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.

Tomorrow will be the big 'Singapore Gathering' and it is hoped, all respectable forum members from overseas will bring back good memories with them.

With the guidance and advice of Singaporean Omegaforum members, I am sure the occasion will be lively and fruitful.

It is regretted, I am not able to be one of the participants.

Share with us the pictures you record. Good luck and enjoy, this great gathering of vintage Omega lovers.

Thank you.

While you are there, eat as much as you wish and when you go home, you do not need to eat, for at least three months or so. Everything over there is so cheap but do not try to buy a car or real estate.

Your host/s will surely bring you to visit Cortina Watch, if you are looking into buying a new Omega. They have a fabulous collections of Omega, Patek Philippe and Rolex, etc. Service is second to none.

Enjoy Singapore but no jay-walking, please.

Thank-you.

Let us hope, if they were to jay-walk or litter, they do not get caught, since the fines are indeed quite hefty. They may have to sell some of their vintage-watches, to you.

Thank you.

I like it honestly, I walk down the street in a city where there are huge numbers of smokers and there are no butts on the sidewalk, no trash, just clean sidewalk. I also have a very dim view of thieves and criminals in general so I'm really impressed by it all. The 90kph speed limit, cost of having a car, and the congestion would be the drawbacks, I get enough speeding tickets as it is back in Brisbane 馃槈
