/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.

I am almost a recovered watchaholic, but last checked shows only 70% recovered. How?

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 :)

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

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

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 ;)
