3777-01? 4.2k USD is quite a good price, IMO. Getting it from overseas or?

I know Japan grey set going at around S$5.3k after 8% VAT refund and exchange rate of S$11.50 per 1000 JPY.

Google for "Jackroad", bro.

My PAM and Omega are also grey, BUT it has AD chops...

So I guess it's ok! I brought my Omega back to the boutique in SG to resize the bracelet, and no questions asked.

Some pay for the experience to purchase a watch from the AD, some just want to get the same watch at the lowest price possible. Haha.. Depends on you!

nice!!! Were you charged GST?

Nope, wasn't charge at all

Wow! nice. NO need to pay the 7 % GST.

Perhaps he has strapped it too loosely, don't seem to sit on the wrist nicely. Interesting choice to pair with shirt/jacket.

Nice PAM! But, yeah like others said, it looks a bit too big for you. and also the attire doesnt suit well IMO.

Still, its lovely piece![/QUOTE]

A bit too big for you? Or you strapped it looser?

the jacket is not the usual ensemble. just because it was fricking cold in office yesterday.

Fabian, yup I strapped it looser. I could tighten it a notch, i suppose.

 

[j3r0m3]

Is it a coincidence or wat? U can try asking jerome as a reference. Flatness of wrist also plays a part, apart fr sheer circumference.

I think he "shook" his watch all the way down to it can be seen beyond the cuffs.

Still, no one buys a pam to hide it under a sleeve...

Personally, buying a 44mm, is just one of those things where you want a watch that is seen.
Like what coern mentioned, a PAM needs to be seen.

6.25 inch seems a tad small though. you may need to customize your straps.
