Poor picture but hopefully convey the classy look

ball quality not very good

 

[KohChris]

ball trainmaster series more expensive than tissot visodate series?
if yes why ah?
the material used are better?
got gas tube?

maybe can consider getting 1 instead of tissot

I placed a visodate next to ball fireman

ball is overpriced

Gotten this beauty over the weekend

 

[nicholaslee]

Tried JLC Master Control, Cartier and Rolex GMT (SS and TT) today, none had that "feeling"... most likely i still prefer bigger diameter watches ..

Finally tried on this Glashütte Original Sixties Panorama Date (Rose gold, matte black dial)

Fell in love with it instantly..

SRP $28,400
Was offered discount slightly better than 15%..

Think issit possible to buy from Germany and claim VAT to bring cost down to $16-18k

 

[KohChris]

ASUS111's new watch

 

[Kensuke11]

think so, i asked over the phone. might need to verify in shop. can i knw hw much was the retail when u bought?

Around 1.8k before discount. After discount about $1.3k.

 

[taeception]

How much did you get it for from the official site? There is no local dealer for the c60 right

Nop.. Conversion to sgd around 805..

Watch gurus, is the Maurice lacroix brand worth getting, thinking if getting this pontos decentrique GMT

Retailing for $7600 with 20%-30% off.

use the money buy omega speedmaster professional or get a pam if u want leather strap. ur this budget range is the most headache. a lot of options, a lot of brands, but also a lot of BS marketing.

Hmm.. ML 121 is on SW 200 plus a in house module for the complication.

This ML is a beauty! As long as you're looking for a dress watch and this looks nice on your wrist, take it home. The Omega/Pam are not comparable watches - not dressy types.

Actually if I own a rolls royce I will get a chauffeur. There is a limit where u can drive your own car - bentley flying spur and rolls royce shld be chauffeured in, IMHO.

And yacht is a long term goal for me lah.

Now mainly is cars, watches and vacation. Change cars every 2yrs on the average and 4 vacations per year. Expensive but the latter creates memories which are priceless

Yattokame bro, you change cars so often , i assume u also change watches often? If you have watches that you do not want anymore, can you sell to me this peasant cheap cheap or not?

 

[edchys]

Saw your post on sg-roc! Nice nice! Maybe the angle makes the watch looks too big for your wrist!

Thought I can never get a 47mm but after getting the Pam 389, I am surprised that I can wear that too! Sometimes the thickness of the watch helps. I know that I cannot wear a 47mm Luminor... so the 372 is out... Sob sob!

For your 104, I suggest you go and get a custom strap, this way you can get the hole punched to your exact specs, so it would not be uncomfortable.

Cheers!

Thanks, my size is always in between two holes,either too tight or too lose.

Looks great, price is decent for most other watches brand.

I was also looking at the Masterpiece series, but prices is like double, retailing $13k hehehe

I really like cars lah.... bought my first car with my own money at 21. After that it has been one of my motivations. And I get sick of a car every 2yrs. hahahaha..... really bad habit.

watches no leh. In fact I don't even know what watch I wanna get next (maybe a full YG or RG daydate?). But I know which watch to buy for my wife next

Thing is i'm not such a technical person, be it cars or watches. U tell me in-house movement etc I can't be bothered. Just like how it looks on me and matches my clothes or how it is a conversation piece.
