guys

any opinions on rolex sport models on leather straps??


I find rolex bracelets especially polished parts gets scratches very easily :(
Avoid those models with polished center links? :(

Or brush those polished portions on your own?

I think Perlon straps go very well with the sport models, but not sure where to find the best Perlons.

I wear my daytona on leather, I get those with thick ends so as little gap shown between strap and case as possible...

No watch connoisseur here.. But intending to get a proper dress watch as daily beater at work.

What can I get for about 2000SGD? I'm dropping a visit to Switzerland this year end and wondering if they can be a little bit cheaper?

It's not on my wrist now, but here's a pict first, it's at the corner...

I think sports watches should be worn with thick straps if you go leather... Try it! Gives the watch more character

Look at below link, reason why omega start having individual shop in Singapore and sharp increase in their pricing.

Ranking

Rolex ranking 47

Omega ranking 36

From what i know omega penetrate into China earlier than other brand and lay a good foundation.

Koh Chris happy ? :p

Hi fellows. Is it possible to have after-market AR coating applied on sapphire crystal glass? If so, may I know where it can be done?

one of the better brands that can execute roman indices well

there is also santos, looks like sportier tank but comes with a bezel. im not sure if they align their bezel screws though like AP, Hublot doesn't and it looks annoying at least to me

shell cordovan nato/zulu? #8 color has a good depth in terms of colour. i love the oily look

also it is the only leather i can thick off that doesn't crease like usual leather when tucking the excess tail. expensive though

natos/zulus look better on bezel-ed sportier watches imo
