I call myself V.lucky still alive & kicking . Not a single time I caught for drink driving . Only much later after settling down wif baby coming along & one day,I sat by myself have a good thought.And decided i time to hand up the steering wheel. Than realized it wasn't that bad giving up our wheels & take public transport leh. Especially here in our Merlion city.End of the day,I get more saving $$$ to fund more watches & yet everyday can enjoy looking at many sexy chicks on my train ride LOL! Not bad at all "
    That's quite true...
    Driving a car would at least set u back about $1k a month. Insurance / road Tax / maintenance / installment...fines...etc.
    So if i saved for a year, surely can get DAYTONA HG !!!

        Very good. All watch and environment lovers should learn from you. I also like.....save money to buy watch and get free nice view everyday.
        Driving is fustrating and never got good view....all the time looking at other people's car.

          You deserved to be for not taking the offer. It is still a PVD what! But then again, your 2 PVD Pams also very hard to let go.
          EOD is the only AP that I really want to have, like a 201A, like a 5070, like a 6263, like a Dtograph.

            3. I own a car (wife drives it), drive like Hamilton but parks my car like a 70 yrs old lady. I don't know how to parallel park so if friends ask me to meet at geylang, joo chiat and those places with parallel parking spaces...I take public transport or cab.

            Don't know if pple look at me or not (vice versa) cos I'm most likely dozing off or reading a book.
            hahahha i do find most singaporeans can't parallel park. they would leave such a big space in between their cars and the next car. when jsut half a foot closer there's ample space for another car. i always tear my hair in frustration whenever i encounter such situation

            like you said, that's why i always have a good laugh whenever i have supper in geylang watching ppl trying to park their cars.

            on the other hand ..i am atrocious at reverse parking !!

            being a malaysian and having bigger parking spaces... we never have the need to reverse park. it always takes me a few turn of the steering wheel and nervous looks on all of the mirrors to get my car to reverse into the space.

            anyway i do agree ...giving up the car ..saves me a couple of hundred bucks more each month. after moving to central..a car is really not a necessity. i just rent one whenever there's a need.

            furthermore there are more cute girls in short, short skirts and pants to look at

              i do take mrt to cbd to go gym. no point driving cuz parking will kill me.
              so far nvr see any nice watches as i go during off peak times bt im sure it's a common sight nowadays as ppl who take public transport are not sm poor folks bt are the clever ones instead.

                once saw another commuter sitting next to me wearing a PVD-ed Anonimo.

                although i dunno much about the models but the case is unmistakable. wanted to ask him about it but was travelling with another friend and we were in a middle of a debate.

                looks cool.

                      Already calculated, no point owning a car for my case. I visit CBD often and the parking fee will be very high not mentioning "extra fees" needed to mantain the car. Park and ride seems to be a pretty viable solution but again... taking taxi will be cheaper.

                      Bus and train I will take most of the time but I can observe a decline in service. Slow bus, stuffy bus, yada yada yada. Just bear with it :P

                      I think only <90% of them will notice/care what you wear, etc. so I am not really bothered. Stare then stare lah.

                          So good to see so many bro out there taking public transport. The reason i give up driving and taking public transport is b'cos of this Ad and certainly to enjoy seeing what watch people r wearing on mrt and buses...



                          This Ad is the Ad i like most... Seriously, i use to drink & drive in the past. after watching this clip, i tell myself, Andy... Please don't... Cos, your wife, your sons, your family members & others. So, whenever i drink, i drink @ home or i take a public transport home and that's the reason why i sell away my car. Past, i drink, i drive, i speed... Now, i drink, i sit, i see... (see nice watch)

                              i suggest you give it a miss, i own one and the day date disc wheel was mis-aligned.

                              my friend owns one and the sweeping second hand had some issue.

                                EOD has been a target for me all these years. but somehow it seems odd on my wrist. it is all about opportunity cost.

                                my FM has banned me buying watches for 1 year because just bought a 3 room flat. anyway it is for the next generation future, targeting nearby schools.
