Unboxing: the watch I have waited for a decade

[leonmike]

How come I don't have mine. I also finished my reservist but long time ago. SAF not fair... How to complain???

[Dfive]

They no longer give Hamilton? I also just MR this workyear, received my watch on 15Feb.. But warranty dated feb 2012. Tmd..

I think the Swiss Military is cheaper.... sign of the times perhaps. ?

Got mine 3years ago. Battery died after 1 year. I wonder how long the unit admin has stored it before giving it out

I think by putting the unit logo and the NS man nric on the back really spoilt the value of the watch.

Exactly.I dont mind my name on the back. But unit logo on the dial??? That's crap.

And seriously, I would rather they give an automatic/manual watch instead of a stupid quartz

Those days of issuing auto's is long gone perhaps.
Even the US military issues cheaper Marathons Quartz these days.

Saw one SAF hamilton at a cash converter for cheap. Dwelled on it, but dint buy.
Wonder if if its still there.

Did they sand off the rank, name, ic number on the caseback?
Btw how much is cheap

I sweat I marched I ran I jumped I swim, yet I get nothing except my #4 + alibaba bag... Guess this is the real definition of sacrifice of the best 2.5yrs + 6 years of my life. No regrets.

Anyway, rolex with Oman or UAE logos are selling at crazy price, Comex or even some vintage military watches cost more than the GDP of a small nation. Who knows in future if these SAF ROD watches may sell at good px too?
little opportunity cost and nothing much to lose...

Just know that you suffer so that our Foreign Talents can enjoy the peace and tranquility of working in Singapore.
