The Watch Thread - Part 5

Dinner in Chinatown

And finally, some lamb





All in all, not bad. But not going back. Service is too slow and the restaurant was too hot. Couldn't wait to get out.

omg, the lamb looks good

And the strap madness continues, with photos from my strapmaker!

Lovely full pearl stingray hides (black & brown) waiting to be turned into straps

I requested for full pearl so the pearls run down the middle of the straps. Can't leave out my wife's Pam so ordered 2.

His & Hers

Both straps are, as usual, unpunched.

Can't wait for them to arrive!

Would it be difficult to punch holes through the pearls?

 

[irelkZ]

Thank you very much

Neither. 21 mm

This sat sir.
Recovering well but now really praying the kids dont fall sick.

Dad's also recovering from shingles; according to him its drying up.

Thanks for asking

Good to hear this piece of news.

Have to keep drinking water esp in this kind of weather and to have ample time to rest well.

 

[PingJun]

Which one looks more interesting leh?

However I have to admit that the design of some of the quartz watches are very nice.

An example would be tissot PRC 200.

 

[sharkapl]

i am asking to be poisoned

This type of sumptuous cave man meal can only be by CBS. Other than restaurants do you normally eat so heartily? Next time just snap your cai peng. I want to know how much to eat to get your size haha.

I'd say you spend close to a thousand bucks just on meals like this a per month?

Please, not only me lah. You also can eat what.

At home it's a lot simpler. A piece of fish/meat and some veggies. Maybe some fruit and/or cheese if I feel like dessert.

What I'm anal about is food quality, hence I very seldom eat at hawker centers or coffee shops. I avoid anything that's cooked in vegetable oils (corn, canola, soya bean, sunflower...) which pretty much rules out all hawker food.

In all honesty, I spend much more than a thousand bucks a month eating out, and it's because I'm very particular about my food quality. Even a meal at home for myself would cost around $30 or so.

But it balances out for me cos I only eat one meal a day.

The reason that it gets expensive is because if I eat high quality, the rest of my family eats high quality too. And guess who pays...

 

[All in a Day]

what i meant is that the daytonas are better investments than housing looking at the rate they appreciated

Daytonas WERE a better investment if u had a crystal ball then, n bought up a stash in the 60s, 70s when nobody were really interested in them... As with the milgauss, the 1655 explorer 2... N the list goes on..

Hard to imagine your kids taking to such a diet n no 'commoner' hawker food.. But well.. So long everyone's happy.

Oh no, they're free to eat whatever they want. And they do enjoy hawker food.

It's just that if I'm eating with the family, they will have to eat "good" food, for my sake. But nobody complains. They have the whole day to eat whatever they want. It's just dinner that they have to eat better, haha...

Could be the Pam 392? 42mm, 3 day power reserve, Luminor 1950 casing but the casing is brushed steel instead of titanium. Maybe there was some confusion there, since brushed steel & titanium may look the same?

Would it be difficult to punch holes through the pearls?

Good question, I have no idea! Will try punching them when I get them straps.
