Haven't been there for 6 years but, back then, Far East Plaza (off Orchard Road) had a couple and also (less well known) Golden Landmark shopping centre at the top end of Arab St had two or three.

Agreed on all points
Wasn't a huge fan of the name either when I first heard it, all sounded a little generic and LOTR: Dark Lord Erebus of the Northern Realms, or perhaps his horse. But give it a...
I know, right? It seems only yesterday that Rolex stunned the watch world as they increased the diameter of the Sub by 0.2mm.
Luxury brands, pushing the design envelope, 200 micrometers at a time.
People may not consider cost of capital when buying expensive goods but they're wrong to do so. But this discussion started as a result of saying that cost of ownership of a 10k Rolex would be...
After you factor in servicing costs, insurance costs and, most importantly, cost of capital, that simply won't be the case unless you very strike lucky on the timing.
Seiko Turtle, "iced" up to budget / (lack of) taste. Presence of a Panerai, lug to lug of an Explorer.
For a while, I had the SBGV005, which has fully polished sword hands against a champagne dial. It was astonishingly legible, even in very low light conditions. The quality of the polishing was such...
Omega used to make some very nice Planet Oceans.
Judging by how excruciatingly slowly most watches seem to sell on SC, I think it's safe to say 99% of members here have a very keen eye on the future selling price, and try to buy below it ;)
How much are you wearing the other three and how much would you wear the Rolex?
FWIW I think the Bluesey is one of the all-time great pieces of wristwatch jewellery, but I still wouldn't do the...
Had the chance to see these two plus the LHD and 39mm lined up side by side the other day. While the dimensions of the 39mm are great, the sheen on the dial and sunburst brushing on the bezel have...
Would have liked to attend but my San Martin SN021 was in for service at St James's at the time.
Only two scenarios here, either the watch is f****d or you are. Have you checked to see if you've got a pulse?
Yes, but factor in the time needed to check amplitude and beat error before logging aforesaid in your customised spreadsheet and dedicated Moleskine notebook (in triplicate) and you can see why...
It's a competitive field, admittedly, but for me the OP wins by a whisker, the crown at 12 not quite generating the same frisson of excitement as the Explorer's upside down triangle.
But who am I to...
You don't seem averse to a homage so how about San Martin? Their VFM is ludicrously good.
Exactly my thoughts, unfortunately. Over a wetsuit, while diving, I guess it wouldn't matter, but who honestly wants to walk around with a 16.5mm thick hockey puck on their wrist?
Such a shame as...
My all-time favourite summer watch. Unfortunately about 20% too big in every dimension for my wrist :(
The 'Pre-chunder Wonder'.
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.
The worst of times for those wanting to buy a brand but, for those interested in quality, variety and VFM, with what's on offer now in the sub...
Not sure anyone really buys a Rolex over a Tudor for the reasons you gave. They buy a Rolex because it's Rolex. The only difference between the 'mass-market' and WIS Rolex-buyer is that only the...
Are you kidding? It'll be unobtainable, with everyone applying for one fantasising that it'll be the next Tiffany blue.
"Div" must have changed meaning over the years - when I was at school, it meant you were thick!
No strong view one way or the other. I'm not a fan of it on the BB58, I find it makes it look little twee, and prefer the crisper look of the blue. On the other hand, on the Seiko SBDX012 MM300...
Yep, having had an assortment of mid-tier luxury watches over the best part of a decade, I sold my last one (114270) a few years' back, with no regrets, and am now down to two, a Christopher Ward and...
