you talking to the guy who pays all his cars in full in cold hard cash.

so you should know to me there is no diff.

 

if one needs to take a zero instalment plan to feel less pinch or save on that measly interest amount then one CAN'T afford it. period.

 

if wear a $50k watch, take instalment to buy, i pwui...

i for one would rather not buy and not wear.

 

back to watch discussion please.

 

lately i saw a few girls wearing gold square casio digital watch.

teamed with the right clothes , does bring out the retro feel quite well.

 

Well, think we argue on this point before, to me it's just a matter of arbitrage and npv of money that's all but probably 10% doesn't make much of a difference on a 10K watch.....btw HourGlass just advertise big big 32 months interest free installment for DBS card holders.....too bad I don't use them

Agreed. Cut cloth accordingly. As long as can sleep soundly.

I am curious, is your leather strap water proof as well?

 

it is water resistant but only becos i treat my leather /croco/ exotic skin straps with leather oil.

it gives the leather its natural moisture and locks it the soft yet strong texture.

it also creates a nice coat of water resistance which allows me peace of mind to wet or even submerge it in water as long as not for extended periods.

 

in worst case, i just replace the strap.

i replace the straps often anyway becos get bored of the same one.

rolex suitable bands are the elegant kind which not only looks good but wear very comfy.

 

i only use 20mm by 16mm straps for my Rolexes.

although they are not Rolex straps, they follow the Rolex sizing.

when applied, looks perfect for the watch.

other types of strap just wouldnt look as good.

 

Pam is gd for strap lovers, many variations and after mkt retailers.

shell cordovan, ted su etc....

very nice too but just not my style.

Yep. I did. It's my daily beater.

 

Was looking for a white face and realized that there aren't many that look nice (to me, at least and within my budget).

 

Probably look for a black/ non white face next and with some other functions in a couple of years time.

 

Somehow I keep coming back to Rollies. Maybe the resale value has something to do with it, not that I intend to sell but if I want to pass it to someone, I feel better if I know it has some value.

 

I'm eyeing the Daytona but that will only happen if I'm earning significantly more and after I have bought a home in SG.

 

Zenith (the older models before Nataf) also appealed with its EP movement but I don't like the direction they took since Nataf. Pity, the brand could have been developed differently.

 

Happy New Year to you and your family!
