Im sorry if i was a bit vague.. i'm trying to get HALDA ( http://www.haldasweden.com/the-halda-concept/ to Malaysia... it's a relativly new watch company but has the owners of Sjöö Sandström and Epoch backing them.. Sjöö Sandström  can already be found in Malaysia not sure it what store tough.. and it would be a GTG so only MWF members,but ofcourse friends would be allowed to be brought along.

Done a bit more reading in the link, looks like Svend Andersen is in the brand.

Now that bumps my interest up a notch.

http://kronosclub.blogspot.com/2011/04/10-day-testdrive-halda-space-discovery.html

OBS I havent gotten a deal yet.. im checking 4 the interest of the watch in Malaysia and then I'll decide what I want to do... If MWF shows no interest then I'll not bother hehe

Now it is a bit clearer what the TS wants.
He is trying to stir interest in Halda concept piece.
The CEO of Halda watch is Mikael Sandström, who helm this Swedish company.

The motto of Henning Hammarlund, the founder of Halda, back in 1887, is :
“If you are determined to become the best you can never compromise. Ever.”
The 21st century Halda concept carries his legacy forward in refusing to compromise on quality, functionality, style and innovation. And the driving force has been to develop a revolutionary concept with one uniting feature:  enabling the watch to be transformed to befit all situations in a life with the highest of demands. That is why it is based on functional superiority.

You mean you need to strike a deal with him in order for a GTG, I will be very much appreciated.  :Cheers: Where and when will it be?

A GTG would be preferably at a watch store interested in displaying the watch or selling Halda... before that eat some as usual! I haven't done a GTG b4 so thats why im asking hehe..

Cool Bro, may be you can propose a date and time, and of course location too. So those members interested can register themselves  :thumbsup:

A late bump... number 88 still available and i hope everyone seen the latest modules :D
( OBS the space and the 128 will not be available 4 future buyers.(unless buying second hand) ) but I'd like anyone to beat the idea and the watch in all it's forms :) )
44k is only friends price  now and maybe a handover pic for the papers 4 that price.. (sorry)

As WIS we're always interested in unique watches but pulling the trigger will be a different story..
the watch needs to speak to us when its on the wrist...

So let's get the gathering going...
Personal taste and preferences evolve over years, hopefully not 1 full circle otherwise it means we haven't learnt a single thing.

 :thumbsup:
spoke to me (#xx) :) so I want a buyer for the 88 that actually want and understand the watch... 88 I want someone who loves HIM/her... mine will only be for sale if they make an special number 666, and check out the race module bros :)
Still keep in mind that 88 is for sale and you will have a time pice that is even rarer than a moon watch unless really worn on the moon :)
