They have a catalogue with the straps... I find my hirsch too big for my wrist and need to punch hole

 

[Paladium]

Yep. From creation... Not very impressive leh...

Maybe getting the new rolex celini

Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, Let it go
Turn my back and slam the door

 

[99Nylon]

bought this today...

where did you get it from? any wrist shots?

 

[socketer]

If the impress factor is measured against cellini then seriously is like expecting a proton to look n perform like a mercs leh.

Btw, v impressed w ur rolex sports collection over 8 yrs u mentioned abt w pic! Care to share more?

This guy posted tons of picts which was later found to be stolen online... Living a life which wasn't his to begin with

Watches, bicycles...

I think even his NTU degree is a fake..

Strictly speaking, complicated dress watch is quite an oxymoron but however become acceptable this day and age. Dressy watch and dress watch are different IMHO.

Agree 1000%

Just curious on how you guys view watch ownership.

Do you guys flip more than keep? And for those who have multiple watches in the inventory and flip often, my guess is that you dun even wear many times before flipping, so in terms of cost/wear, its going to be quite expensive! You guys look at it as a form of payment to upkeep ur hobby? Or really is 'hoot first think later'?

I kept an xls of watch purchases and sales, and throughout the years, I have lost quite some bit through flipping (those bought new and those bought from preowned shops lost the most), to the extent that I though the $$ could have been a lot better spent on the family (yar, quite regrettable).

Now i have cut down my holdings to only three watches (rollie, nomos, sinn) and made the effort to spend if (a) i decide to keep as hand-me-on watche, or (b) I feel I am fine with the depreciation (aka rental, maybe $100 for each flip i can accept)...

In any case this thread is full of temptations... I think KYM threads on edmw healthier for the wallet..

i am surprised someone actually did the same thing as me, keep an excel spreadsheet.

reason for doing it is to remind myself how much i have spent (or wasted), not to spend excessively, and not to wear a big hat when your head is not big in the first place.

mine started as an xls to document the serial numbers of watches i bought w/o papers... just in case it got lost or stolen (and found later), i can still prove what's mine, i hope...

i also keep xls of other stuffs like house maintenance costs (to report to iras), bicycle accessories purchases...
