i read somewhere that the display units glow with such brightness because they are under UV lights

true, tritium tubes are self-powered. but what contributes the really bright luminous effect of the display units is, IMO, the bezels. ball (the ones with bezel) use luminova on their bezels. under UV light, the bezels shine really bright, giving out that very nice lume effect.

btw, went to klcc today. since i was there, i checked out the latest price of omega PO. an omega PO with bracelet is now rm12.75k. old price was rm11.7k. despite the plunging euro n usd, local price still goes up. local ADs are the real cut-throats.

i went to cortina but there were no hot chicks! terence, u sure it was the cortina? but emotus sure have one really cute leng lui... got her card too.... again tried on a fortis marinemaster, the cute babe commented it was too big for my wrist. cute babe really knew her stuff

only if she can give me 50% discount

i think, if the watch is still under warranty, send it to local JLC outlet. if the warranty has expired, i think sifus here can recommend some reliable watchmakers. my boss sent his tag to a well-known service centre for a service, but a week later the watch went kaput

hehehe that sounds like a plan! anyway, there were a few rado originals. real retro beauty

the hour glass offer 0% installment for maybank credit card holders up to 12 months

not with maybank. with maybank cards, the installment request will be made by the shop, not the buyer. it has to be made when the transaction takes place.

unlike citibank, you can request for the purchase to be converted to an installment plan, but not sure whether it's a 0% plan.

aiseh... only own a maybank card

0% huh? how long?

here's roughly what a Sinn U1 would look like on my wrist.


taken from http://forums.watchuseek.com/showpost.php?...15&postcount=35 and that's a U1 on a 6.5" wrist. mine's 6" only

already tried the real thing. it was too big for my wrist. didn't snap a photo though

yeap. i've got a few names on my list. it'll be my goal, one at a time. if all goes well, i'll get one very soon.

i think, for a 6" wrist, the perfect size is 42mm diameter, 47mm lug-to-lug, 13mm thick. but this is my opinion.

my opinion, if you don't like oversize watches, then don't.

i was looking for a dive watch and i found Sinn U1. superior watch, excellent quality. but it was too big for my wrist. with oversize watches, it's either love it or hate it IMO.

wait, what do u mean class n professional? a dress watch suitable to wear to office n functions? or something that looks like a tool watch? or something that looks looks serious like military type? do you want a clean dial or a busy dial like chrono?

how about certina?

somehow, the only watch i could think of that is classy n professional at the same time is Omega SMP. or Omega PO. or Rolex Submariner
