The leather piece looks good, sturdy and well stitched

The 16 strap piece? That one is done in Sweden, got the maker to sign off on the back too.

Haven't been using that much since I use this heavy bugger:

But I am thinking of switching back to the 16 strap piece for the next meetup... Tiring lah!

Yeah, Ten10 does great work. He also does this:

And this (which I have in dark blue and grey interior):

And this!

Here's one from Kain Heritage: FS:::::Kain new travel case on sale!!

It carries the watches differently from Ten10 designs.

Or you can ask Ten10 to custom one to your liking!

I have another "travel" case, but it is about A5-sized, 2 watches and I think 16 straps! :)

dun change else the watch is half antique half modern if u get what i mean. check with rolex center wherther they still have the BNOS of the bracelet.. it should cost less then 1 k.. the solid end one cost me abt 1.1 k years back

Hmm I get what you mean.. the reason why I want to change to a solid version is because the original one look and feel extremely fragile. Woah 1.1k years back, I guess its more than that now :s22: btw how much do you reckon a polishing service will cost? Is it worth it to be polished by rolex or I can just go somewhere else to do it at a cheaper rate?

I'm eyeing an Orient sun-moonphase (ET0P002W) and it was offered by both skywatches and creation watches but the prices are very different:

Sky - $377
Creation - $280

Anyone knows why the difference is so significant?

I've bought two watches from Sky and they are OK and they have a physical store. Not sure about Creation as its strictly online. Should I stick to Sky or save money with Creation?

Dress watch at 39mm very normal. Oris one is 40mm
Oversize and dress watch don't really go well.
The dealer didn't remove it for u? Kinda over protective.

Get those on pocket watch movement they are like 40-42mm

Its dress watch size but for a skeleton, I feel it should be bigger so the innards can be more clearly seen.

Well, I did not ask for it to be unwrapped as it didn't impress me at first sight. I don't think they will unless they are sure you are very very likely to buy it. Its not the usual plastic wrap. I don't think they can wrap it up again if it is removed. Anyway, I think wrapping it up just makes it so much less attractive.

Did u check if both $ amount are referring to the same currency? Possibly 1 price is USD and the other SGD.
