Hahaha. :s13::s13:

Well if want swimming then should whack g-shock even more. G-shock the design not as bad as last time imo. They evolved and have more colours now. Some pretty good looking one in my opinion. I have 1 g-shock in fact.

Should really take a look at it.

Else, maybe you want to consider seiko range? Like seiko monster?

For those expensive watches, me don't really wear them for sports. Sports don't need ai swee one lah. =:p

got my seiko sumo, anyone know where to get bracelet or nato strap?

For aftermarket Sumo bracelets, you can try yobokies. Some popular models from yobokies include the Anvil, Hammer and Beads of Rice.

Alternatively, there are also suppliers, such as Strapcode, Tungchoy (not sure if it's the same as Strapcode) etc.

In my opinion, nato straps are best purchased online. Some popular retailers sworn by WUS forumers are TSS (The Strap Shop), Timefactors, Maratac, Westcoasttime, Holbens etc.

If you like to take a look and feel the strap in person, I think Gnomon Watches might be your best option. Do note that the natos / zulus sold thru different retailers are somewhat different in terms of quality. It may take some trial and error to find the one you like best. Thankfully they're cheap.

I have the Seiko MM300 rubber strap that came with the watch itself, but have never bothered to remove it from it's plastic cover to put it on. First of all, it does not look good to me, secondly, due to my small wrist, the length of the strap bothers me. Of course, YMMV.

Where did you see the seiko monster watches? I've been searching around online and it seems this shop called K2 is pretty popular at Tanjong Katong complex there.

Sales girl there to help you mah. Ask her opinion loh. =:p

I change myself. Its pretty easy actually. Just need a bit practice first as not to scratch your watch. You just need to have your own spring bar tool. :)

Cause I like to change my watch strap here and there so yeah.

I prolly change it around 2mins or so.

hi all, need some advice from the watch experts here!

i went to look around for a watch around 500-1k and found only 2 suitable ones so far one is the steinhart ocean military vintage(600+sgd) which caught my eye ( had good reviews around )

The other would be the tissot seamaster non chrono/ chrono(1k 1.4k) ( average reviews )

anyone could recommend me some good watches that look like these or rather where could i get a cheaper seamaster rather than the tissot watch shop itself maybe 100-200cheaper? i ve searched joma shop but it has really bad reviews...

The steinhart model i have checked with gnomon watches and the queue for the watch is really bad.. so i decided to pass

I ve seen the divers from UHR and stowa but they dont really seem to catch my eye.

Would be really greatful if anyone can give their input and sorry for the WOT

Thanks a lot!
