I must say I agree with yonggoh here. Look at this way, the 111 /112 are the base model. Classic Luminors. But its not a in house movement. 15k for a manual wind watch....errrr...if it tickles your fancy, go for it. If you really insist on either both, I'll take the 111 as I find it weird without the seconds hand...as you wont know wheter the watch is ticking or not. Lol

But the flip side of buying these base models is that you can flog it off later without losing much. And yes the straps makes the watch looks different ....its like wearing a different watch each time you change straps which PAM is famous for. Nothing else comes close to PAM on that aspect. As for price, few months ago I was offered a 111 for 15,200 N series (when USD was not so crazy that time). The 112 is slightly cheaper..ooooo..dang I just saw..112 now cost 15k plus. RRP prices for 112 is 17,900 and 111 should be 19,500 thereabouts. You probably can get about 10% off from the ADs. Nego kau-kau lor

By the way, have you considered ROLEX?. The SubC is a very nice watch

A dark brown croc strap will look very nice. By the way, just wondering how much you got the strap for? OEM Oris..or 3rd Party.

Sure or not....the SubC is never meant for unker le. You go Singapore /Hong Kong you will see most wearers are young execs. In fact the 312 and SubC price is not that far apart

If I am in your shoes, I'll take the SubC anyday (YOU WILL NEVER GO WRONG WITH A SUBMARINER!!!)

Ahah..me no PAM nor Rolex...but my next watch is the Portuguese 7 Days. Royal Oak not my cup of tea..... Same goes for the Nautilus. I rather buy a ALS and save some money . But I wont mind a Calatrava

My vote goes to the IWC Portuguese Crono or You can get a mint Portuguese 7 days for silightly more thereabouts

I was thinking the same..till the last line "on leather straps!!!!

GS are great watches... only in WIS community. No lume and lack of presence makes it hard to stand out.

Hahah...thats the normal reaction. Its like will you buy a 200k Proton? Difficult to accept ler.

But once you have seen a GS, then 10k is actually relatively cheap. The finishing and spring drive movement is simply jaw dropping.

But then again..ah pek will go "Har..nice seiko how many hundred u buy..?"

really, some leather are made for diving.

Really.. I thought its rubber But they are expensive as hell..bought my Omega PO OEM rubber strap with deployment for 1.5k

Agreed on the bracelets. Somehow...they just lack the final bit of class when compared with IWC or Rolex (new ones) OlderRollies bracelets kinda sucks

Yup.overall its was a great design until Omega decided to stick the 007 numeral in the dial. Form hero to zero straight away!!!

Bingo...I absolutely despise that dial....

Anyway...Omega is milking this Bond thingy...Bond SMP..Bond PO but aktuali the Bond's newest watch is the Aqua Terra.

Aktuali..if I am not mistaken the spring drive is also semi quartz..something about useing electric impluses. But the movement is so sweet...just sweep only no tick tick tick..

Nope..thats not normal. As a comparison COSC requirement are like -2s to plus 8 sec a day (IIANM)

If anything is above 1 minute..its time to bring it to a watch maker and have it checked out

Google is your friend....isnt it??? lol

You can probably buy a Ferari with that watch...
