I've never liked the reverso until I tried on the 1931 tribute ultra thin.

But I am allergic to scratches and a reverso will get scratched even if you just look at it!

Not really, it is a scratch magnet as much as any other watch. But to be fair, I mostly wear it to work.

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.
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.

yeah initially thought about white dial, but something in me asked me to opt for the black dial instead haha.

Yep currently considering either Oris or Omega for my next watch, any recommendation?

Prefer something more sporty this time

Go for Omega. If you are considering the Speedmaster, the one to get is the Speedy Pro 42mm version, forget the rest of them (unless your budget is enough to get the Dark Side of The Moon).

80k is achievable in a couple of years.

I always have a Grail fund where I will place at minimum RM1,000-2,000 per month in it. That's how I managed to afford my Daytona and Sub C. Setting aside spare cash each month by not going to expensive places or indulge in expensive vices like smoking.

Dude, not everyone is making the big bucks like you. Some people barely make 50k a year and we're talking professional lines.

I do agree that saving up is a must but more as a safety net for rainy days. Anything left over can go to the watch/hobby fund.

I believe the latest one I saw was around 16k ish for the Pelagos.

Could be mistaken but it's still cheaper than a sub at today's pricing.

Pelagos is a great watch. Pure tool watch if that's what you're looking for. Cheaper than a sub of course, but really more comparable to the Sea Dweller.

Owned an ETA model, sold it and still think of it some times.
