It is on !!!
We will have our own Omega Forums mini gathering in Singapore.
The date would be: Saturday, 8th February 2014, lunch time (12:30 pm - 02:30 pm). It is already off peak season hence the airline ticket should be more affordable for Indonesian, Malaysian, Thais, HongKong or even Australian who wants to join.
The place would be in Yantra a very nice north Indian restaurant located in Tanglin Mall at the end of Orchard Road. Vegetarian menu served as well as usual meat lover menus.

We will booked a private room seated 10 people comfortably. Four people already confirm to come (Gavin, Nigel/NT931, Ashley and Me), six more seats available with 2 reserved for waiting lists. It is based on first booked first serve. A SGD 50 contribution per person is expected for booking the seat, due at latest 2 weeks before the event. This will cover our lunch fees.

After we have delicious lunch, peeking each other watch collection and taking watch pictures like crazy, our local friend will show us to various AD and vintage watch boutique nearby.

So book yourself fast. Only six seats remain.

PS: There are many hotels nearby. You can contact us if you want more specific hotel info.

 

I am looking forward to this!

I am envious of this forthcoming mini gathering in Singapore. Only if I were still there, I would definitely join the fun.

Please do not forget to bring your respectable guests to the Hainanese coffee-shop, next to those 'murtabak' shops at the junction of North Bridge Road (opposite to the Sultan Mosque) and Arab Street. It was always very crowded in the morning, seven days a week. There, one will find casual dealers and some vintage-watch collectors, too.

Kindly do not forget about the flea-markets at Sungei Road and Chinatown. Apart from these two places, I am sure you know where the other vintage-watch shops are located.

It is hoped, this mini gathering will be a success and those present will enjoy.

Thank-you.

You good work will surely be much appreciated.

How I wished, I could join the respectable crowd in this mini gathering.

Have lots of fun and enjoy.

Thank-you.

 

Dear respectable seamonster,
This must brought up many good memories back in Singapore. Thank you for your heart warming wishes.

 

You will not be disappointed. But can't say the same for vintage. Just remember to bring your credit cards.

 

My wife's cousin lives in Sydney. She regularly goes to Singapore during the Great Sale. She said the saving that she got from shopping there is more than the air ticket and accommodation cost.
It was truer when AUD was stronger than USD and SGD. Probably not so much now.

 

Hmmm...I might be able to pull this one off since I'm not going to my annual Asia trip this Christmas/New Year's; I was planning on postponing it to late-Jan/early-Feb 2014. I'll have to add Singapore to my itinerary if my trip pulls through.

How much is a direct flight from SFO to SIN again? Ah, the joys of the long haul.

 

Certainly less than a nice Connie SS pie pan . Let us know if you want to confirm the seat.

 

Will do, sir.

 

Booked my flight, too. 7th to 9th Feb 2014.
Btw Felix will join us. He had clean speedy pre moon and 58 rolex sub

 

You have to make him bring the daytona!

 

Sounds good guys, looking forward to it! 5 people so far, let's hope a couple more sign up in Jan.
