do you show random strangers when they ask for the time?
I was outside this watch shop when this stranger of indian descent came up to me; he pointed to my wrist and kept asking me to show him the time. strange vibes, i just told him DONT KNOW and got outta there. *took place in singapore outside sincere watche...
I have heard a story once at this eating place a restaurant where..
...during broad daylight, a group of robbers stormed a table of people whom most of them have nice watches on them such as AP, Pam, Rolex, Pateks and guess what the robbers took? Cash and Rolex! I am not sure though about robbers-chopping-hands tactics I ...
As we know...
...if the tourbi was a Richard Mille, a quick drive along a par 4 wouldn't do it any harm at all. Heck, that's how Richard Mille keeps his own watch wound! Cheers, pplater.
SG is safe dude. It's our homeground and dun think anyone would chop off your hands in
broad daylight. But back to the topic, yes why not. Its just a couple of secs of time. cheers PAt
if that stranger is so close to you in distance and whether or not..
...you tell him the time through your precious Rolex, its a different matter all together cos if his intentions was to hurt you, he will hurt you anyways regardless whether you give him the time or not. so i guess its ok to tell the time, as long as its n...
Unfortunately no. Likely to be cold turkey this year, another big ticket item coming in.
A new ride for the family. And you know how the COEs/car prices have been spiraling since 2009. But the P10s for IGOTT are really tempting..... cheers PAt
Yeah i heard from a friend who works in BOA Meryll in SG. I guess..
..the new wheels will be of higher priority.... Enjoy the new ride
No matter where or which country you are in...
A criminal will be a criminal. Better be safe than sorry. Just be cautious and aware of your surroundings. I like the idea of using the phone instead. I have heard of the chopping arm tactic before from my Hong Kong friends in the 90s....apparently it was...
Oh my! I was there just last week. But no shady character approached me. Guess it's becoz
of my dressing. Simple polo t with berms. Cheers PAt
My dad always told me about
Robbers chopping off hands in South Africa or India, he said a guy was stuck in traffic and had a gold sub, so he lowered the window and put his arm out to rest, some guy came and chopped of his arm I did hear some thing similar in the news, but it was ab...
I'dGiveItFromMyRolex
I'd readily give anyone the time from the Rolex on my left wrist when asked, and be just as ready to provide him a sock from my right fist if they tried tricks after seeing the watch. I don't think the world is that bad a place... most days. Of course, I ...
hehehe...spoken like a true collector!
I am sure your wrist will adorn a similarly desirable watch! Best, Horo
Naaah... they don't chop hands to rob.
Must be a 300Newton swing to pull off a 'hand off' chop. As for safety I just take out my cellphone to show time. Easy Best Tyler
No show, just tell
To be honest, I don't see why I need to show the dude my watch. If asked, I normally take a quick glance myself and tell the dude directly.
