for the SAS....


i wasnt sure about this..... and i didnt know whether to laugh or cry..... but no matter what it is still a thousand times better than the graham ali baba jewelled edition.... maybe i should go down to cortina to catch a glimpse of this....

buy it only if u like the SAS, which stands for special air service...... the most famous of all special forces

welcome back.....!!



it surely must feel good to be back .....

so it's also my pleasure to say welcome back felipe..!!

and next year will be so tough with fernando alonso right beside him..... but looked at how he handled the pressure of racing alongside kimi raikkonen...... he's now true-blue multiple race winner himself....

notice the watch on his wrist? i wonder if this is the same richard mille rm011 he wore when he crashed at hungaroring.... if yes, isnt that a tough little beast of a watch as well haha....

the lucky 10.....



oh gosh....... it's another LE edition but ...... this time there's abit of difference in the execution cos hey hey there are only 10 pieces..!!!

i am quite sure at press time, all 10 are already accounted for...... so the rest of us can only admire the picture..... or go for the regular edition.......

indeed over the years there have been many LE for the rm011...... of course there are some winners, in particular the singapore gp edition and the chronopassion black edition etc

in comparison with the rest, the le mans edition looks abit muted ....... and so the regular edition remains the best bet at the most reasonable price.....

arriving very soon......



the world has become much much smaller and very much more connected now that the internet is a part of our lives...... and so we know the JLC NSA is already at dealers in the USA and europe.....

very soon it will be coming to singapore.......... and if you like alarm watches, you probably should not miss your watch to get this....

although it's limited to 1500 pcs, there should be sufficient numbers to meet the worldwide demand......

well from past experience, JLC limited edition watches are not exactly the most sought-after timepieces .... unlike examples like AP offshore limited pieces......

making inROADs....



between orchard road and queen's road...... i think the latter sounds a little bit more atas (high-class)...... come on, it's about the fruit vs the queen, right..???

when it comes to names, i never consider AP as being creative and original ...... so using the locations of the boutiques is maybe only a matter of convenience......

for the followers of AP limited editions, they know the stream is endless anyway so this new model is no new surprise....... i reckon stretching the production to 100 pcs is the max they shd go..... for anymore would be considered as dumping (haha)....

in terms of weight, the orchard road is surely the winner as the HK-edition is made of titanium...... but in terms of significance, the queen's road is far too similar to the JBB (malaysian-edition)..... there are always more special limited editions and somehow i feel that THIS would never be ranked as the more important ones.....

feel free to disagree....

more and more avmox 2 chronographs..????



WHATTTTTT???

another version of the JLC amvox 2 chronograph....?? they are not going to stop, are they?

after the original amvox 2, amvox 2 black titanium, amvox 2 dbs, amvox 2 dbs steel and now the amvox 2 racing............... ohhhhh and the list gets longer.....

i really hope they stop messing with it............. and i am no fan of an unlimited run of limited edition watches.......

mille mille

if you visit here often, you'd know that i am a BIG richard mille fan......... and i always try to share the goodies with you guys.....

quite some time ago, i was at my regular AD and had the chance to try on a couple of classic pieces.....

one....... a richard mille rm010 in rose gold..........

for rm watches, rose gold is a good choice cos there's a alluring visual effect .... unlike titanium and white gold, rose gold is very obvious..... and has a warm tone that's very soothing..... 

i had a hard time trying to guess which piece was in titanium .... or white gold.... in the end, i got it all WRONG haha....


two........ a richard mille rm011 le mans LE in titanium.......



alas, trying is one thing......... able to afford is another............ 

pls pardon the blurry pics cos the camera-phone wasnt really that GOOD.....

the mille diver


oh yes these are the first live pictures of the rm025.................. the million dollar titanium/gold masterpiece for the richest of dive masters.... :)



so it looks as thick as a tin car of tobacco...? almost almost, surely it's a chunk of a watch...... and one needs a big wrist to carry the look....

it is really TOO massive.....

simple is beautiful....



made for simple folks, this skeleton-movement manual-wound corum golden bridge in titanium is pure understated beauty and craftsmanship.....

almost featherweight in titanium, i think this watch makes the right statement
