The Watch Thread - Part 5

[i_got_a_question_to_ask]

The Hour Glass: FY14 net profit rose 4% to $54.9m on revenue of $682.8m (+13%) as the group continued its sales growth momentum throughout the year. Gross margins held at 23% despite severe global pricing pressure but bottomline was weighed by rsisng wages, selling and promotion expenses and rental expenses.

My humble post for the day.

This looks huge on your wrist. What is the watch size and your wrist size??

 

[All in a Day]

It is really hard to measure this way, as a 6.5 incher (i mean my wrist), I can still say some 38-42mm watches wears uncomfortable and not suitable. Mainly our wrists can be flat or rounded, so trying it on will tells it all.

Good luck in your hunt and hope a nice watch finds a real good owner...

What else can it mean? hmmm

Friends what is the best way to wash nato strap? Throw in washing machine can? It's become stinky like hell after using for some time.

Or do you guys usually buy new one?

Only way to know if the watch wears well and comfortable is to try it on. The design is only a start.

Until you've tried and owned enough to know

that's a good summary of why customers are paying more and getting less discounts in hour glass: commissions, advertising and branding and rental.

Overheard a restaurant owner sharing about business ther other day. Seems rental in Sg is at unbearable levels. His point was that if you want to have a shop you got to own it, can't rent and make good money. See the foodcourts also you know..prices increasing after new owner, after renovation. Example is Parkway Parade foodcourt after Banquet left and the renovation, I don't patronize some of the stalls anymore.

Hi bros,

Can I check for those bros who frequent K2, do they carry a wide selection of Seiko series 5 watches?

Am keen in this model but I'm not sure if they have this model in stock.

Seiko SNZJ15:

Cause I know K2 do have some nice straps, looking to change the strap as well upon purchase, would like to get it done at one shot then enjoy the watch.

Thanks!

unless real income goes up to match inflation, i doubt this situation is going to last.
