[kinbalight]

Heart pain also no choice. It's like a brand new car kena a ding on the door cause by others but after a while will get used to it liao. Lucky thing is mine don cost as much as a house else see stars liao

if you send it for servicing....hearsay for GS they will polish the whole watch at the same time....so if it's a light scratch maybe can be worked on

[StephenHawking]

I never. You did! Haha I waiting for 2nd hand if you wanna let it go actually wanna get alr in mar on my bdae but got notice that I'm going Ireland for attachment later this year so gonna hold on the funds for enjoyment in Ireland and London (outlet shopping!) However, the 1969 will still be my no. 1 item on wishlist.

It's great. Beautiful and interesting. Get one! Before *another* price increase!

TS quoted me ~S$800 for the hi-beat, slightly less expensive for the Spring Drive (I was calling to ask about something else, and asked about servicing prices too to take into account "real" ownership cost for a GS)

Oh, that doesn't include the S$86 shipping fee, coz all GS are serviced back in Japan

I saw the thread on WUS too, but think it was cheaper than what TS quoted me

My siao friend went to Tag boutique again (my fault for poisioning him). Reported he saw wrongly the last time.

$7550 Carrera Chrono Day-Date is for the F1 limited edition. Normal edition is $6700.

Space-X is $8700 for leather strap version. Bracelet $8800.

All prices before standard discount.

The SPace-X attractive leh...but why no day-date

I would ask what kind of watch u are looking for. Dress watch, dive watch, daily beater ? Chrono? With this info at least we can give a more accurate advice

 

[helmsley76]

Tudor Blackbay or Pelagos.

I seriously question your taste, sir!

Tudor Blackbay or Pelagos.

Tudor Blackbay - good choice.

Agreed. Pelagos is a nice toolish watch.

Looks like sub, but cheaper.

This piece? If u actually hold both together, they are very different. Size itself is different, design itself is different. Curious how u find they look alike.

This is what I called look alike. Compare it with rolex sub.
