Winding my watches before I start my day is the highlight of my life which I look forward to every day

Swee leh!

Btw ask u question, for your hand wind watches, have you encountered any issues with the winding stem?

One of my friends said that he heard of speedy winding stem that had to be replaced, probably due to owner tendency to "over wind".

Trying on the TAG Heuer Monaco REF: CAW211P.FC6356

Retail SGD8,100

This is a very personal choice I feel. The 324 movement vs the 3120 movement.

For the AP, you may be able to get some discount. The 5167 will be about 25K (rubber) - steel bracelet a little more.

Servicing, the PP will be cheaper. The rubber strap is around $300+ currently.

It is market knowledge that AP servicing is one of the heftiest in horology. Replacing the beautiful bracelet is about $3-4K+ thereabouts.

Buy both? :o

Bro, is your friend Popeye? I think he exerted to much strength

Manual wind watches must be apprehensive, turn slowly once you feel the friction - stop. don't keep on pushing especially tail end, will break the mechanism. quite obvious when the mainspring is fully wound. The crown will simply not turn any further :)
