[fabiaN__]

very nice. how much? if inconvenient, can pm me.

tankew! got it from one of the grey dealers from **-***. the price for this model is very competitive and lies in the range of $8.8k to $9.3k or so. it depends on how well you can negotiate on the price though.

Can pm me the price if not convenient to post here? Gam sia!

yo. kindly refer to my response to whiteblackred above

Gxgx! U can start buying loads of straps liaoz

haha thanks bro! actually, i already bought two straps even BEFORE i got the watch.. so... when you hooting another watch?

 

[Seannie]

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.

I also dont bother abt watch technicalities, as long the hand moves and looks nice and a brand that is not mainstream. Not sure if JLC is in mainstream or not. I dont mind 2nd watches, even got minor scratches i dont mind, as long can still tell the time & most impt is cheap.

Nice 312!

Strap poison starts!

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

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

I love it. Not sure about the resale value though.

actually to them its kinda like a hobby. get such an ex watch of cos must get diff straps for different occasions etc.

Yup, just like shoes! Different colour straps for different occasions!

I love the different unique straps and material that the strap makers use and it does change the look of the watch.

When I was in Beijing recently, I wore this blue with brown keepers leather strap!

Sometimes, for a bit of colour, I changed to this canary yellow toad skin strap.

Makes owning a watch much more interesting and my collection of straps keeps growing!!

TIA!

would you spend $160 or so for a homage? e.g parnis

Hi. I know what I am going to ask next may sounds abit stupid, but anyone have trouble letting the watch dial sit on the centre of their wrist?

For mine, I had abit of problem, as the watch dial always slide to the top side of my wrist, and I always have to shake my wrist to get the dial back to the centre, I have also noticed that the inner curve of the braclet locklet does not sit on the centre of my wrist, it is more slanted to the side, I wentdown to my AD to learn more about it, and was told that, it was due to the watch being heavy, and it is okay, as when my dial is adjusted to the centre of my wrist, and when I turned my wrist upside down, the logo on the locklet will be located at the centre of my pulse, hence, I was told that this is the correct position for wearing a watch..

Any bros have some comments or tips to share on this??

TIA. .

Everywhere!

I use this link: Aftermarket Panerai Straps List and Reviews to read up on straps and then slowly experiment and buy straps from all over the world.

Currently, I have straps from Turkey, USA, Canada, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia, Finland, etc.. And they are in croc, snake, toad, vintage leather, normal leather.

I love finding new straps and then having them customised so I know that I have one of a kind strap!

The fun is only beginning!

I got this issue too but its fine with me.
The AD suggest i can tighten the bracelet but i dont wish to.
I prefer some breathing space between my wrist and watch bracelet

this is the problem which puts me off about watches. NOt only the positioning of the watch on the wrist but also, the leather strap got loose less than a month of wearing & it cant be adjusted tight! New tissots are all the clip type. Meaning even if adjust one hole in after slipping in & out for some time it gets loosen again. To no end.

IWC inspired design?
