I think you should try the watches on your wrist, preferably in the same day and see which one speaks to you more.

The more impt "value" is how much you like it when u put it on. Watches do not make good investment tools and unless its an extremely rare and sought after model, you easily lose quite a bit. Maybe other than a rolex sports model but u will still lose money, just not as much.

Pictures are 2D so they cannot fully show how a watch really looks. Do try them before taking the plunge.

Godspeed!

Then u probably shld wait until the omega is launched. U probably shld go to their boutique and tell them u are extremely interested in the watch and see if they can invite u to the event, if there is one?

I can ask for you - will be going to buy lunch for my usual SA next week to thank her for the discounts she gave my frens over christmas and CNY.

What a week so far.

Anyway, anyone interested in going for Panerai's SIHH 2014 event?

I can probably get another invite in.

hi guys. need advise on where to change watch batteries n straps. my wife has 4 watches to change batt n 3 to change straps. since she don exactly know how to take of her watches, i'd jus like to get cheap/budget straps.
Go to Bencoolen and look for a shop "3D trading" ... They are 1 of the cheapest for battery change. Not sure about straps though. Another one with plenty of straps is Wins.

I wanted to get the El Primero for Zeniths but most of the sizes are 44mm which I realised is too big for my wrist. I love my Pam but my wrist aches and I tend to bump against things. Also, the EP dials are on the busy side. The only one I found with EP and is a 40mm size is this one (but a lot of things on the dial):

Most EPs are 42mm. One - EP 36,000 vph is just 38mm. The EP Espada is 40mm. A number of choices with 2 subdials too. I like to use Rolex Watches From SwissLuxury.Com. to view watches as its easy to navigate. Have fun!

Likely end of the month. Not confirmed yet on the date. I'll score you an invite.

Free flow of champers, so be warned.
