One whole week of just exercising my mouth. Today is a new start. Exercising other parts of my body...

Hi

if total same look
Longines after less 2K
Zeppelin after less 490

which watch all of u will chose?

Its a personal choice and what we think shouldnt matter. What do YOU think?

Lots of other such situations.. Many rolex and pam lookalikes (homages) out there that are of respectable quality n near identical looking n at a fraction of the cost. Diff ppl would choose differently depending on budget, self consciousness and level of brand ***** (in that order, imho).

Pressing, squatting or deadlifting?

 

[chickenbackside]

Squatting today, followed by some kind of vanity ecercise. Will see how I feel later.

Feeling strong today. Not surprising since I took a week off.

Hey guys what do you do to protect your watches when passing through airport security? Some airports insisted that the watch go through the x ray. Fortunately I was wearing something inexpensive but setting you guys wearing high end pieces what do you do? Put it in a coat pocket (which has to go through x ray anyway) but this only works during winter. What about Sumner? Maybe in the shoe since if they are parasitoid enough to x ray the watch usually they x ray the shoe too

Eek, since when are x-rays harmful to watches? I think protecting your balls would come as a higher priority...kekekek

Shopping for a dress watch...budget around 1-2k, any recommendations?
I'm looking for something that looks clean and simple, leather strap, without a date window and Arabic 3,6,9 is optional. Something that looks like master control

Other than look, I look at :

1. Quality, craftsmanship, finishing.....different words meaning more or less the same.
2. Durability. Same look but there is more than meets the eye. How long before the finishing starts to deteriorate. Are both sapphire crystals? How long before the insides start to fail?
3. After sales service and repair. Longines should be there, Zeppelin?

.....that's all for now.

Injury?

Recover first. Slowly. It's a journey. I've learnt my lesson. Don't lift when injured, or you'll injure yourself even more.

Most probably going back to iPhone when the new one is out.

Yeah.. that's why I am thinking of going back to Apple.

My current HTC One is my first Android phone. While there are many things that I enjoy about it, even more than an iPhone, I have to say that for my next phone, it's back to Apple.

Overall, it's just a more pleasant experience for an uncle like me.

Hi everyone,
I have a orient macko but the stem winder broke when i tries to adjust the time this morning. The watch is only three months old.
I read online that this is considered as manufactuer defect and when i email the service center in sg they said its not cover under warranty. Why is it so? Anyone know where can i replace the stem at a cheaper price?TIA

Fade_white... if you don't mind a pre-owned early 2014 NOMOS, you can get a like new at JW (International Plaza level 2. Open on Thursday and Saturday)

Its really thin and really light. You won't believe that the watch is automatic

Since you mentioned that you wanted a design similar to JLC Master Control, you can consider the following brands as well:

1) Hamilton Jazzmaster
2) Seiko Automatic 23 jewel
3) Orient Bambino (Pre 2013 version and Post 2013 version)
4) Raymond Weil Toccata and Maestro
5) Tag Heuer Link (Pre Own)
6) Frederique Constant Slimline and Classics
7) Rotary
