Hmmmm since there is quite a following for bambino I just have this crazy thought abt customizing one for this hwz thread. Maybe the dial or the caseback can include the words "hwz forums " or something? Like a commemoration watch for all of us here.

Dont think orient will entertain us though. But perhaps a 3rd party will?

A simple engraving will do.

Long time no see!!! Had been helluva busy week at work!!!

Just ordered a black and RG bambino from creationwatch.com. It's way cheaper than local merchants. Have this mad plan of collecting all models hahaha. The missus really likes the bambino. Its really a nice watch at that price. If only the crystal is sapphire.....

Gave my cousin the steel bambino for his 21st bday and he loves it. Thanks all here for the recommendations esp VW's wrist shot. That really catalyzed the entire madness hahaha.....

Looking at citizen navihawk AT or the steinhart bronze pilot. The former is a dream watch of mine since many moons ago but the steinhart is so special.

Hope everyone enjoyed their good fri hol - I certainly did. Whole day with the kids. Morning at wild honey then went toys shopping at taka. Almost bought the HUGE transformer metroplex for myself but the missus says she'd rather i buy bambinos with that price hahaha

Very happy 21st bday present. I also got him an edifice for his 18th bday yrs back.


The latest navihawk. Looks very nice.
anyone knows where i can get this at a good price? Amazon's $600sgd seemed the best so far....with free shipping.

What a coincidence, I ordered the RG one for my wife too.

Citizen really know how to make a watch face complicated yet easy to tell time, nice one.

I thought usually transit carry standard series?

But 20% off is quite a good price. Around 9k+++
paiseh...is 10k

They have limited models at the Hong Kong airport. :)
This weekend I'll drive to Salt Lake City n check out what they have there. And buy a dozen of Krispy Kreme donuts while i m there. :D

Hi.. need some advice here. My parents just told me that for my 21st birthday, they will get me any present I want, as long as it is within their means. So they concluded that a watch would be a good gift, as it is a very lasting gift. I hope that they won't have to spend way too much, so probably setting the budget at 2.5k or lesser.. are there any brands that are within this price range? Recently the prices of many watch brands have rose, so not sure what is the pricing range now.. :( hopefully can get some advice here thanks!! :s12:

Buying online will be impossible.. as they kinda don't approve of online shopping haha

U can look at some entry level to mid-tier Swiss auto time pieces from Ball, Oris, Tag, etc. What type of watch are u interested in? Dress? Sports/diver? Basic 3-hand or a chronograph movement?

Hmmm would prefer a diver/dress style, preferably automatic movement! :s12: chronograph would be expensive to service tho. Wow ball watches can be had for less than 2.5k? I always had the impression that their prices are :s22::s22:

Btw I don't think I can get a tudor or omega at that price bah..?

My boy says hi! Loving the muted handsome-ness (watch, not owner :o ). The blue lume stunned me when I walked into the lift. It was the first time I see the lume in person, and I totally didn't expect the the sexiness.
