114060, once u try it u wont feel like taking out. im looking to get one also, hopefully can achieve this coming july.....

yes i was poisoned by symmetry of beauty

U can try ask yeo. There are few greys in Roc forum. Pm them...

Frankly speaking I dun like the new exp1 due to they place the word explorer below.. The exp2 n older exp1 look way better. The exp 2 with orange wordings n hands look stunning handsome. I mean the real thing.

Btw is it cheaper to get from Grey dealers or go overseas and buy ourselves? What is the most discount that one can get from overseas AD? Do greys get special discounts from them?

Ok i'm on the train now and right in front of me is a gorgeous lady wearing an explorer 1!!!!

I have to resist staring!!!

I ever saw ladies wearing exp 1, submariner and even daytona. They looked attractive and hot with them watches. * Turn on *

Oh the story is, I always see the guys here posting damn nice pics of their exp1 but when I tried it at the AD it didnt work for me at all.

(And its a gorgeous lady )

Maybe is bcoz you have a PP and the exp1 doesn't appeal to you?

 

[Pagani_Z0nda]

Somehow the feel is not right leh......

Could it be the lighting at the AD? Or too big/small for my wrist?

Your hand too hairy sibo? joking lol.

心理作用吧? An exp 1 may not be appealing as you have a PP

 

[Pagani_Z0nda]

I think 8k? when I asked before CNY that was the price..... or 7.6k can't really rem paisey

Retail is $8.6k. Usually 10% allowed but depends.

Think got minimum half kg. Got a shock when I saw it. Don't look like a lot here but it was very thick.

Badoque @ bedok - not an expensive place, think they didn't even charge service charge if I didn't recall wrongly.

Wow. Thread went fast today"............

the blue face perp cal chronograph? ... that one is some serious damage

Yes I think so too, about S$280k with not good discounts..... Hope to resist but when arrive and SA call me, probably watch out for my post

pal, I think you may need some help.

there is no need to fight any depression or any sort. it's all in your head. others have better watches, better cars, so be it. Life is never fair - how you deal with it is important. If I were to be envious or jealous of the other people here, there would be no end to my wants, and with it comes suffering. I would be jealous of Azrielsc's maserati, triste's watches, and iceflight's errr..... everything (I don't even know where to start ahhaha). But I'm happy and comfortable where I am. You should, too.

In fact when the others get their watches, be it high end or mass market, we are all happy for them. I believe most of us, if not all of us, here are mature adults and are well beyond the stage of "you have, I do't have, so I must be a loser" mentality. Instead of focusing on the things we do not have, focus on the things we have and be happy with it; and these are things we often take for granted.

I took my paternal grandpa for granted until the day he slipped and fell in the toilet and passed away. I took my maternal grandma's cooking for granted until the day she suffered a stroke. I have learned to be contented with my lot in life.

Perhaps you should go help with some charity and volunteer work - not to compare with the needy and feel all superior, but as a therapeutic process. It puts your mind off to something more meaningful and in the process, do good with the time.

I do have all the money in the world - MY world that is. But I will always be ready to give it all up if my family wants me to, or should any unforeseen circumstances happen.

There is a lot more to life than being envious of others' success or worldly possessions; feeling happy for them is definitely high on the list.

(Honestly I hope others will be jealous of my good looks but...... it never happens )

I always say as long as one is contented and happy with everything around him, it's a success already... While 80% in the world just worry about food, we talk about being a loser who can buy a diamond ring for gf....

Seriously, what's all this talk about?

It's just plain stupid to think that you can never "afford" things.

I aspire. A lot. But i tell myself that i will achieve goals I have set for myself in life. And then I set out to do it.

I wasn't born with old money or was fortunate enough to have gone into the property boom. But i worked hard enough to tell myself that i want to lead a comfortable lifestyle. And so I did.

You are only as good as your actions.

Triste is the kind of person who will be financially successful. The right kind of attitude. I will always wake up feeling I haven't done enough, achieve enough and when I see a chap get into his Ferrari, instead of admiring or be jealous, I'll tell myself why I cannot be like that one day.
Today, I'm way pass that goal, have a new target in life, always challenging myself....

I'm in this forum not to show off my stuff, if not for my younger days in HWZ, I probably never do this. These watches I have are just stuffs I like akin to PC stuff. I do not have to save or pay installments to buy them, it doesn't form even a small fraction of what I have nor I do not consider them as investments as well. Like it buy it.. And most young people should also buy these things within their reach as well.

I'm not born with a silver spoon and from a rather average family, my dad couldn't even afford a university education for me. I'll failed many times as well. To the young people here, reach for the stars, you may never reach it but u will not end with a pool of mud either. To the up and coming, find the golden man and gather his golden dust.

You in the property line?
