I just had to ask myself the simple question of: how often do I wear a brown (or brown shade) strap. Since the question was answered with my 104 being 20% on a brown strap and 80% on various other color combos, the decision was much simpler.

A few days ago, a micro breakfast GTG was held in a resto in Greenhills. Thanks to another member in our local watch forum, he was able to hook me up with a friend of his who was selling one. I wasted no time and asked for an appointment with the seller that same day. He is also a member in our local forum. We met somewhere in Pasig and brought a blank check just incase

You guys may be surprised but I haven't tried on a 1950 case ever. However, when I got to meet with the seller, tried it on, and said to myself, it wont leave my wrist anymore. The 1950 is indeed nice A sight to behold and something new and different from the 104's case.

However, it was just lately that I got to snap photos of it and will wear it for the first time this weekend

So, without further much a do.

Do you guys know where I can buy 'gold' president bracelet (replacement) here in Manila? Or Rolex doesn't allowed that due to serial issues?

dennis, in hong kong, the price is hkd49,000, some ad's give 5% discount. if washington gives it at php232k, that would be a good deal. but i know that most ad's in manila have very low to none inventory of sports models. a lot of waiting time, and the waitlist is quite long as i was told.

oscar,

salamat! can you also kindly include a used pam 219 a friend asked me if its better to get it here than SG. natutukso na kong kunin ang nasa B&S section, sa palagay mo magandang presyo na rin ang mid $5K brand new 14060M? pasensya na daming tanong :)


siewmaiwatch,

xie xie, forgot the other chinese phrases i learned for having counterparts in taiwan, for the HK price update.... my friend told me that washington price was quoted few months back, might be before this year's price increase. wow! kaya ako i don't believe pinoys are poor :) apart from the rolex scarcity... lambo is going to have a dealership and lexus philippines is bringing the LF-A.

magandang hapon mga kabayan!
