Very nice... very tempting, I won't lie. Reasonable discount?

It's the usual discount rate from AD I guess. Slightly lesser from what you got for my 1861 last time. smile.gif

Not sure how true about the video from BW, but I told my buddy to grab it while the discount is still reasonable.

Now we’ve got Paul Newman speedy and omega hulk.

Suffice to say the sm green looks really nice…

I'm quite fond with the green SMP as well.

Without the red Seamaster on dial and tip of sec hand, it just look so much cleaner.

Does anyone have any comments about nomad watch straps? Thinking of getting 2, the croc butterfly clasp one and the horween leather

Personally I have their horween straps on my PAM, pretty comfortable and reasonably priced.

Yeah I want to the GS in sunway. Can get 10-15% off. But there is no stock for the SBGY007 Omiwatari - apparently wait times are 2-3 months with a 30% deposit required. Hard to believe it's come to the state where even GS needs wait times. Got a little fed up as I was told previously by them that I could get it in 1-2 weeks' time.

This kind of swayed me a bit to look at the Cartier Santos medium or large automatic. I see it's in stock on the website. Does anyone know if Cartier offers any discount in store? Thanks.

AD giving discount for certain model.

Curious question for everyone here: Has anybody moved away from smartwatches and gone back to mechanical watches? Why did you do it and how was your experience like with that transition? Are you still tracking your fitness and how?
I've bought my first mechanical watch, a Montblanc Timewalker Chronograph UTC, when I hit a life milestone back in 2014 or so. Loved it to bits. And then I got bit by the Apple Watch bug. I bought Gen 2, and then upgraded to Gen 4 and have been using that ever since, while my mechanical watch just sat in its box untouched.

Now I feel like I'm just tired with the Apple Watch. Realized I don't use much of the smart features except for fitness tracking when I'm working out. And I'm kinda tired staying hyperconnected with all the notifications etc. I have my phone for that and I seriously need to reduce the "digital noise" around me. Maybe it's also because I'm in IT and I'm a huuge tech nerd who's constantly dealing with tech, and now I really feel a need to draw a line somewhere. I suddenly feel "too much tech" is a thing now. Or maybe it's just me aging LOL.

So, for the past 2 weeks, I did an experiment. I took out my old mechanical from its box, wound it up and wore it around daily to see whether I can get used to it again. Now I'm back in love. Things are waaaaay more peaceful, I don't feel a need to be super reactive to digital noise, and the feeling that there's something alive on my wrist ticking away is really something that a smartwatch cannot replace. I loved it so much so that I'm now looking to add one more mechanical soon.

As for the Apple Watch, I'm still using it when I'm working out and when I'm sleeping (for sleep tracking). Although I'm thinking of getting something that is less obtrusive for fitness tracking, so that I can wear together with my mechanical without looking weird  blink.gif

So back to my question above - wondering if anybody has had any similar experiences. Aaand if you have any suggestions for "minimalist"/less obtrusive fitness tracking alternatives too smile.gif

I did an experiemnet earlier this year by wearing my Apple Watch daily for 2 months straight and then return to wearing my mechanical watches.

The only thing I missed about wearing Apple Watch was the movement goal thingy that remind me to stand up and walk around every hour. Other than that, I don't bond with it that much.

Now I only wear it when I work out and occassionally when I lazy to wind my mechanical watch.
