-
dont think i can make it...

why everyone into Portuguese?
-
Will be more appropriate if we going to have Portuguese grilled fish this sat haha
-
/lim/, yeah, first time into Mac... i have 4 laptops/desktops at home and non of them are mine :D so though of getting one for myself and since wanted a new laptop might as well venture into Mac this time ;D Will take the lowest end laptop (and upgrade to 4GB, then install Win7 using the Parallel software)...
Chiew, set ya, so who joining? 1130am Sunday (7/2) wait at Pavilion entrance? Dennis, Chiew, Takashi, David?, Danny?
Chris, IWC Portuguese is real classic (to me), with that price (after discount or even at Retail) for an in-house movement and 7 days long PR, i guess no other brand (same level) can offer... IWC has not increase their price for at least 2 years now, the retail price is still the same when i bought mine 2 years ago except now discount is not as good but still worth in my opinion... So, if anyone ask me IWC Port or not, i will say get one ;D Just me la :thumbsup: If you have extra budget and ur wrist can pull through, IWC BP all the way (except you can't see the movement)
-
Sorry bros.
Once a week on a Sunday lunch (12noon - 2pm), I be a mommy's boy, ie taking mother to do lunch on a weekly affair.
Carry on and enjoy yourselves.

My advice, dun buy a Mac and use (or for the aesthetic reason and be different) it as a Windows PC. It is wasting ur $ and frustrates u :)
-
Thanks ;) I want to try out Mac but at the same time, i will still need Window for my SAP stuff... shouldn't take much resources i guess....
-
At this moment we have :
1. Dennis
2. Scott
3. Chiew
4. Takashi
5.
6.

I second as I just sold my MBP recently becos I am too deep rooted PC guy
-
guys I would say sundat GTG in Pavillion is better to be early then late better if its 10am becos dont forget its the last shopping weekend and the place is gonna be crazy filled with people after 10:30am perhaps
-
Heheh.too late guys, i already wet my hairs ;D
I agreed the earlier the better on Sunday..so, let meet up 1030am then...
I should be there early so please call me when you guys there... see ya ;)
-
1030am it is.
See you all then.
-
i actually saw potugis inside IWC butik (while was there collecting catalog ) in the shop... It is very nice cause its size was just enough for my small wrist (42.5mm) :thumbsup:
Can pm me the price of the portugis as i am wondering how much was it :HammerHead:
*cant make it this sunday cause i not in KL :mooning:
-
ok set becos I guranteed this week that area will be crazy as last weekend I when I almost faint... :Confused: :Confused:
-
I just went to the boutique just now and talk to the sales guy... Ya, there are 3 port 7 days there now, black dial, white with gold marker and white with blue marker...
Then I just find out they can do 0% installment for up to 12 months :D
-
ha..Scott that the good news to me... :Dancing_banana: btw the price are still e same as what u have PM me? this Sunday i ll try to reach there by 10.30am...erms..means i shd depart at 8.30am fr MLK... after the GTG can you all show me where to buy those change strap tool kits/screw driver?
-
White dial with gold marker is just yummy !
-
White dial with gold marker is just yummy !
I tried that but it's hard to read... then again, it's classcy la... and i don't mind taking my time reading that la...that's a beauty ;D
Dennis,
I doubt the boutique can give the same discount as I PMed you earlier but can talk to that guy (while nego, PLEASE don't mentioned the discount u can get and from where...just keep it to yourself) ;) He gave me the BP discounted price and not bad too... so, i guess wouldn't be that far off.... Other AD wouldn't do 0% installment plan...
As for the tool kits a...some other time can a...or if we buy then can help ship to your hometown la... coz ho..that day from Pavilion going to Petaling Street can be berry jam one le... hahahhaha... unless we all take Mono-rail/LRT/MRT la... kakaka
-
so many ppl go for port this year. we can form 1 week club soon. :Laughing_on_floor:
-
I wnt disclose others AD discount to them or any other dealers… :thumbsup: it will be great If u can help to buy and ship to me but just wonder would you feel troublesome.. Btw is it difficult for Port to change strap ;D
-
I think better you come here buy and take it with you... the watch is not cheap le and when ship to SG, the amount declare on the Shipping might cause to you pay the extra GST ;)
I never try changing strap on this Port but on a Pilot chrono before.... not that easy until the leather seasons a bit...but if you buy strap from the boutique u can always ask them to change for you ;) I'm thinking to get a brown strap for mine too ;)
-
hi Scott , pardon me for my lousy english... i mean u may help me to buy and ship to me "the screwdriver"... not the watch... :Laughing_on_floor: sorry for confuse u, my bad :HammerHead:
-
:HammerHead: hahaha... i didn't read properly also...
not sure i will going there anytime soon, but if i go there can help you or i'm sure the-Bay should have too ;)
-

Hopefully this years CNY angpow will be big enough for me to get a new B&R phantom. :Dancing_banana: :Jumping:
-

wah i wish ler... the ring was only round CAD 300 with a high sales tax of 12-15% in Canada.
So that would make it round SGD 400-500? if the AT comes with that ring at that price... i would go up sword mountain, go down fire sea, jsut to get it lor.
:Laughing_on_floor:
-
damn... i hv been missing lots of GTG. :(
@Terence
I will tumpang u on ur sea and mountain trip for tat price.. hahahha

Funny, i never remember that scene..haahha... and yes, Omega sponsor ma, so must advertise a bit otherwise they not happy...but it's funny that they also mention "Rolex?", this give the impression that Rolex come first then Omega is not bad too that kind of feeling...
-
Congrats man !
Chiew kena poison by the IWC Mission Earth Ing liao...
if I got very deep pocket I will buy both... :Laughing_on_floor: :Laughing_on_floor:
but unfortunately my pocket got hole joh.... :Laughing_on_floor:
-
but after cool down yesterday and think of it hey a Port is anytime more value for money then the Ing. becos Port have Chrono.... :Blue:
-
Omega ring?? :o Kinda of trendy ya like Cartier ring Tiffany ring...but more affordable...
Chiew, u need a calm down period for atleast few week n thn try both again see which 1 sing to u hehehe, for me I m sure go for Port 7days if BP can suit my skinny wrist thn I ll go for it.. Better is get both but I can't afford :Blue:
-
yeah ..looking for an alternative to my wedding band which is white gold.
tired of taking it to be polished and plated every single year due to it oxidising and turning yellow and scratching due to the chemicals of house chores and scratches in the gym.
the jeweller recommends not plating and polishing it too much...would reduce the carat weight in time.
maybe a 316L S/S would stand better to the abuse.
-
i take off my ring when i go to gym or doing anything will 'harm' my ring.
;D
my wife wear her wedding band depend on her outfit. :Laughing_on_floor:
i will recommend you get 'traditional' wedding band.
if you like this S/S Omega ring, get it as your fashion ring. :thumbsup:
-
yeah i am wearing a "traditional" band.
i hate to take it out cause i am scared to lose it or maybe i am just lazy.
also i am not much of an accessories person to wear too much stuff
a ring and a watch is good enough for me.

You a bit too focus on Daniel's night missions instead of dialogs.

no photoshop-ing at all its the film I guess because this roll of film is expired one and coupled with a very wide aperture that created these effects
-
Wa.... Nice wrist shot :P
can this "somebody" save this picture? Should ask u to take larger wrist shot so that "somebody" can use it as his laptop's wallpaper? Kakakka
-
Speaking of which... do they have any "photoshop" software to create these effects?
