JW watches

[feilong108]

Hehehehe....no lar...me just a typical uneducated lout...hehehehe....BTC as the hokkien phase goes...Hehehe...

I think to go to JW without buying is a uphill task as the prices and watches there are pretty attractive....and i love the Nomos there....which make things worse...nearly pull the trigger on the Nomos power reserve the last time i was there...but as usual , my sensible OC knocked my head and ask me to think properly and not be so easily seduced by the beauty( i meant the watch and not Mrs JW) ...hehehehehehehe

Bro Ocean,
Not exactly as it's still about JW Watches...my comments about her are nothing malicious or anything, more a fair compliment really.

Bro Ocean,
I just reread my first response and my tone didn't seem exactly friendly, sorry, my intention was laced in jest but forgot to add a smiley. But yeah, in hindsight, I think we're a tad off topic! : p

Bro Ivan,
Their straps are surely pricier than neighborhood shops carrying similar brands like Paros but JWs range seems to be more extensive. I suggest that you check out the mom-pop shops in your neighborhood first and if nothing tickles your fancy, head down to JW.

Hey guys...relax lar...hehehe..must be the HAZE that is making the forum so serious....hehehe....i m sure Bro Toffeesthings meant no harm de lar....just a causal remark nia...i oso find alot of ladies pretty mah....

[feilong108]

For straps i think JW carry quite a huge range....for me i prefer to custom make my straps...

Thanks Bro Feilong and yeah, hear hear, no harm intended!
I've also clarified my potentially miscontrue-able tone with Bro Ocean, it's amazing how a missing smiley or 'haha' can change the meaning of a message.

Anyway, we're back on course with the topic now moving on to straps! My verdict is that while JW's range is extensive, it's also a little expensive for average folk like me.

Thus, I was pleasantly suprised to find that Sinlian pawnshop carried a wide range of Paros and other brands at very attractive prices, $10-15. Also have those in 17mm that fit Boy-size Rolex at only $10.
I think I spent $35 on 3 straps or something.
One of them was a nice, thick buffalo-like strap that I quicky put on my IWC UTC that looks better with slightly thicker straps because of the watch case thickness!

Sin Lian carry straps too? wow...din know of that....must go and check it out liao...hehehe....see got swee swee straps anot....but Paros seem to wear out pretty fast as i used to buy the Paros straps from a watch shop in Marine Parade....last about 2 months plus then have to change liao....

Hence now my daily 'beaters' are all on OEM bracelets....

They do carry straps bro, can check them out if you want, they're in Bedok, around your East area. Sin Lian also carry this brand called La Vie, quite cheap.
Hmmm...I find that the Paros quality is decent enough and the wear & tear issue lies with the shop stocking them for too long, so after a while of wearing, it disintigrates.

Thanks for your kind explaination Bro Toffeesthings....will pop by next week for a lookie...hehehehe....great to know 1 more new place to source for straps...
