Picard is for 50+ years old uncles drawing <$2,500/mth who enjoys hanging out at compasspoint/jurong point/causeway point mostly...

what type of douchebag wallet are you using? need a heads up so i dont buy the same as yours. frankly speaking his choices are down to earth. he have no need to proof to you. i respect him more with that wallet than whatever stuff you are using.

It's only bo hua if you don't use it. My take is, if you like it and can afford it, why not?

Where's the wrist shot?

Finally had time to take a wrist shot today:

if i'm not wrong its a high-accuracy quartz movement with its 1/10th sec chrono...its really very good quartz, and not all quartz are created equal. can do me a favour and check your manual on the +/- seconds rating if you can find it?

no shame in quartz, still a watch and a much more reliable one than any mechanical, I'm glad Alpina is still pushing the envelope and stubbornly going down the high accuracy quartz route.

Manual never state . I'm not sure how accurate it is, but i do know it's super accurate, as I cannot suka suka set the time roughly as I do on my lower end watches...had to time it with the NTP servers (Internet atomic clock sync service for computers and phones) to get a damn accurate time. Ah well, cons of accurate watches, eh?

Well, I like to be discrete, so I don't mind having a Picard. Besides, I abuse my wallet a lot by throwing it on the sofa when I reach home, or sitting on it on the train or bus, so they tend to wear out in 2 years' time (My previous $50 wallet from Tommy Hilfager disintegrated itself after 10 months of use!). Chances are, my watches would outlive the lifespan of many wallets! Might as well get a decent looking wallet that's not too cheap and not too expensive?

my guess its +/-10 -20 seconds per YEAR variance...but so far i've been unable to confirm. been looking for a high accuracy quartz watch - the one to rule them all ....still looking.

Why not the Grand Seiko Quartz line SBGV and SBGX ??

IIRC they are +/- 10 secs a year
