another diver.....


i find this rather pleasing....... with a stout and massive case and that chunk of a bezel, it gives the owner confidence to dive into the deep seas and oceans..... along with the watch of course...

note the creative manner in which the crown is protected ....... firstly at the 4 o'clock position and then also counter-sunk into the case...... although the date window is a little bit small, i think it is still highly legible even at the odd position of between 1 and 2 o'clock .....

to make a good dive watch better, it comes with a pair of beautiful hour and minute hands....... i very much like the shape and size of these hands.... well adorned with superluminova, the hour markers and hands make reading the time easy even at diving depths......

although very useful, the power reserve indicator looks kinda out-of-place....... UP and WIND dont exactly sound suitable and pretty on a dial...... let alone a watch of this quality.........

what are you waiting for...???

now that oil prices have retreated... why arent the oil companies doing the same to petrol prices.....??????

given their swift action to raise retail prices when oil/wholesale prices move up, it's not too much to ask for a consistent action to match reduced prices right....???

can the government do something against these BIG OIL COMPANIES...... ??????

this is too much..... really too much!!!

oh dear ... where is mas selamat kastari..????

well..... is he still in singapore? no one seems to know......

the police/army are looking for him high and low..... hours, days and weeks have gone by and well nothing, he seems to have disappeared into thin air....

so many ppl have been affected...... businesses suffering..... transport workers crying for help......

when will the authorities abandon the search operation......???

can we offer him a reward to come out..??? hehe.....

not a joke..???


i am surprised to read this.....

a "kind" person suggested the authorities implement a minimum of 12 strokes of the cane for dangerous driving.......

well i dun condone what this hit-and-run driver has done........ driving under suspension, driving under the influence of alcohol, failure to render assistance to the victim and so on...... but he is going to jail for not a insignificant period of time........ and going to jail is no joke......

does the punishment fit the crime? i do not know..... but i dun think caning him 12 times on the butt is of any help........ and where does it end? a life for a life?????

what do you think? ........ i leave it to you to think of a colourful adjective......

the classic


although i have never seen one, i have heard of it a zillion times........ haha maybe not to that extent but doxa is indeed very well known and popular (probably overseas)....

i cant think of any other word to describe the doxa sub..... only classic comes to mind..... the case is classic ..... and so is the bracelet..... it looks so much alike to any other doxa sub....

if u like classic..... u probably will like this......

it's also available with a yellow dial, orange dial and blue dial...... yours to choose

SHOCKKKKKssss

one cant just admire expensive watches........ very often there are interesting and yet affordable watches that i miss...... like CASIO G-SHOCK WATCHES...!!

this one is not bad..... it looks extremely rugged and complicated...... in fact i am overwhelmed by the number of functions available..... is there an altitude sensor..??? what about solar power..??? but then, who cares so long it looks pretty.......

on the other hand, this g-shock is downright simple and also has the retroooooo feel......... i find the 3 red characters to be very soothing......

more similarity.....


if you like the look of the blancpain fifty fathoms but not its price, why not consider the RGM....... looks pretty close to me..... haha...... especially the strap and bezel...... not identical of cos but quite similar.....

similar...???

unfortunately this gucci watch looks too similar to one seiko 5 watch...............not only the case shape, bracelet but also the bezel...........

tiring wednesday

an entire day of meeting........ nearly wore me out and i am almost drained of all my strength and energy...... unfortunately humans dun quite work like rechargeable batteries so i probably more time to overcome this feeling..... a simple recharge may not do the trick.....

at the very least, can look forward to friday, which is a public holiday....... one more working day to endure.....

Monday 17 March 2008

rough days......

so liverpool beat reading..... torres scored again..... the goal by mascherano was extremely satisfying .....

and guess what, everton lost.... at such a crucial point in the race for fourth......

----------------------------------------------------------------

disappointingly both scarlet cars did not finish the race....... which is quite amazing cos i thought the ferraris were supposed to be reliable this time round....... well lewis hamilton started from pole and won .....urgh.... :)

let's see what happens at sepang.....

Wednesday 12 March 2008

plain and simple.....


i not too keen on dress watches..... cos they are usually too plain and too simple (in look)..... like this chopard luc.....
just fails to excite me in any way...... how about you?

Friday 7 March 2008

it's friday again....

congratulations....! it's friday and the weekend is here again..... :)

wanted to send the car for a service this afternoon .... but the workshop was unable to accomodate my walk-in request...... i saidi would be back on monday but i was thinking of alternatives..........

i could wait till monday...... or i could go to stamford on saturday......

going back to the agent means that they can replace my fuel filter and also check the valve clearance....... seems like independent workshops seldom ever handle requests to service these items.....

well let me think about it...

good deal CANON


ohh btw, if you are getting a camera, look at this...... quite a GOOD DEAL at the IT SHOW ....

for S$599, you not only get a camera ..... there are also a photo printer, 2 x 2 GB SD cards, an accessories kit plus food vouchers worth S$100 from swensen's...........

not bad at all.....

holy smokeeeee.... :0


ha i thought the miroir belt was nice.... well on its own, it is indeed very nice....

but that was before i saw the LV initials damier azur belt..... now i prefer this....

on previous occasions, i mentioned that in the world of damier, the azur print is not widely available across the range..... so i am quite surprised to see this being launched.....

should be sold out very quickly....... call your favourite LV sales associate to BOOK one.......... NOW.... :)

belt up.......


yes belt up!!!! and i dun mean the seat belt........... but rather the humble waist belt......

belts come in all shapes, colours and sizes..... not often that i come across a really NICE looking belt in white, so when i saw this..... hmmmm it looks pretty good.... :)

if you like LV..... if you like monogram and you like white, get THIS....

day dream: panerai


the more i look at this, the more i like it.......especially the 1950 case, which i find more attractive than the standard luminor case..... not to forget that dome crystal and BIGGER crown protector of cos.... :)

to be honest, i like the look of a chronograph watch but i hardly ever use it...... what's more a rattrapante (split-seconds chronograph)......

although i am not sure of the pricing, it doesnt look and come cheap but no harm thinking about it........ always good to daydream huh......

puzzled......

my prayers go out to those who lost their lives on the roads...... or along the roads.....

what's wrong with these people....?????? and now there was a taxi that mounted a kerb and slammed into an innocent person ........ how fast was this guy driving...??? east coast road is pretty straight..... how could anyone veer off the road and hit the kerb while going straight...???

come on, they shd stay at home if they cannot drive...... or are incompetent drivers.......

pls dun go out and put everyone at risk...... the world is dangerous enough nowadays.....

i have no idea how the courts would sentence this taxi driver...... does he deserve to go to jail..??? hmmmmm

getting BIGGER....... why ORIS??


wowowowo........... this one is 49 mm..... in diameter..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! can u believe this??? this is HUGE.... for a wristwatch hehe....... strictly for the XL and XXL (and above of cos) crowds...

i like big watches but this is not only BIG..... nonetheless i would like to see it as soon as possible..... haha i am curious after all.....

find me a parking lot...???


if you are a rider you will understand how "POOR" they are when it comes to parking lots...... there are just not ENOUGH of parking areas for motorcycles..... look at the many carparks.... can u count the number of car parking lots..... and can u count the number of lots for motorcycles????????

many many buildings do not provide parking facilities for motorcycles..... i have no idea why.... why is there discrimination....... this shd be outlawed!!!!!!! i suggest we make it mandatory.... if you operate a carpark for vehicles, then you MUST provide motorcycle parking..... period

imagine.... can you have male toilets and no female toilets...???? OR vice versa??? of cos not!!!! similarly why discriminate against bikers....... provide sufficient parking lots and then severe action shd be taken against those that persist in parking on pavements.....

simple or complex.... ?

why are there issues with the smoking ban in many public places...??? are the smokers irresponsible or are the non-smokers expecting too much.... ????

slowly but surely the smokers are being squeezed out......... haha....

well instead of gradually increasing and extending the reach of NON-SMOKING AREAS..... why not just tell the smokers where can they smoke.... simple and straightforward huh......

it's getting too confusing........... just tell the smokers: You can smoke only at home and nowhere else..... haha..... well dun laugh, sooner or later it may just happen.......

prices goes up and up......

now that rolex has raised prices in USA and UK.... when will it be our turn here in singapore?

well the last round of price adjustment here happened on 1st July 07........ and i hope that prices will stay for at least 2008.....
------------------------------------------------------

today is 3rd of march .... and in a few more days. the 08 f1 season will kick off officially in AUSTRALIA...... 16th march to be exact..... wow time really flies......... keep your fingers crossed and very likely the result of race 1 can give us an indication of who are the championship hopefuls.....

i will be rooting for the scarlet cars...... and hope that felipe massa can get his chance to fight for the championship.......

------------------------------------------------------

when can we have a rubber strap for richard mille rm005 watches.... ??????? it's been too long too long....... we need an alternative .... please...
now that they have one for the rm012/10 sizes, we really need one for the rm005..........

it's time to do something.....

maybe it's time for the authorities to do something..... they shd make it a serious offence for drivers and passengers who refuse/omit to belt up...... so serious that drivers will get their licence suspended for at least A WEEK!!

that will wake everyone up.... and save lives .... many lives......

and yeah btw, where is mas selamat kastari ...??? is he still in singapore..????
