KIDNAPPABLE ITO... BASTA SA AKIN YUNG RELO... IYO NA YUNG RANSOM..." are the usual thoughts from criminals...and a few desperate fellows who want quick money.... sorry just my thoughts... have seen too many incidents of criminality in the city and its not too sensible to wear one in public....  Maybe for occasions but not for daily use... sorry k20... ingat lang.... just a basic seiko for me... A WATCH IS A TOOL... IF WELL KEPT AND MAINTAINED... IT WILL FUNCTION RELIABLY... JUST LIKE GUNS.... Edited August 23, 2006 by zij11zk Quote Link to comment

rolex_philippines Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 as for me i think of timepieces as an investment that's why i don't think buying expensive watches are a waste of money. it's something na pwede mo pa ipamana hanggang apo mo. my dad still has his lolo's rolex president. actually my manual wind rolex was a pamana by my dad and i'm sure mapapamana ko pa sa anak ko. my rolex oyster perpetual date was a graduation gift from my parents. the tag and techno i bought myself.

DaVincilog Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 i am just in awe of bonito's watches and those are just SOME of his babies.  love the citizen chrono and the bellmatic. is the other one the seiko darth vader? Quote Link to comment
koopahl Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 (edited) that's true...good watches that stand the test of time are wise investments and can last a generation. sadly, my first watch, a seiko in gold trim and leather strap, bought by my father in 1968, got lost sometime 1975 when our house was burglarized. now, i see them as vintage pieces being sold in ebay and other watch forums and they cost so much compared to the new model prices. now, i feel the loss of that watch even if i was just 4 years old then...could have given it to my sons if it were still around. but all is not lost. i now have three durable timepieces on hand, two seikos and a citizen, automatics all, and each will be given to my three children when the time comes...but for now, am enjoying them to my heart's content.  for the weekend, here's something to look forward to...in appreciation of the fine taste of rolexphil...cheers!
