The Watch Thread - Part 5

[rboyboy]

Even the missus said woah.

yatto san sometimes I hate you for posting pics especially when it's pretty affordable. btw what's the cheapest outside? Should be less than 200 I think.

 

[cichlid]

anyone knows where can i buy this?

Can try Bencoolen, Tanjong Katong Complex ground floor shop, Boon Keng wet market, Tekka wet market upstairs, Mustafa and of course Big Time.

Haven't tried engraving on the pre-v buckle yet.

And yes, the GPF buckle is sewed into the strap, so the only way to change the buckle is to cut up the strap! I ordered this GPF buckle from Elias, in Greece, and he had a friend engrave it for me before shipping it to Malio in Indonesia to have it sewed onto my Malio strap.

Elias is a popular Greek buckle guy that supplies brass buckles to quite a few strapmakers, and Maliostrap is one of them.



Yeah, and the constant reminders by the wifey...

wow! so much! must have spend alot! sew abit trouble for me. the normal pre v style buckle is easy, screw in and out.
but the engraving on your buckle is very very nice!

will check out the brass buckles!

never leh...am I suppose to see his pic before?LOL.

Didn't really spent too much, about S$200 for both strap and buckle. It is something unique for me and the only setback is the waiting time, about 6-8 weeks, but it is worth it.

Daily beater.

Price increase is SOP for luxury brands with or w/o CR haha. No doubt he is an expensive model though!

the talk of the town..... orient bambino

from part IV of The Watch Thread:
For the benefit of those who are keen......

from creationwatches.com

white/RG $157 ER24002W
black/RG $165 ER24001B
white/YG $165 ER24003W
black/steel $165 ER24004B

shipping within sg is freeeeeee

black with rose gold


White with steel


white with rose gold


quite a number of us are pretty sold on this piece. the dome crystal is probably the most attractive part of the watch, and gives it a vintage look. clean, neat and simple. Very nice dress watch.

the new bambinos come with roman numerals. Not bad looking too.

as of all watches, do try them on physically before pulling the trigger. Pictures can be VERY deceptive. Make sure it is what you REALLY like.

you can go to bencoolen WINS trading or probably any watch shop that sells Orient watches to try them on. The shops sell for around $200.

All the best!
