200kph in my 2.4Camry (stock). did it in NLEX around 5-530 sunday morning. was coasting at around 160, saw a clear stretch and just punched it, i had the ect on so it just jumped up. I would have gone faster if it weren't for my chicken heart.

GMT II or Submariner?  Some say GMT is more bang for the buck.  Any comments?

hey pokpok,

ive had that very same dilemma when i bought my sub... but after i decided to get the sub i never looked backed....a lot has to be said that the sub is celebrating its 50th (or something) year anniversary. abroad, the sub gets more attention than my datejust

Dickyboy,

From the photo you posted, the model is called Travel Time Calatrava. Dual time zone. Not exactly the same, but I have seen this for sale at around $8K or around P450K preowned.  How much is it there? The Patek Philippe 5022 "Calatrava" Strapwatch is around $7K preowned.  Check out this website:

They have a healthy amount of Pateks for sale.  Very reliable sellers.  Plus an incredible amount of Used Rolex for sale.  Their store is located in downtown Atlanta Georgia.  Hope this helps!

Hey pokpok,

Thanks very much, man...at $8K it is probably better there than here, assuming you find one here. i'll be in nyc soon, i might try looking around, but even at $7k to $8K i'd still be pushing the limit and would have to give up one of my sweeties which i'm not yet readdy to do.

It will have to be my holy grail for a while longer..

pareng grv777

i dunno about the resale of Omegas, but as for the Rolex...let me put it this way, my submariner which i bought in 97 (right before the currency crisis) is now worth much more (almost 2X) than what i originally paid for it. also pinoys love rolexes so there is a steady demand for them.

This is my holy grail...well at least until i get it.

folks,

any info on a pre-owned patek calatrava...checked it out again in lucerne...shet man i really want it.....but it is tooo dammmn expenssssive! I might be able afford a pre-owned.

I have a 2003 camry 2.4V.... man it rocks.....the 2003 Accord is nuttin compared to it....but since Accord is now offered at 3.0 V6, man I gotta have it!!!

reality based...H.Accord 3.0 V6

what I really want....Audi A8...sige na nga I'll settle for the A6 (as if)

diablo series....by far

sam serious for plain old mindless shoot em up fun.

2003 T.Camry 2.4 V...

i've never seen a sportura, post a pic please

hey folks,

have you seen the 50th anniv. issue of the submariner? black face with...get this...a green bezel...sorry man...but fancy colors aint my cup of tea. check it out a the rolex website.

Dickyboy,

Sweet! If you intend to let go of your Sub befroe Christmas, Let me know!

Pokpok,

sorry pal but not the sub...I'll keep you in mind though if i come across someone selling

my passions are:

1. the journey...more than than the destination

2. the chase......more than the conquest

3. the battle...... more than the victory

4. the flirting......more than the f**king

if your selling your datejust, im interested. just pm me.

Hey Atong,

I will sure keep you in mind...but you know how it is ...this vice of ours....it is really hard to let go of any of them and much easier to just add to the collection.....much like girlfriends...oops!! JOKE!!! didn't mean it...

in any case if you come across any patek calatrava less than 10 years old maybe you could post a pic... thanks man!

Salamat Dickyboy.

Magpost ka naman pics ng Sub mo! O kaya yung 2t datejust.

Hi pokpok, as promised.... here are my sweeties...i scanned them na lang kaya reso not so good.

classic white calvins

the best for me is gulliver's 14oz cut bloody rare with a bottle yalumba red

Salamat Dickyboy.

Magpost ka naman pics ng Sub mo! O kaya yung 2t datejust. Would love to see it. Ano ba ang specs? Vintage or QS na yung date? Let's see them! I'm thinking of buying either a sub or explorer II as a christmas present for myself

But man, this IWC just keeps calling my name. p*tanginatalaga oo :boo: :boo:

Ano ba tong pinasukan ko! I'm not a big fan of pitek Parang Mercedes or BMW? Can't go wrong with either one, pero Mercedes, namputcha, siguro pag Lolo na ako :mtc:

sige pokpok I will post it pag nakuhanan ko ng pics. they are not vintages, bought the sub in 1997 just before the currency crisis ($1+P27 hehehe jackpot) and the datejust in may 2003. My 5 cents worth, cool ang IWC but the explorer 2 is a classic and has macho image to it, bagay kahit sa t-shirt saka sa americana

ganun nga ang reaction sa patek, either you like it or you don't, kaya lang for me sobra ko yatang like eh. pare, ano nga ba itong napasukan natin.

currently reading Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson. It is a damn good book!! one of the best. Techno, histo, nerdo tale told in a real cool way. it features the Philippines a lot.

damn pokpok!!! that is a pretty watch.

my favorite is brand Rolex and I love my submariner and 2 tone datejust. But I think I am ready to graduate from rolex and move on to patek philippe... i'd probably sell the datejust and save up the rest to buy a calatrava.

The sub I will never let go.. it is such a classic and so super suwerte sa chicks

harharhar! bakit nga ba ganun ang rep*tation ng mga lawyers? is it really that bad? frustration ng dad ko na hindi ako nag-pursue ng law career. pero now that i'm thinking about it, parang interesting nga. the "obscenely big" salary is the driver, i have to admit.... :boo:

chipmaker,

go for it! enroll ka na sa law school. you are never too old to start a legal career. saka ang sikreto dyan is to open up a practice in a medium sized city or town. konti lang kayo dami clients....ergo dami din fees.

kaya lang yung iba mga gulay, manok at prutas ang kayang ibayad sa iyo. pero dapat ok lang yun.

Hahahaha....

 

Well it's like you are saying that your salary is in payment for your soul. Is that right?

 

:evil:

you realize how little money means when you're on the verge of losing what matters most because of your pusuit of it.......

but to lose your soul in the pusuit of sexual gratification is probably a fair trade...

MTC rules!!

Folks,

i tried the new motel its called Rosal or something...P410 for 3hrs garage room, we ordered a plate of special cold cuts and a plate of pork asado plus 8 bottles of san mig lite. total bill less thanP1,100. super sulit it is my new favorite. dito na kami mag inuman ng sweetie ko may kasama pang sex
