of isofranes and crafter blue. None of those are as comfortable, not even close.

Will pay a little bit more for a comfortable metal bracelet but not willing to pay so much for a rubber strap... that’s me.
