"Whipped cream...!"

confused dial....

wah....... the moment i saw the dial i felt giddy.......

and for your own safety e.g. while driving or working, it's better to stay away from this one.....

too messy too complicated and too confusing...........

if u can look past that dial, u may also notice the very unique lugs on this watch.... which i think is a nice touch of antiquity.... quite apt for this museum timepiece.....

hmmm but ultimately i cant find anything adoring ...

not the same stroke....

when the omega boutique at ion orchard had its opening, they invited zhang ziyi to grace the occasion......

when cortina watch held its official opening, they had "only" zoe tay to cut the ribbon......

not quite the same stroke huh hehe....

when is too much really too much..??

with the opening of new shopping malls come the following of new watch retail stores and boutiques.....

and after soaking in the euphoria of the "newness" of these well-lit but otherwise mostly soul-less places, have we observed the over-supply of watch retail outlets???...... is there a point of saturation? or can the locals and tourists support even more...??? i have no answers to that....

and what happens to the "older" malls.... and their watch retail outlets........??? fold or continue ...??

for example, on a usual retail weekend the omega boutique at raffles city shopping centre (which is operated by sincere) is hardly the busiest place ...... so will the omega boutique at ion orchard fare any better when the "newness" is gone..???

or have you seen the number of visitors and customers at the blancpain and breguet boutiques at raffles hotel arcade..???? i wouldnt describe the situation as miserable but if you are there, just take a look for yourself......

in the long run, i'll be very interested to see how spanking new mono-brand boutiques at ion orchard will do......

back to basics omega

many years ago i was a big omega fan...... and my dream watch back then was the omega speedmaster chronograph watch.... 

in time i outgrew my liking for omega and became more of a rolex fan.............. even though that hurt my pockets even more.....

from the look of this new release, i think omega may have a winner on their hands...... right in the thick of the action where BIG and CHUNKY dive watches have become the rage, omega have given their new model the winning touches....

one knock on a person's head with the watch will be enough to cause serious injury...... so i think this one may even save you from the sharks...... just bash its head and perhaps it will swim away in double-quick time........

as always, going back in time to honour history could bring success...... as omega did

tacky.....

instead of trying to make their designs more appealing, someone decided to make a u-turn....

in the drive to make more eye-catching watches, they have made a move to embrace tackiness.....

TACKY!!

matching a white dial with a bright red bezel is OUCH.......

eeekks.!

surely i have seen such a colour combination at night markets ..... those that specialised in fake watches....

pls buck up....

will this sell?

limited to 7969 pieces, this is another LE for the omega speedmaster.......

i wonder will this sell in good numbers? 

maybe unlikely........ especially now

legend speedmaster omega

this may look like an advertising board but in fact, it's a watch..........

instead of a graduated bezel, one gets a non-functional roll-of-honour ........one that lists michael schumacher's lifetime achievements in formula 1.......




besides that, it's quite a pretty watch..... an omega speedmaster nonetheless........

if u care to examine, the first 7 hour markers are arabic numerals while the rest are sticks....... why 7? well, michael is a 7 times formula 1 world champion........ simple huh.....

done in carbon fibre, the dial also sports a pair of skeleton hands..... which is a nice touch i feel..... however, i am not so keen on the rubber strap............ it looks out of place......

omega - aqua terra

omega makes good watches ...no doubt about it...... their iconic watches are of cos the speedmaster professional and seamaster (endorsed by 007)......

and the latest aqua terra watches is not only good but better....... finally the bracelet links are put together with screws! hurrayyyy !!!!!!!!! for i hate friction pins....... absolutely.....!

not only is the dial beautiful.... but also the hour markers and hands....... the bracelet design, while abit similar to the rolex oyster bracelet, suits the aqua terra very well....

some may find this too similar to the rolex explorer ..... and i am one who think likewise...... however, the explorer sells for a much higher price...... and value conscious customers may just pick the omega.....

good news for BD....and saturday jalan jalan

was at audio house this evening.......the samsung BD-P1000 is now selling at S$799....

also saw a sharp BD player......hope to see more choices soon and looking forward to the hifi show in mid nov....

at 799, the samsung player is quite close to the price of a sony ps3....

prior to that, visited the omega speedmaster 50th anniversary exhibition held at ngee ann city civic plaza...........shd be interesting for omega speedie fans but i found it ok only........there were many speedmaster watches displayed, from the 50s, 60s and so on......

heard the ym2 is in town so went over to paragon.... saw both the YG and WG yachtmaster 2 at dickson......did not manage to see the price tags though......they also have blue wave dial DD, which is nice....

the milgauss is already in HK........so it in SG yet...??.....so far no news le
