Sorry for OT....



Selling a pair of boots i bought two weeks ago. Worn only once and it didnt suit me at all.

Rad russel
Size 44
Bought for ~$200
Looking to trade for 15 packets of 5kg rice (u can buy the jasmine rice from shengsiong, ard $100-ish)

The rice will go to needy families.

Please do not give me cash. I never accept cash for my charity and volunteer work.
PM me if you are keen.

Thanks for your kind attention.

How about supporting local? Lately have renewed my interest in Azimuth and have found their Back in Time line really intriguing. It's single hand, runs anti-clockwise and local. Sounds like a winner to me.

I still find the Mr Roboto really unique but just find it hard to pair it. Any of you have Mr Roboto? What occasion do you all wear it out on?

Wow, single hand and running anti clockwise is pretty cool. Me being a watch noob here haven't heard of Azimuth and don't know it's local at all LOL.

I'm kind of an Azimuth fan. I know the founders - great guys with passion and vision. If you want good discounts just pm me bah - but BIT usually extreely little or no discounts.

I have 3 BIT, and just sold my roboto over the weekend.

The roboto is a HUGE conversation starter. You will get all attention to molest it (the watch, not you) and people WILL stare at it. FOr an attention seeker, this is THE watch.

Still, the dials are hard to read (left eye for hours, right eye for GMT) but who wears this watch to tell the time?

the BIT are also conversation pieces but only if they realize whats going on.

they have shut all their boutiques but u can get them either at ION basement krasnaya or their main office near holland V.

unique watches, they just launched their spaceship predator which is essentially the spaceship with skeleton dial. definitely another conversation starter.

Check out the shoe thread. U can def do w better leather shoes. Haha

 

[jonleelk]

How come? You don't like the blue hands?

The traditional design is with blue hands. However, I prefer black for a pure black-white dress watch.

actually shoes I only buy one pair a year during robinsons sale....... and around $200.

cannot bear to spend too much on shoes leh. everyday step here and there on them. but i agree nice shoes do complete the look.

How much are their watches typically? Yeah Mr Roborto is a cute piece but I gonna admit I'm intrigued by the Back in time.Anyone can share more about the brand? Their website doesn't say much...

am actually considering trading my swatch irony skeleton but condition not very good. lotsa scratches here and there - who will want it?
havent worn it for..... 6yrs at least hahaha.

It's really cool. I love single hand watches. There's something very alluring about it. I love the concept of Meistersinger watches and the fact that they're handwound too. Of course Azimuth, being local, gets a nod over Meistersinger.

Thanks for sharing! Even their retrograde watches are very unique and pretty.

I'm not very sure on the new prices cos I usually only see used watches, more affordable that way

Mr Roboto is $3k+ closer to $4k. BIT is $1k+

the story goes....

Alvin Lye started with selling vintage watches until he had a shop front "Monster time". Then Chris Long was his regular customer. Then together they launched a Pilot watch (thats why u can see they still make them) and without the brand, just like a WW2 pilot watch (no brand so enemy cannot tell where u are from).

Then they went on to make quite a bit of other very interesting watches (debatable) and IMHO the Mr Roboto is probably their biggest shot to fame - even when I travel overseas, people ask me about the watch. They know its Mr Roboto but didn't know it's a sg brand (with factory in swiss).

The BIT have multiple versions and you are sure to find a combination you will like. Most, if not all, of their watches are limited edition/production. BIT usually costs $2.3k brand new with no discounts. Not sure if price has increased.

They used to have a boutique at mandarin gallery and MBS shoppes but have closed since. Now they are undergoing rebranding. Recent offers includ ethe Landship (modelled after WW1 tanks which were called landships then) and Spaceship predator.

notice they name their watches landship, spaceship - I am guessing an airship or something may be coming.

Every year they will hold a NDP watch making competition for students and the winning entry will get the design made.

You can also go to collectrostime.com to view their watches.

again, let me know if you want good discounts

Really, BIT 1k Plus?! I thought the price gonna be over the roof!
How about the movement for BIT? I really know nuts about this brand.
