I also like no date as well..

Not a fan of DLC watches nor Hublot. But if you like it, you should get it.

Just put some money aside daily instead of spending on Starbucks/eating out/new clothes. Pretty soon you will have enough to buy that Hublot.

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.

That is a very good condition Rolex GMT. Looks stunning!

Chill bro. I am not making big bucks either but I do tend to cut out a lot of entertainment and vices. I even downgraded to a cheaper car so my monthly installments are lower.

Looks like the owner washed it in toilet water..

Yes. You are right. The car was on a 7 year lease so it was very taxing on the wallet. Switched to a much cheaper car and now I saved a lot of money.

A car is to get a person from point A to point B. How many times while on the road do you notice the driver of a nice car? You can't even see who is driving it as we usually tint our cars..

No point lah to continue paying a buttload of money for installments and also road tax on a luxury car when you can be perfectly happy with a cheap but reliable car.

Nice. But where are pictures of the Sub C? I found out that there is an acute shortage of Sub C Date the last time I was in Melbourne. Not sure if there is still a shortage now.

There is always the option of the 3573. All the look of the 3570 but with added Sapphire glass front and back with a better decorated movement and non Delrin brake.

I hope you don't mind me asking but where can I buy the box + accessories for the 3573? My hands itchy for the NATO strap that came in the box..

It looks good though. I like the seamless integration of the rubberb strap and the watch lugs. A lot of aftermarket rubber straps expose the lugs.

And they also lost half of their long serving staff recently.

I heard from them that Omega is slowly removing ADs in KL as they are going the boutique route..

It's too little too late for Ball. They didn't managed to capitalize on their strong market presence a few years ago and now they are flopping in a lot of countries.

They should shore up their resale value by not releasing refresher models every 6 months. But instead they went greedy and went for quantity over quality with a lot of very badly designed watches (date window too small etc.).

It's like they can't decide whether if they want to be sports oriented (Oris) or are they more dressy (Longines). This lack of identity really killed their brand among serious collectors.

Not now. But back in the early 2006-2009, Ball was a microbrand destined to be something big. Kinda like Nomos of its time.

Uhh.. yeah you can get a new box, additional rubber/leather strap and strap changing tool. But it will cost several thousand ringgit for a set of those. The certificate however may not be possible for Richmond to sell you a new one.

Also, PAM has a lot of 1:1 fakes out there. Make sure that you really trust your friend before buying it from him.

Hey guys. Should I get an AP ROO Volcano or Bumblebee? I feel like adding some color to my collection.

Will these watches age well? Spending around 100k, so just want to make sure that these watches will age well..

Safari is a bit bland. I would like some colour to my collection. Most of the stuff in my collection are black and grey. Thought it would be nice to have a funky yellow or orange.

But it will still be awhile before I pull the trigger as I only managed to save up 50k so far..

PP5119 a bit too delicate for my taste. 30m water resistance. Leather strap. Non hacking seconds.

I was looking at it before I pulled the trigger on a brand new Daytona 116503 with the 2016 redesigned Bezel. Felt that the Daytona with its 100m water resistance and steel/Gold bracelet is more suitable for Malaysian weather than the 5119.

Patek's thin delicate Leather strap will not survive more than 6 months in our hot and humid climate.

Picture of my Daytona.

Paid retail of RM61,990. Brand new release no discount though. I bought it before the ringgit plunge even further. The prices may have increased since then.

Double post.
