thanks patryn33

i do not need to have chrono, but i like the look, with more dials (if i call it correctly)

JLC seem like a good choice.
1. in house and reliable movement used by alot of others.
2. nice design
3. though poor resell value, (i think i need to look past this) since i wld not be selling in the next 10 yrs i think.

my seat is really corrosive which the normal leather strap i dun think can take. just to share how bad are my sweat, though not as bad as sea water
e.g 1. i ever had a metal spectacles which corroded very badly and was cuting into my skin
2. when i sent in my gshock to the service centre, the service personnel mention she never see the watch in such dirty condition, though i clean with toothbrush every now and then (at least once in 2 weeks.)

was reading in one the forum someone saying the JLC choices in singapore are quite limited, will have to shop around somemore to check out.

when i go into the JLC site seem like less bracelet option though from watch quote there seem to be a couple of options.
was wodering whether we can get the seller to change to bracelet?
would it still be the original jlc bracelet?

personally i wld consider the following:
1. master chrono
2. master calender
basically from this sort of looks.

thanks alot for the advice

If your working environment would cause such damage to watches.

May I humbly suggest you go for hardier pieces and buy a luxury dress watch for special occasions instead?

Something like a durable and tough no frills diver like a pelagos, seamaster etc for daily wear that you can beat up. And a nice dress piece for that special event.

I'll wait for the pelagos refresh to be released before pulling the trigger :)
