Any Members from the Philippines??
 

My whole family is in the Philippines (except for my mum), I was born here though and only go back once a year (used to be twice but we seemed to slow down on the trips).

My mum was born in Mindanao and my family lives in Davo.

Hey there...nice to hear from you..i didnt get your name?? how did you like the philippines?? i havent gone back for 6 years im stil waiting for my gc to come out...hopefully before the ned of the year...can you understand filipino though??

Kabayan!
 

Born and raised in Cebu.. and still in Cebu!:thumbsup: I think you mean "maBuhay"!:cheers:

Mabuhay ka kabayan!!!! Boyet is a filipino too and he is from cebu...guys if you have a pic of your collection please show it with your photos of yourself...salamat!!!!

scroop you own a pam?? where did you buy it? im actually looking for one

Opps, I should probably put my name in the profile thing.

I'm Dom.
Yeap I like it over there, very different to Australia. My grandma owns a large fuel trucking cooperation along with a few other things. My uncle was kidnapped and held for a $1m USD ransom 10 years ago. After she paid half, they never kept their part of the deal and he was never seen again. So now I can't travel anywhere without a body guard (who doubles as a driver) for my own safety, as I said.....very different to Aus lol.

I bought my PAM off timezone, from someone in USA. It was second hand, but it came looking brand new, was happy with that purchase.

This is my collection:

sorry to hear that dom... you have a nice collections...i was wondering why a lot of pam owners like the black dial?? IMO i thought the white look stunning..really makes the dial more classy...just wondering...

My guess is that most Panerai's have a black face, with only a handful with a white.

not much but here is mine..I want a Pam!!!:crying::crying:

so that makes it more rare??

My dad is from the Philippines. I have six brothers, and FIVE of us wear SS DJs. My ma has two Lady DJs. And my Dad has a YG DD...

I will have to get a group picture when I go home for Thanksgiving. :thumbsup:

Hahahah thats always my problem i never proof read my posts hahaha MABUHAY KAYO!!!:lol::lol:

My brother said Manila sell watches more cheaper than Indonesia.:thumbsup:

I dont think so...is it??? i havent gone back for 6 years....i know its quite expensive in manila...why is it expensive there TR?:thinking:

For Rolex, Jakarta have good value. they discount good. Around 20-23% for Professional models and 23-25% for dressy.
But for Pannie for example, I think here sell a bit up from standard price.

I'm from the Philippines but I don't live there. Does that count. hehehe

Its all good james as long you mention the Philippines hahaha:lol::lol::lol:

You think they will mind if we speak our own dialect here james??

why don't you ask steve or the mods... but personally, i don't think it is appropriate on the board.. maybe on pm's...

Hello fellow Filipinos. I find it very interesting that there seems to be a collective cultural attractions for Rolexes in the Far East, Philippines included. I know personally that it started with my Mother who brought a Rolex for my Brother and me after graduation. She ended up buying a gold ladies DJ for herself. I recently bought one for my wife (who is not Filipino) and certainly will end up giving my collection to my sons. So I would say that my family is heavily invested. Correct me if I'm wrong but are there any other cultures that do this?

i'm filipino born and raised. now i live in toronto

Hi carlos..yes there are a lot of people who's passes their watch collection to the new generation...especially in our country were a lot of people had valued old things...sabi nga nila swerte daw yun!!:thumbsup::thumbsup:
