i wanna buy this............!

the arcam avr350 av amplifier...................

kinda need a new av amp.......my current pioneer av amp is oredi a few years old.....obsolete haha....

but a new amp is kinda expensive.......especially something close to the quality of an arcam....alternative is to buy jap.....either denon, onkyo, pioneer, yamaha............many choices lor and definitely more economical...........

maybe it's my perception but i think arcam is one of the better sounding av amps around.....

well.........it's either a new amp or a blue ray player................need a good HD source for the HD panel..!

this one is not too bad............glycine black jack

one manual and one automatic......both in black pvd stainless steel......looks like more and more manufacturers are turning out black watches...........no matter what, black is always sleek and cool...........mysterious even...

i kinda like sword hands so given the choice, i will pick the one on the left.....moreover, the appeal is somewhat better with a simple dial, making it easy to read......the red accent also kinda interesting, adding a tinge of colour to the white marking on the dial...

really the pvd coating is tough and lasting.....

would you pay S$20k for this...???

i wont....

apparently 20k is not the list price but a "suspected" premium price that the watch could command when it arrives at ADs here.....

i am quite sure the watch will sell .........even at this inflated price........well, greedy ADs at work...

tempus 07: memorable watches

i believe many went to tempus...........so i wont spend too much time explaining and talking about it...

just wanna list down the memorable watches i saw at the event:

AP TA in carbon, rose gold and platinum
urwerk 103 and 201
patek - full range of nautilus watches........they look smaller in the flesh...
richard mille rm009 and rm012............first time in my life i am seeing it, especially the out of production 009
rolex yachtmaster 2 yellow gold, first time as well....

others are:
sinn u1 tempus edition..........after looking at it, i kinda prefer the original.........hee..:P
hublot big bangssss...........so many, from the mat series, kings and bigger bangs.....

the rest just browse browse only.....haha...

VC....

VC....the oldest manufacture.......do have an interesting line of sport watches, the overseas...

like this overseas dual time..........see how the bracelet design is perfectly matched with the VC sign........that theme is carried over to the bezel as well, i especially like the way the first joint is mated with the bezel.......very much a macho and musculine watch



tough choice to choose between white and black.....

other than the dual time, they have a regular overseas as well as the chronograph.........




in fact the overseas chronograph is cool..............notwithstanding the list price (approx USD 15000).......however they are typically sold at a reasonable discount.......

some RM news.....

managed to catch some of the latest .......richard mille watches and a clock ...........

saw (and touched) the rm013.........the only piece in the world and what a beast of a clock it is.........definitely uber cool and looks very complicated .....its mechanism is way beyond my understanding of how a clock works......there's a spirit level built in so pls make sure if u buy the clock, place it on a ultra-level table............so how about splashing out S$4.5 million dollars on a planetarium clock...............

the display came with a glass cover.......with 15 days of power reserve......shd be pretty fun to hand-wind the clock haha.......and i have never seen a bigger balance wheel than what it has.......

saw and the tried on the rm011-fm..........
hmmmmm.............looked huge in pictures, looked Humungous!! in the showcase...........but looks just FINE on my wrist haha..........*DREAM WATCH*...!!................sadly the waiting list is pretty LONG and my bank balance is not even close....i believe it will be a LONG wait for the delivery............

although quite alot bigger than the rm005..........it did not feel any heavier...the lightweight titanium really helps......i m sure it will feel very different in gold.........surely it does make the rm005 looks puny in some ways....

saw and tried on the rm016 in rg........and in black pvd...........hmmmmm.....looked small in pictures and pretty big in the showcase.............but again............just FINE on my wrist too............the black pvd versions is sleek metallic chic................COOL is the word....well the black version, specially made for tempus 07, is completely sold out..............23 pieces in total, all sold out.............wish i could have got my hands on one haha.......

the rm012 did not managed to make it to singapore for the event...........too bad, cos always wanted to see it LIVE...



sorry cant show any live pictures as i didnt bring my camera...............anyway most of the pros there using DSLR so no point bring my P&S camera haha............
