Poison galore from Genta's creations.

Had our usual ADs visits and tried on the buttery smooth JLC MC Ultra Thin and also to try on the sizes of the Reversos. Still deciding whether to get one as a dress watch.

But after trying on the 3228, I am hooked. Will go down the preowned shop near my place in the afternoon to check out if the 3228 that I saw the previous week on the display is still around.

I hate this feeling......... :laugh:

Hi, Manburg,

That's an interesting combo!!! From your earlier posts, I find you often wear your Sub on a Nato (and presently on Kevlar, I believe). You don't enjoy the rattling SS Oyster bracelet?

After seeing yours, I just can't resist wearing mine today.......





Have a great week ahead...

Thanks mate! :thumbsup: That strap is not kevlar, but made of composite leather material for the inner layer and nylon on the outer, and it's water-proof (or resistant, I couldn't recall). The manufacturer calls it Nytech.

Yes, I wear mine on NATO from the day the Sub was first purchased. It's not that I don't enjoy the SS bracelet, but I was just a Connery wannabe  ;D

Terrence, that 3228 looks really made for your wrist.  :thumbsup:
I myself prefer the 3227... missed quite a number of deals liao... but it'll come...
As for the Nautilus... well, it's not something that I can afford at the moment, and if you can... why not?  ;D

I am not impressed with the Master Control at all.......... Infact I am EXTREMELY impressed by it!!!!

The winding is buttery smooth and the hands just freeze instantly without any wiggle when the crown is pulled. Signs of very tight tolerences and quality. The watch just oozes class  :thumbsup:

Beautiful watch bro  :thumbsup:

Unfortunately no bro. Did see the AMG version in another shop a while ago. Have u tried on the 3227? I personally prefer this because of the size and height.

Can't sleep after I tried on Sshark's 3228 yesterday. Surprisingly the non micro adjustment bracelet fits my wrist like a glove with the clasp dead centre.

He was nice enough to let me wear it the whole day. Guess the poison just seeped through the pores of my wrist.

Although it's heavy, but the integrated bracelet, just clamps on the wrist nicely. Will test it out later in the evening when I go for a jog and gym.

It looked like the half link are together on one side. It will Look balance if you move 1 of the half link to the other side. Or I have mistaken the way I interpreted the photo.

I just loaned you for half day, rental + GST will be imposed for full day :)

Actually, it was my insidious plan to recruit Terence into Ing :)

thanks Terence.

one does appreciate it much better when you feel it and play with it.

agree, looking at the picture alone doesn't impress...its hardly catches any attention. and its also why i love it. so so understated

Here's with the half links on each side of the clasp. Think it looks better formerly

finally figured why it looks odd formerly. the half link was inverted. so now, i flipped the half link around and now it's more balanced.

Before


Halflink switched


After: half link flipped. Now it looks better and the claps is still centred.
