Just received my strap case this afternoon. Really happy with the quality and of course the price of it. it's by JnS; a local singaporean husband and wife custom strap makers.
they are clearing the stocks because apparently it's does not allow much allowances for longer straps. the longest strap i have is 140/80 and it jsut fits perfectly. try to get them while they are still in stock. really a good deal. sorry if this is considered shilling.
mods please delete if inappropriate.
Here are some crappy iphone pics. Sorry if it looks a bit yellow. my house lights are all in this shade :laugh:

cool.... a good one for pam lover who like to play with their strap!
-
Nice!
Always admire PAM folks with their collection of straps.
-
u are one step faster thn me...i ll collect mine on tmr :Dancing_banana:
-
i'm still considering either to get the JnS, ted su or patrik case
anybody has a patrik case to compare?
-
think ted su only have a travel case..and not a strap case. it's looks great but way pricey like his straps too.
also patrik cases are beautifully made. would love to have the book cases. but just that this jns case is is too good of a deal to be missed. :Dancing_banana:
hehehh dennis... i had it done on express same day delivery. what colour did you get?
-
Nice looking leather case :thumbsup:
long time back i've thought of getting one... but i don't think it can fit all my straps as I have more then 20 straps to be honest... yeah...was crazy about panerai last year and non-stop buying straps :HammerHead:
end up i'm using a small tool-box to keep all my straps until today ;) cost me only MYR5 which i bought from 5Ringgit-store somewhere in town...
-
wah can open shop di Scott :D
think these kinda cases are jsut novelty .... not really a necessity. a nice shallow, wide table drawer with some seperators would be the best. but because of space constraints in my house... this is the best. can jsut insert into the book case.
maybe can start a thread of Pams with different straps already :laugh:
cheers
-
mine is black color with 'protoype' price;D , eyeing the Ted Su & Swiss Ammo stamped strap but can't action now till my vitamin M recover (spend too much $ & time on the watches this month)...scare wifey :Scolding:

:Laughing_on_floor: u not ordinary ular....but Anaconda!!! :Laughing_on_floor:
-
Wow you guys living the good life over there eh.....haha
-
Wow you guys living the good life over there eh.....haha
:Laughing_on_floor: what good life?
prop prices are damn expensive. paying half a million dollars for an apt the size of our malaysian master bedroom.
cars are cheap but the maintenance, tolls, parking, insurance, depreciation rate.. would kill you.
living here is pay and pay... and pay... :Laughing_on_floor: to the government.
even old folks here can't afford to retire. whahahha
-
ya…agreed on this...prop price is like crazy..a HDB flat can shoot up to 700k or a million but funniest part is the car i bouht on Dec 08 at S$72k can sell at $71k now. Thanks for the appreciation of COE... :Laughing_on_floor:
however u will quite suprise on how much I am paying for the car insurance and road tax. i am paying $3,600/yr for my car insurance and $1010/yr for the road tax…$60+/mth for the open car park… whn I was in m'sia I am paying RM600+/yr for my car insurance, RM200+/yr for e road tax and parking is FREE!! if i sold off my car i thk i can buy more watches :Laughing_on_floor:
another thg make me miss the good old day when I was work in M'sia is easily we have more thn 14 days public holiday. :thumbsup: That is only 11 days public holiday in SG - 2 day for each race (Chinese, Malay, Indian and Guai Lou) + 1 Labour day + 1 National Day + 1 New Year…
-
hahha.. then.....
why not come back?
ahhahah.. i'm sure SG has other good thing attracting you guys to work there ge :Cheers:
cheer up!! weekend is near and tomorrow is wesak day, public holiday in malaysia :Cheers:
-
If I were you, I would think twice on coming back. One thing I sure you can wear your time piece anywhere and anytime. in the republic
Back home, you have to choose what to wear to your place of destination. Safe environment is top priority.

yeah, i guess the ppl who bought the COE when it was 1k last year must be laughing till today :Dancing_banana:
talking about safety, early this year the wife and i were back in KL. late at night, she got to do some emergency manicure for a function the next day. the only place that was still open was this shop in PEtaling street.
we were the only customers there and the shutters were down. i was getting a foot massage while she was gettting her manicure done. when the massuer commented/complimented her on her ladies DJ, i suddenly got the jitters.
our car was parked next to the tong shui stall and it;s already midnite. the shutters were down and god knows what was waiting behind the shutters. my mind was playing tricks...guess nothing happened and i was jsut being paranoid. :Laughing_on_floor:
but you're right... i never get those feeling wherever i go in SG unlike KL.
you see girls wearing hot pants walking all over SG no matter what time of the night and still feel safe.
-
Scott, i do plan to come back three years later as i am a Kampung Baru Boy aka "Kampung kia", i miss my kampung life n plan to move back to my kampung for simple life but my wife dnt agree on this...she like the safe & Vibrant environment here and she wanna settle down here.
David, i travel back every weekend to my kampung and some time Melaka n never afraid been nail and rob...might be i always on short n t-shirt so ppl ll thk i m wearing a fake, u know some of S'porean forum fr SG-ROC think is unsafe to wear their rollie in JB during their weekend getaway and i told them i m wearing my submariner travel to n fold on weekend for the past 2 yr but nothing happend :thumbsup: touch wood!! :Laughing_on_floor:
Terrence, e hot pants here is really hot some time i wonder why dont just wear their panties out instead of somethg similar to it :Laughing_on_floor:
-
Nobody will give you a second look when wearing your rollie along the petaling st. I have seen people wearing all blings2 rollie / AP / FM and really mix into the crowds in a safe environment. Why? because the stalls nearby are selling the same stuff but of a different kind. :Laughing_on_floor:
On the other note, staying put in sg and take up root there is a good idea. (Maybe your wife is right) :thumbsup:

-
hmm the Sg ppl really scare of beem rob here in JB/malaysia...

Terrence, e hot pants here is really hot some time i wonder why dont just wear their panties out instead of somethg similar to it :Laughing_on_floor:
yeah bro! :Dancing_banana:
that's why taking public transport is so damn fun :Laughing_on_floor: wow wee the eye candy... :D i like it here not because of anything...infact i ahte the socialist government and elitist education system. but i love the short short skirts and pants...that the girls here wears :Laughing_on_floor:
roses are red, violets are blue,
the shorter the skirts,
the better the view
:Laughing_on_floor:
if you wear the same way back in malaysia...kena raped long time di :Blue:

you dun ahve to go far to get robbed.
my wife have a very bad scar on her ankle from a snatch thief incident behind starhill :Scolding:
my good friend's car was pinned with 4 motorcycles on each side during one night in a traffic light junction near jln universiti.
got her face cut from the glass shards after one of the rider smashed the window in atempting to grab her handbag.
when she made a police report... the police told her ..next time red lights middle of the night no need to stop. jsut step on it. if kena traffic cam ...jsut tell the judge u are alone in the car.
:Blue:

i use to stay in USJ, and seen dozen cases of snatch thieves near taipan area
then i moved to Sam Mansion, right behind the Chinese Assembly Hall. Tons of mainland pros staying upstairs. evening got pimps come and pick them up for work
incidentally Ah Niu and the wife use to stay above as well. u can see those chinese radio DJ always come over to visit him.
love the place and ironically it;s the most fun and safe place to live.
it;s not me who;s afraid to get robbed. i look like an ah beng with tattoos to begin with. it;s the women around me that i am scared of
another funny story.
i always take the overnight bus back to ipoh and would reach back in the wee hours of the morning. my grandma;s house is next to the wet market.
so i asked her if the food stalls in the market started their day yet?
she looked out of the window and said "oh! so dark, nothing is opened. nowadays no one dare to open their stalls until it gets brighter. there's a spate of robberies targeting those hawkers and joggers"
i did not think much about it.
so the next day, i went and pick up the wife cause she also took the overnight bus from SG to ipoh. it;s only 6am and still dark.
from a far i see an old uncle jogging but holding somehting in his hand. as i drive closer i see it;s a stick. further down the road.. it;s another uncle with another big stick in his hands.
:Laughing_on_floor:
maybe it's true after all. for all these retirees ...no muggers are going to scare them off their daily morning runs.
