i still prefer ROO for AP

i notice alot of ah bengs and lao bengs wear ROOs nowadays..it's getting too loud. [:p]

 

i'm starting to like more and more the "classier" and more subdued ROs :wub: (not to mention they are cheaper and cleaner without the chrono)

agree with you. For any watch that's priced above 20k, ROO one of the most common nowadays.. lots of Ah beng towkays wearing it

There was this time I went for a quick lunch by myself in one of those ground floor coffeeshops in the Lavender area. Sat down at an empty table next to a group of Polo T-Shirt and jeans-wearing young towkays (with collar folded up, no less). They were each sporting an AP ROO on their wrists. Imagine 5 young chaps sitting around smoking and drinking kopi and swearing in Hokkien, wearing ROOs. I felt so shy and didn't want to be associated with them and had to hide my wrist, but I am sure they noticed also. So shy lah... wear AP.... [blush] [blush]

So thats why now , you swing to gold Daytona?

 

Dont let others determine what you wear, its who wears what not what who wears.

 

[cool]

Aiyah bro, I bought my first AP in 2008... the Volcano... For a couple of years, it felt cool to be wearing it and everybody was gushing about it. In that time I also bought the Safari, Rose Gold Rubberclad, and the Navy. Never believed in paying twice or triple the price of a standard ROO for Juan Pablo Montoya or Barrichello. I have posted pics of the watches before in black-and-white so you guys were guessing which models they were because you couldn't see the colours. I was trying to make a point: APs are pretty dumb watches.... a different coloured rehaut, different coloured numerical index, different coloured dial or dial with some alteration to it, they call it a new model or they give it some grandiose moniker and brand (also price) it as such, to the extent of having some celebrity sporting it on his/her wrist (yes even for the non-signature models).

 

I am left with only a Safari now.... it is the least "beng-ish" of the APs I possessed.

 

I discovered just how farked up the situation was when I was selling my APs. The people who came to buy, OMG..... brand new Mercedes coupes, brand new Porsches, cannot speak proper English, stinking of new, fast wealth, one of them even got very friendly with me and said, "I just sold my property, now got a lot of money". OMG I couldn't believe he told me that within the first ten minutes of meeting me!
