comments on the watch n brand from you guys?

i quite liked the look of the turbine watch when i first came across it... then realised that the brand recognition was pretty low and not many ADs in singapore to try. so gave that idea up. ;)

Another thing to share is that the lighting at the watch meet is yellow and dim, next time we change to a brighter place and do relook at the nautilus again. I bring mine too. Hopefully can bring the 5270g by then. Looking carefully u will also see how fine the worksmanship is. Nautilus at that price bracket is worth it, the history as well. Really I do not see why the Urwerk can cost twice of my RG nautilus. But that's like bashing myself. But the look of Urwerk from comments of all the pretty girls so far is priceless. Hehe

Agree iceflight dai dai gor...
The photos I took were orange or yellowish... luckily xwtish7 bought his DSLR.

The clearback of the nautilus is BEAUTIFUL... Can't stop looking at it.

I would love to examine these fine watches again ^.^.

You're gonna bring yours too!!! Woohooo!!! =D

well...iceflight dai dai gor is enjoying the attention hahaha ^.^ urwerk is certainly a conversation starter.

it's not terrible value at $3k if you like the look given that retail is almost double? the movement is called "in house" but that could be stretching the truth as Soprod is in the same family of companies and watch blogs suspect that it's based on a Soprod A10.

This is the explorer 1? WAH, this is one of the personal favourite of the Japanese dorama king Kimura Takuya lor. I also wish to wear one like my idol, but not cheap right??? :(
Yeah realised a lot of japs like the explorer 1 and they carry it very well.
Not as popular in sg ad compared to the sub and gmt though

Thats the 36mm though. Not the current 39mm which wears big due to a thin polished bezel compared to functional bezels of most other sports models.

Sanya , Hainan.

The explorer , not the most expensive nor luxurious. Most prefer the sub and gmt than it... for me , the more i look it on my wrist , the more attracted i'm to it... even it is lying on the desk , i'll take a second glance at it... lol sounds biased but i love it and glad i got it instead :o;)

Totally agree that the Explorer is one beauty. Simple and beautiful

Apparently spotted Kimura wearing it in Hero 2014! It's been 17yrs since his exp I's last appearance in Love Generation :o

But Kimura's one is the older version (14270). Pagani bro's is the latest one and larger as well.

Mine says hi!
