Very nice. Casio's new steel G-Shock squares are really a sight to behold. Never expected a G-Shock could look this elegant! I'm actually tempted to get one :).

No story lah bro. Just something I wanted the longest time ever since I had left SG for work. Given that my family finances are now back on track after endless counts of massive medical bills, I do managed to save up over the yrs and so, it is time to get myself a good bday present. As many bros said, you only live once.

My initial target was the iconic Rolex sub but the price here at HK, where I am based now, is simply ridiculous. They really “fried” up the price like chow kway teow. I am quoted all sort of different prices and some are really openly chop carrot. Even some lobangs given by my local colleagues are also way off the chart.

Quote for example is the latest G shock 35th anniversary full metal watch, goes all the way up to 8000 HKD upon it’s release. HK G factory original price is 4699 HKD but forever OOS, needless to say u know I know the backend arrangement lah.

After giving up on the sub, I was looking at Pam 1312 but just couldn’t take my mind n eyes off Pam 560 and 510. Was torn between this 2 honestly but the clean “12, 3, 6 and 9” face of 560 eventually won my heart over. Furthermore, the discount is good and no surcharge for CC, all work very well within my budget.

Congrats on your timepiece!
Personally would prefer a rolex sub or probably an Ex2... timeless value.

Pam surely got good discount la.
Buy online or 2nd hand lagi more discount!

Enjoy and wear in good health!

Hi guys! What’s the price for a seiko alpinist currently? Looking to buy one but skywatch is selling it for $1k. Anywhere else to grab it at a more reasonable price?

Have you bought your alpinist?
If yes, can you share where did you get it?

Congratz! This is the Pam that I was looking at for the longest time. Wear in good health!

Hi all,

Been looking at this thread for the longest time and I always wondered when will be my turn.

Today finally mark the day and also, my 38th birthday. It is also a reward to myself after 7 years (and counting) away from Singapore.

It's nothing fancy nor extraordinary nor extravagant. A humble watch for a humble man and it's the simplicity that still pretty much attract me till today.

Because you're looking at the wrong models or rather the popular ones.

Of course I know taste is subjective. I just think that if you take away the brand name, I wouldn't even take a second look at most of their watches if I walk past them in a shop.

What models do you all think are nice?
