This is the one to keep. This strange guy always lifting his watch to the camera

The scenery is really beautiful.. But something in me was wishing the watch shot to be clearer.. Haha.. Maybe back in Singapore give us some microshot of your RM.. the watch appreciation spirit in me is eating up the happening in real world (scenery).. Hahahahaha..!!!

in situations like this... the value of the scenery is way higher than the watch, because its priceless...

"Everything else... There's Mastercard" =P

Guys, I leaving soon on a two weeks biz trip that will take me to timezones GMT-10, GMT + 11, GMT+12 and GMT +13. This will be my OS GMT's first trip to different timezones:

As I'm staying just a couple of nights or so at each timezone, it makes sense to keep the hands pointed at home time and the internal GMT dial adjusted to local time, right?
I think if its the way round, I will have to adjust the hands and the GMT dial each time. More work.
Agree?

Hour hand point to home. GMT hand point to local. That's how I do it.

hour hand point to SG timing (GMT+8) then the red hand point to the timing of that country

So it will be easier to see home time while local time will need to look at the GMT hand + dial. Ok. Was hoping the other way round but more work.

Was at cortina while waiting for the missus.

Montblanc perpetual calendar steel around 18k, RG ard 30k. Boutique will get them next month and ADs will get ard sept. May not have discounts. BUT it's 39mm. We tried a few 39mm and agreed its too small on me.

Then he showed me the catalogues and i noticed a lot look like JLC - he told me one JLC fellow went over, dunno boss or what.

Thought you'd rest a while after the Pam but seems you are already set on the next, surfing the IWC, Zenith and now Mont Blanc. I grow from one purchase to another....why don't you let some 'growth' before next purchase to avoid possible regrets ....unless before the Pam you already wanted 2 or more designs la. Heh

Since you are on a roll let me itchy backside suggest. Why don't you get a rectangular watch. One of the bigger JLC reversos or the IWC Davinci. Or get a Glashutte Original they make bigger dress watches. Combine your liking for beefy Pam with dressy PP.

To me the effort is secondary. If my priority is ease of knowing sg time then i will leave hour hand untouched. If priority is local time, i will adjust hour hand to local time.

With smart phones, u typically get local time when u have auto roam, if that's of consideration.

Personally, I like the opposite.

When I look at the watch, mostly it's to check the time locally, and it's faster to process that mentally with the regular 12-hour reading. So at the end of the day, I save more time reading time.

well... not too sure if its true but i have a feeling that yatto dai kor is more than capable to hoot an ALS complication... but probably due to certain financial commitments or restrictions, he is getting his watch-retail-theraphy elsewhere by getting similar watch types...

so i doubt right now... even if he DOES hoot Zenith, IWC, JLC, GO...it will be sufficient to cure Yatto dai gor's itch...

my 0.00000002 cents
