The higher mag also looks better with the older font type. Don't think it would today, imo.

Wing Wah's prices have been inflated a lot lah. I stopped bothering to swing by when they quoted my gf RM80 for a battery change LOL. I thought about changing from zero to 590, but will see how that goes... PAM market prices have indeed taken a hit, so from one low to another laugh.gif

Earlier today, still with the LLD. Really liking the isofrane; super comfy. But, where's the vanilla scent everyone is raving about??

between this 2, will go for B&M, the clifton collection will still be there in the future but for MB this design might discontinue anytime ....
*
reason i m looking at MB lately is the development that the brand has improved. Well, some will say, is a rip-off of JLC.
MB has also extended the 500 hours movt test on selected models.

anyway, will put on both on wrist soon. i afraid B&M at 43mm is tad large for a dress watch.

Would u really need a pepertual calender (i presumed) moonphase? It would be pain to reset it if u don't have a winder.
*
It is just annual calendar. not perpetual.
service also will cost more due to complication.

sad.gif Can you recommend any similiar model?

FC moonphase is another alternative if you are not against the brand. If you hv higher budget, look at Mont Blanc Heritage series too.

TT GMT is one of the most underrated watches in the GMT line-up. Everose is arguably nicer than YG, but then YG was the only option for many years, before finally getting discontinued.

at least, in TT you dont hv to be in forever waiting-list and you probably pay RRP.
