It should be named, "The Black Beauty".

For it truly is.

For a guy still in Poly, your watch choices are perfectly respectable.

Respectable? More like its an overkill

wah, no matter what civil servants can't wear luxury brands ah

lots of pple at my workplace wear rolex and omega leh (those mid 30s+)

Now with more brands with fully in-house manufacture and backed by the huge luxury conglomerates, maybe Rolex is starting less and less to distinguish itself. Remember in the 90s and early 2000s the ubiquitous Tag Heuer was all the craze. Who knows with now about every executive owning a Rolex, and Rolex churning out a million watches a year, and about every 2nd hand dealer stocked with them...Rolex may be the next Tag Heuer...just imagining. Especially since we don't see that much advertising as before and other brands are bumping up advertising too.

Yup thats the discount given to me.
Some bros here commented it looks very good on me too but i prefer the vintage loking blackbay red. Sadly its kind small on me / i not used to 40mm.

I think he means that you're going to buy something that's very expensive.

For instance, I have almost enough money to buy a Rolex watch but would have to live on bread and water for the upcoming months compared to buying a nice Seiko (which is well within your means) and am able to enjoy other luxuries of life.

Unless of course the watch is the only luxury you want for yourself.

Not to mention the cost of maintaining the watch from time to time.

 

[yattokame]

You got pm

You got pm too!

 

[Donten]

i bought from THG leh!!!!

you too gan jiong already. you hoot within few hours of asking? nonetheless, this piece i predict is gonna be classic in the makings. combining modern tech with classic designs, nothing can go wrong. the only thing i hope the next iteration adds is more pronounced bezel teeth for more omph and masculine design feel.

 

[Optrex]

Yeah, this one looks nice. Quartz very low maintenance.

Mine used to look like this. Now it so scratched up after 8 months. I dont even wear it everyday. But thatz the way titanium is. Still loving it though. Scratched until i no feeling already. Lol

 

[enversion]

Thinking about getting another brand of watch other than AP, anything similar to AP Royal Oak Diver's movement?

Ah yes, I did not take into account servicing costs.
