Watches I saw Ppl wear today! Gossip Thread!

[Oceanklassik]

wah so many discussions on rich, I say Im not rich cos my income not very high, and Im using my savings to buy watches, for ppl who are relli rich is simply their income so high that they are using their monthly income to buy watches or other luxury stuff without the need to touch their savings???

Then I will say your term of 'rich' is inappropriate/incorrect. It doesn't matter if it is your savings or monthly pay that you are using to buy watches. The point is, it is your money that you are using to buy watches, right? And mind you, it is "to buy WATCHES", not to buy rice, medicine, etc (basic necessities). Then again, it also depends who/how you are comparing with. If you are comparing your wealth with a tycoon/millionaire/billionaire, then you are not wrong.. . But generally, you are still considered rich..

Just like how I often see people titling their threads as "humble collection", "humble watches", etc-etc. And when you open those threads and see the watch collection they have, that they termed "humble", you will drop from your chair !

Finer Things in Life

People here in Singapore are in general more interested in watches and wearing them. This is a good sign. If you look at the top 10 swiss watch world import market, Singapore is in the Top 10 and HK is No. 1! That is why when you go to HK, you see watch shops all over. Panerai for example has 2 boutiques there with 1 just opened at Canton Road. Even the customs officer at the airport are wearing Rolex Submariners. When you go to the Central area during lunch time, it is watches galore! On the contrary in Australia for example, watches like Tissot, Citizen, Longines and Tags are considered as value for money. A rolex watch is considered very luxurious. Really different culture.

I don't think it is just about getting affluent. Singapore has been affluent for a number of years. It is a greater sense of appreciation for the finer things in life in the form of horology. I look forward to a more vibrant luxury watch culture in Singapore!

... Saw 2 interesting new watches today (both on friends' wrists) ...

(a) A few days old Blancpain FF (Awesome watch! Love the sapphire bezel!); and
(b) A new Rolex green Sub-Date (with the green dial and ceramic bezel ... certainly looks good with the thicker lugs and improved clasp)

Ok today was at Grand Shanghai to have dinner, someone was giving us a treat so went there today. I passed by a young chap at another table wearing a green Polo tee with strips across (Horizontal strips) wearing a Roo Black Themes, or was it a Hublot...hahaha but Im pretty sure its a Roo black themes though. He was swinging his arm la, putting his hand on his table trying to show off his ROO! hahahahaha

Ok Im wondering if this guy is in this forum???? hehehehe own up! own up!!!!

The most ridiculous combination I ever saw was a friend's friend wearing a Daytona white gold with the most faded & crumbled shirt & berms! When I asked him about his watch, he told me it's his daily wear & he doesnt care if a rock hits it. BTW, he wears that Daytona on business trip to Vietnam & Cambodia!

[tsetse]

Wah daywalker now have quite a few watches I would like to molest! wahahahahahahaha!!!!!
