Close up shots of my 2 new Squares.

This model is unique due to the Combi-Bracelet which I have not seen in Singapore on a Square. It makes the watch feel more premium in terms of weight and the negative display is the icing on the cake. One of my favourite squares but only got down to buying it recently. I guess temptation got the better of me. One of better squares available in the market.

I am a Carbon Fibre whore, that is what my brother Patrick always says lol. Anyways, I have also been eyeing this for quite awhile now, same as the above square, except the reason for the long consideration is the price. For a non-screw back, it is priced very close to the GW-5000 which is really expensive in my book. But same as the above, temptation got the better of me........Conclusion, very nice and well made. Well worth the money IMO. Go ahead and grab one while its still available. Btw, this model was launched on 30th June 2010 with a production QTY of 1500pcs only. Truly limited and grab one while stocks lasts!

Enough of G Shocks, How about Maurice Lacroix???


I have been on a G Shock Fever since March this year and finally settled down and I seem to have gotten most of what I would like to get and now I'm on the lookout for my next watch. I like diver and Chrono watches and Maurice Lacroix has been releasing some nice designs lately. Below are 3 watches I am considering from Maurice Lacroix. Any ideas?

1) Pontos S Diver
2) Pontos Chrono Red
3) Pontos Extreme

Pics in the same order as the above:-

Head Count for May 2013

Present from Wifey on New Years Day 2013, 1st Jan 2013. Received it in token of appreciation of my dedication towards taking care of her and our home while she was pregnant. Love this watch!

Got this as a present for myself in 2010. One of my favorites for chunky solid metal feel.  My 2nd Deepsea actually. Had a Deepsea previously, sold it off, regretted it and bought another one again. Its been with me ever since.

Present for myself in 2013 for the hard work in 2012. Been thinking of an AP ROO Panda for  awhile and decided to get one this year. Got the straps changed to Black Hornback with Red-Stitching to match the red accents on the dial. 

One of my oldest Automatics, the Maurice Lacroix Pontos Chrono. Got it in late 2000s as my first luxury automatic watch.

A Marina Millitare, Homage to Panerai. Non-existent Panerai Model, steel cage  was customised to Silver instead of the Usual Gold. Manual Movement.
