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 have also heard stories where, quote unquote, there was this rich guy, who was cheating on his wife, and he happened to be an avid watch collector, and he loves tourbillon, one day, when he got home, the wife found out about his affairs, she took one his watches, a tourby, put it on a golf tee, and she swing it away with his driver on that special tourby, and it flew for many hundreds yards. Again, i am not sure whether that is true, but nevertheless, sounds very painful.

...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

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

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...

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 ...
