got calfskin zulu or not ?

Watch of the day

looks nice!

Working on that, but probably will bring in NATO leather first. Zulu still sourcing quality ones

Thanks

if its going to be 2mm also, the nato leather gonna be quite thick under caseback.
i got one which i actually cut off the bottom piece so essentially becomes a zulu.

Yeah, I had a sample given previously and the leather was very thick, couldn't even flip it back to the buckle.

So sourcing better ones

Usually leather nato around 1.5 - 1.8mm thick... but only problem then is it becomes too floppy.

hi there, any recommended budget watch shops around pj, damansara and puchong? looking for a decent watch for work.. budget around 100.. can get casio brand for that price huh?

For 100, get the legendary Casio F-91... buy online from Lazada, it'll cost less than 50 if i remember correctly

thx bro .. surprisingly got few casio models below 100 buck.. managed to find one to suit me..

THG officiated their Gardens boutique last night. Went to kepo and tried out the 41mm OP. A bit big, but I think can easily be dressed down, or up. I think 39mm would be perfect.

Got an used 'younger sibling' of prince william's watch

Just replaced my strap yesterday. From random uncle shop. I think it is synthetic leather.
Anyways, it looks way better than my old perlon.

That's the DJ2? On the fence with the fluted bezel...has the quintessential Rolex look but a little blingy for daily wear? Not a problem for ladies watches that's for sure.

thats interesting.
looks like the cyclops magnifying power has been getting lower...

I think the cyclops thing is a QC problem, some of them have ridiculously low mag and from what I read before that rolexforums is that you can bring back to SC and they'll change it for you.

Some of Rolex's rehaut engraving isn't straight at 12'oclock (senget), another QC thing

Yes, Rolex have been struggling with mag quality issues for some 2 years now iirc. That said, the mag on that DJ2 looks okay to me. And honestly, doesn't actually look too blingy. Maybe with that beautiful sunburst dial, it would get more attention...

actually those still look quite low.
then again, the higher ones i think are vintage.
and at current magnification, really isnt any different from fakes now right?

Old vs new is understandable as the old rollies are really work watches and people actually dive with them (akhem, x macam desk-diver kita skrang)

The problem is now that since Rolex knows about this problem and yet provides free service to change them, why won't they remove them from ADs before selling them?

The first sub tt from the picture i posted look just like an awful fake lol
