Hello from Singapore!

[juggernaught09]

Hello! Just joined here and was recently inducted into the rep watches community.

Just a little more about myself:

Why I decided to go into the reps game?

Sometimes I find it difficult to justify the thousands that I'll spend on gen products. I do have a few gen watches lying around but I'm not a great movement fan nor am I a watch history fan at this stage.

However, I do understand that certain watches have an "investment" value to it and these are generally the ones that I do buy in gen.

Further, due to the nature of my work, I do need to wear a dress watch on a daily basis but its exceptionally painful when I scratch them. I do not take much caution to my hands in my daily movements. So well, if I can get a rep that looks and works decently, it wouldn't hurt my heart that much to see it get scratched.

Misc:

I am not sure if its a common trait but it is exceptionally gratifying to go around on a rep that is difficult to get called out on. It's a game to me, and I really enjoy hunting down the best reps I can get my hands on.

I also love travelling to developing countries outside of work and cannot justify the risk of losing a watch bought with thousands of dollars.

Last but not least, looking forward to enjoy my time here with the research and the game.

May the odds always be in our favour.

Nothing less than a PAM 111 will do for a first rep. Going with chazingtime because he's based in Singapore as well. Its easier for me to make payments.

I'm also eyeing an À Lange and Sonhe Datograph. Notwithstanding the multiple flaws on it, it still looks really gorgeous.

Can anyone shed light on the best version albeit inaccurate datograph? Gonna do my research right after typing this reply.

 

[juggernaught09]

I am not sure if I'm missing something.

Prices seem to vary a lot of this watch?

Now I'm getting very confused

 

[zexynova]

hmm....bro. im from sg too. I advise right....to probably ask the TD as why it defers so much. It could be the movement. cuz the description for the movement, quite vague. Or something else.........

Hello great text welcome and enjoy

 

[tkingjr]

Welcome juggernaught09 Try different TD's till you find one that works well for you. The prices and service will vary a little. My TD is very good at making sure the quality is the best but is much slower from the time I order till I receive the watch. I just prefer the better service over speed.

Thanks for taking good care of my President in recent days.

Definitely will have to, the descriptions on the pages are not helpful at all.

Which TD is that if you do not mind me asking?

I'm just glad that nothing happened to President Trump and Chairman Kim during their stay here. God knows how our little island will be exterminated if anything untoward happened to one of them or worse, both.

It appears that Chairman Kim is exceptionally happy to be in Singapore, always smiling and enjoying himself at our local tourist attractions.

bro. I usually go with marvellous Replica. fast replies, and he ensures everything is smooth and working, before posting out. He also gives advise on which model is better.

I am using Lucy, her email is [email protected]. She does not have a website and doesn't work weekends. A Chinese holiday starts tonight. She will be back to work on June 20th. The extra time I wait is worth it to me.
