[boysdontcryy]

Seems like diving watches are all the rage here!

The "someone" is back....

What a joke to flash a Tag of all watches in front of Rolex owners.
I am not a Rolex fan but respects the brand nevertheless.
Prefer brands like JLC and Omega but Tag? Oh come on that's another marketing company that happen to sell watches

The two tone Rolex is the sweetest for me. Initially the black and gold but now, blue and gold seems very appealing as well.

 

[KohChris]

I'm sure they must be wondering why this tag guy persistantly waving his watch in front..

once they realise, they will be sibei jelly

"y i bot fake watch?"

The "someone" is back....

y bai 1 rolex for 5k when you can get 1 for 300

That "someone" said others wearing a rolex is fake, guess living in his own world, then again.... fake tag is everywhere too. Rolex owners will wave his watch in front of him... damn fake tag

Google will tell, "fake tag".....

I own Breitling, IWC, Omega and Rolex but not Tag yet. Might look for a Tag and wave my hand to errrr AP, yours are fake....

Nevertheless, it is good to have someone who is an odd to spice up the thread.

"a watch worse than a fake rolex is a real one"

an odd person who is right is better than a normal person who is wrong.

rolex owners seem to give in terms of impression of wearing hang ten, driving merc, working as a contractor and hanging out at KTV...

ya very gian... i think normal leather strap will do..... croco leather need to top up so much more :S

 

[boysdontcryy]

Used to have a Tag when I was back in secondary school. Was a gift from my aunt -- no way my mum was going to buy that for me. That F1 Tag with a red dial. Those memories.

I tend to prefer dress watches, though I appreciate the appeal of the diving watch.

I've always liked the Daytona, and the AP Royal Oak in stainless steel/rose gold, and if I had the $, I'd get them.


Anyway, here's part of my humble collection. Quite an old photo, and have acquired a couple more watches.



From left to right:

1. Breguet 5317PT tourbillon in platinum, with brown crocodile strap — a casual watch (because of its slightly larger case size)

2. Rolex Submariner 16610 with James Bond NATO strap — the go to watch for swimming and sports

3. Patek Philippe Calatrava in yellow gold, with black crocodile strap — for black tie events and cocktail parties

4. International Watch Company (IWC) Perpetual Calendar (with chronograph and moon-phase indicator) in yellow gold — the business watch

5. Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Date in rose gold, with brown horn-back alligator strap and red lining — for most occasions

The A10 version with the new logo? I prefer the one with their old logo.

I like you already. A Singaporean actually using a Rolex Submariner for swimming...LOL thumbs up!

 

[boysdontcryy]

Hmm? No? Isn't the Submariner crafted for these rugged purposes? The Submariner catapulted to fame for their water resistance, and was a military issue to the Royal Navy precisely for their water resistance and durability under straining conditions.

I put the NATO strap on because when I play sports, go swimming, it gets sweaty etc, and I can throw the straps out and get replacements easily. Plus, I think the metal bracelet is a bit too old-ish for me.

I do wear the Sub out occasionally when I'm in casual wear, though I still far prefer the dressier watches.

Yes but just how many Singaporeans risk even scratching a $10-15K watch, much less even bringing one out to the sea to test out its deep diving capabilities.
