[Spartanz.]

I had their DLC aviator. Grazed mine against a table and it chipped off. It wasn't a hard knock. Read good things about their DLC but my experience proved otherwise. Mine could be a lemon so it's up to you if you like it that much to risk it.



Erm... Looking at empty pool?

Is that toa payoh safra?

Walao eh why need to lubricate me deep deep??? What u gonna do to me???? LOL

 

[balzebub]

those with tudors or pelagos with 2824 mvt, do they keep time well? mine is currently +10 a day sia...

Hmm surprising my BB is around +1.5s per day mix of wearing and in watch winder..so i guess 2824 movement can be regulated/adjusted to have excellent accuracy out of box.

Side note, the SW200 in my Oris, also a very basic auto movement and a virtual clone of the 2824, is also at around +1.7s per day after regulation at service centre...

Guess you don't need an expensive movement from a expensive brand to get good accuracy.

Haha, yes I'm aware of that. Still, having lived in other countries for substantial amounts of time, the grass is not greener on the other side. At least for me.

My eldest is working at her first job in San Francisco. Pays her US$100k a year. She doesn't even get to smell almost half of it.

What can S$80 buy a year in the US? Certainly not a membership to a clubhouse with pretty much top quality facilities.

And no, I voted opposition during the last election.

$100k a year is USD$8.4k a month eh, I don't mind getting half of that for my first job

Possible to disclose which sector she working in? General is fine, don't need to go into specifics.
