After buying myself a pair of shoes for $100+ and for my wife a leather braun buffel purse/wallet today (cost price $200+) it dawned on me how really high a price we are paying for a simple stitched watch strap typically > $150. What do these online self-made strap makers think man....just because we paid $10k for a Panerai means we think nothing about splurging $200-300 on a strap? Or its that they peg prices just under the the OEM prices. I think the latter. Easy money man.....

haha "hand-stitch", "hand-made", "customised" so yea. haha but first time buying, try try lor. may revert to normal straps if i see no difference.
OEM is way way over-price. so straps maker price it slightly lower and people go wow and since they think people who can spend thousands on pam, don't mind paying.
anyway, straps uses very little leather material. i think cost of it is $50 and $130+ for "workmanship"

i see those more than $200, hell no! haha

btw this anthony replies quite guai lan. i tried to be nice, ask questions but he give me one word replies or the way he speaks or portray himself. like he is popular and he doesn't give a f about another singaporean buyer.

let's see after i meet him up, his attitude better anot. afterall i paying him good money to make a strap for me.

so far, not a very good experience. :(

was looking at this, dunno if 5.7k is a good price to pay for without its box and papers. At its oldest this watch would be perhaps 6 -7 years old. any recommendations for watches???

looks great but i can't tell you more than that for this particular model; you probably have to spend some time surfing watch forums and and used watch websites, both local and abroad. don't see it often though, so can understand your seeking for affirmation.

Thank you for the chance!!!!



Shiok. :s13:

I'd say both. The monster is quite......in the words of one of my cousins, "chunky and funky". I showed them the pica of the 53 and 57 and it can be a casual/dressy watch when fitted with the sailcloth strap.

Mr goh has a white mini with blue circumference at the dial, and the numerals on the bezel is colored blue from 0 to 20, the rest being black. Quite nice IMHO.

Wanted to hoot that white/blue mini monster initially. But itz really too big for me. Thatz why in the end i bought the black monster which is probably the largest size my wrist can take.
