[Berserk]

Nice. Whats the damage?

[psee]

Welcome aboard!

[Watcha]

Welcome to the mechanical love. Cheers.

Thanks everyone and Happy New Year!

We just got back this evening. Did some comparison on Rolex and other watches in Switzerland. Gotta say it's not cheap there compared to buying here. Same watch alone cost $1k more there than here, but it was an eye opener for both of us.

Had fun collecting the different Rolex spoons across Switzerland from Bucherer. Overall it was a good trip. The only watch i bought was a limited edition dress watch of 99 pcs from the top of Jungfrau. Something not too expensive and in the league of Rolex but it will be memorable for me although it is not a Rolex

Dude, nice to hear about your enjoyable trip. Do you mind posting some pics from your trip? thinking of bringing family for vacation during the year end holidays..

Sure. We been to 3 places, Italy, Switzerland and France. Since i just touch down last night, i have only managed to put in my 2nd memory card and will just put off some pictures from Switzerland since Italy's photo was in the 1st card and for France, not much pictures as did much shopping there.

Let me know if you want more pictures from specific places. Meanwhile will try and some some watch related pictures as well so it will not go off topic.

The scenary very nice....... Think all OC the same, bags cheaper there?

[jonchar]

Haha ok popular request, show you all family photos of all we bought there below in Milan and Paris:

Day 1:





Yes bags are much cheaper there. Example the Chanel 2.55 small handbag in the picture cost around $5.1k in SG but there is under $4k.

Day 2:


Too tired to take out everything from the dustbags and boxes, but there are more wallets, hairclips , many ties for me and belts.

Shopping galore for sure, but hurtful on wallet

[enthusiast]

Wah piang eh! I really salute both of you man...better dun show these to my wife, she'll definitely get those!
