To all my bros in MWF

Thanks so much for the wishes  :Cheers:

I have to admit now its my turn to smile constantly hahah  :Laughing_on_floor:

Siodee: I have to admit that dc helped me on this, if he does not know the Mr Lam person mungkin tak dapat already. I see you funding so many grails at once  :P but no worries mate, all will get one with some time

Zitan: I am waiting for good news on your part

Compaq10: My thoughts exactly hahah, my fiance asked the uncle if the cyclops was for older people who cannot see well :Laughing_on_floor: I think Mr Lam also surprised with that question

Landyshah: Simple and clean, exactly!

Got the 14060m cause i too am lazy to turn the date part  :Laughing_on_floor:

BUTI was there on Sunday

When I went to see the watch, he only displayed my 3 choices 14060m, Sub-C and GMT coke!

Long and hard I think, the few times i went there no 14060m but the moment it was there among the rest, I just had to have it compared to the rest.

However he did me a service, said it looks nice on my fiance wrist too  ;D so maybe got chance to get another one  :Laughing_on_floor: She already thinking about it so means, I can save and get another one....hulk without much problem I hope  :Praying:

I saw the cabinet with pepsi GMT, Sub Red and my birthday year Sub as well...beautiful...since I change my flight to leave on Sunday now due to unfinish business I might drop by on Sat to intro my brother to the place so he knows where to find his  :Cheers:

I think the bug has bitten fairly hard this time

I think you have to own a Rolex, before you can learn to appreciate the Rolex from the detail craftmanship, the quality to the movement and ticking of the watch.

A watch is like a car - you can pay 120k for a Honda and you can also pay 300k for a BMW. But you need to drive the car everyday before you learn to appreciate the car.

The choice is yours, make sure what you pay is worth every moment you enjoy the product; before the law of diminishing of returns kicks in :)

Thanks to all the compliments. As a watch lover, I just did my part to make life easier for the would be buyer/s esp from our forum.

Ballaviator and I was there last sunday and if you asked him, he is one happy guy to molest so many watches in one afternoon.

However he did me a service

ewww.  :laugh:


Back on topic - after wearing a rolex for 6 months, I observe that men have a greater propensity to go gaga over (my) Rolex; certainly not the demography I'm after. Don't these people know how rude it is to stare???


Pros: Wearing a Rolex gets you the attention.
Cons: Just not women's attention. :-[

So, in the nutshell, the finer things in life does not have to be the most expensive or exotic item or place one could have.

Personally, the less attention I get the better heh

Anyway, most women cant tell the difference from a Swatch or a Rollie, so its a meaningless exercise  ;D

My 2 sen: If their partner is a WIS, then likely. If they are on this forum, of course. If the brand is expensive, then quite possible (mostly limited to Rolex and Omega).

Apart from that, in my experience, most dont care as long as its Swiss made, looks good and tells time without fuss. This might apply to men also  ::)

Correct me if I am wrong but I heard from a friend that Rolex watches are the only watches that you can change the date irregardless of the hour hand position.
Any truth to this?
As I recall, it's better not to change date when the dour hand is at certain time of the day as the date change mechanism is already engaged so if any adjustments made during the time will "hurt" the movement.

On the contrary, people are drawn to the watch precisely because I'm the most selekeh Malay in Sarawak. They usually have a "how can this coolie afford that watch" look on their face.
