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?

Seagull. Local company, and also "supplier" of the WUS forum watch.

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.

Lol time to rack up 10 posts.. anw I'm not sure if its you or another user that owns a Sinn watch. Do you have any idea whether my budget is suitable for Sinn watches? Thanks!

There are Sinn watches < 2.5k.

You should just go watch shopping and try on some watches in the shops. Prices are listed too. Ask for discount and see what you can get with 2.5k.

how bout a compromise between you and you parents. 2.5k from them, 2k from you. and you can get the same lume as the one that is posted. :D

i might be bias. used to like sinn for their understated look. but when you compare u1 to the mm300, eta(not a bad thing) vs inhouse unregulated gs movement, nicer dial because of applied indices(imo), better lume. end of day is which watch speaks to you the most.

Watches spotted in the wild

Spent most of the afternoon at Parkway Parade and East Coast Park, noticing what people were wearing on their wrists, of those I can recognize ( which include most luxury brands) spotted 2 smart watches, 6 Rolexes (all subs, maybe 1or 2 gmts) and 1 omega PO. Clearly again lolek is the national favorite. :)

Is 2.5k the price when buying online? Or is there a shop selling at this price? I can't buy online.. :( I checked Big Time's site, and the MM costs 2.8k. Else I love that watch, diver + a hint of dressinessssss

Wanna buy together??? Sg-roc got a grey seller, indon based... $2400... Maybe we can get a slightly better price for 2pieces

Are you referring to the Pelagos haha! Used to like the tag heuer aquaracer 500m, but then it's rather expensive ugh.. gone were the days where you can get a tag for less than 2k..

A couple of Tag Aquaracer automatic watches at Mustafa go for about $2500 leh. I think non watch people may frown at spending $2.5k on a Seiko, lol.
