walau cio leh! how much is it? i suspect i cant afford it as well??

 

[hooey_]

Well, I just purchased a Pam 219 Destro, 2nd hand but it looks brand new for the wifey. About S$6k.

44mm, Sandwich dial, exhibition case back. Chose it because of these features and also because it is unique from the rest, as it is a Destro and the number of units per year is low, for my M-series, it was XXX/600 units.

Happy hunting!

Hi, may I ask what is your wife's wrist size?

 

[Seannie]

Then just buy a seiko or citizen or any fashion watch will do.

but hor.. like that whats the purpose of buying such a fashion watch? most likely i will throw it at home & not wear out la.. i got a old seiko which i dont wear at all, sitting at hme for more than 15 years. Wearing citizen that kind people will give me the "cheap" look lei. Sign.

 

[Mr_spEEd]

yes it is the first link EP with power reserve and the price is $5900??? That price was alot lower.... unless it is in swiss francs or pound..

I always thot reebonz provide warranty for watches because i remember i saw them mentioning it previously..but i cant find it now...

The price you see is in USD. I just got the black face from them. Very happy with my new watch

 

[Seannie]

Huai chiu like scare ppl dunno u can or cannot afford sth reh? Relax la.

Just accept that there are otakus for other stuff too la.

No scared la, just dont like people to mention about budget thats all.

My aim is that some watch otaku can give me a good recommend, but so far im not getting any here, only alot of ridicule or remarks. I never put anyone down here, just see if there is any nice reference.

You have any nice watch recommend for me? Any shop in sg that i can go down physically to have a look?

don't understand what's wrong with a seiko

think u have to ask yourself whether you are getting a watch which u like or getting a watch to impress others

The price you see is in USD. I just got the black face from them. Very happy with my new watch

so you got the watch from them ah? Fast delivery? After convert to SGD, need to factor in GST right? Any other cost?

 

[ForumRider]

Care to share pics? Share shopping experience with collectorstime?

 

[patryn33]

Thanks man. Do you have the actual name for it? I tried to google but can't find anything similar. Investing in that will definitely cost more than my watch.

This maybe cheaper but still at usd$2995

Hi, may I ask what is your wife's wrist size?

Her wrist size is about 5.75". She didn't buckle the strap as the strap was too long.

Now customising a strap (115/65mm-standard ladies strap size) and see if she can use it.

Just found a vintage Pagol watch that was my late grandfather's! The box still have the receipt, dated 1968...

I am so excited. It may still be working but am bringing to a watch repair shop to get it serviced and re-polished!

Can't wait to wear it!
