Congrats on the toad strap! Have exactly the same colour, just different stitching. Bought a canary yellow one too.



Ordered a 512. I don't get my Pams in Singapore.



From Heirloom Gallery, look for Shawn. Will pass you his contact when I get home. Outside now.



Yup, that's his name. I got my hole puncher and have punched a few of my straps already. Easy and only I can wear those straps. Haha!

I have also got him to emboss my wife's strap before too.

Haha next time I want the 312, please hook me up. Haha. I want to emboss my name in my next strap. Got charge extra?

Just look for grey dealers on swx. They can get at prices cheaper than if you flew to Europe and bought it tax free (after minusing the VAT).

Yup, those one can wear and forget you're wearing. No need avoid doors and other collisions

Nice. Quartz or auto?

Weeks ago nearly tempted to hoot one similar modded set from yobokies.

It's a mechanic + smart watch. Either Jap or Swiss movement. SS Jap movt is USD 499. Delivery in Dec 2014.

Not sure if I need another smart watch. I still like my Pebble Steel.

Meteor looks good. Give a review when you receive it.

Anyone can advise where can I get black leather strap for snzh57, but in smaller size like ard 15cm? Actually I got one when I bought the 57 at Mr Goh. But after a few wears, I know the last hole still isn't good for my wrist because the watch will turn round and round...
No synthetic leather though. I prefer the good smell of leather.

How's this?

Carbon watch!!! A solar charger watch to charge your mobile devices?! Interesting, but not for me...

 

[gaoxing84]

The dial design very special. Haha what model? How much?

 

[slow_mo]

PAM 535. 12k+.

42 mm, GMT, 3 day reserve.

I think he doesn't charge for repeat customers, so you are good, since you are eying the Italian Green Calf leather.

Usually, for buckling holes, I would either choose 3 holes, so my buckling hole is the middle one and there is symmetry from the 1st and 3rd hole. Here's the difference between standard holes and what I did with mine, 3 holes only.

OR I will measure and punch a buckling hole myself, using this, bought from Self-Fix!

Well, it's through a personal friend who is very much into watches that he is willing to help me buy these watches from overseas. I just go to the local AD, check out the watch and then call him to see if he can get it. Only downside is that I have to wait a while before I receive the watch.

I am not in a hurry though.

@Vanilla Way: Here's the website: Heirloom Gallery. All the details are on the front page.

@Gurgkle: Like I mentioned before, mine's a bit different. Here's a photo of mine, which I just took today, after wearing the straps for the past 11 months:

1. Black colour burnished edges
2. Minimal beige stitching (Canary Yellow strap)
3. Minimal black stitching (Riveria Blue strap)
4. No buckling holes
5. Pre-V polished/brushed buckles

They are still quite stiff but I do change my straps quite a bit though so they don't get much wrist time, in its defense!

Argh, another wall of text & photos. My bad!

Wow! Double of what my pam cost!

solar quartz, but deceptive due to its 11mm height and straight corners that makes it look big. its a sleeper hit, quite a lot in the wild, especially in the USA where there seems to be an attraction to pilot watches.
