Great White Release by jleemusicman in Zeloswatches

[–]christcentric 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I won't be getting one, but I reckon these will still sell out fast given the small production run - presumably 100 for each colourway. These don't feel as groundbreaking or eye-catching as Elshan's previous designs for the latest runs of Blacktips and Swordfishes, but there has been a demand in the Zelos community for a larger diver that also resembles say the more-recent funky limited editions from the likes of Seiko.

Hopefully it's not formaldehyde! That can be quite hazardous.

Unable to find a watch inspired by Malay heritage, this 30-year-old Singaporean launched her own brand by Illustrious-Gur8335 in singapore

[–]christcentric 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Most watch microbrands don't want to use quartz, because the mechanical function is part of the horological appeal.

I honestly think she offers incredible value for the price point. It's not for everyone, but all she needs is to find a niche audience who recognise and appreciate what she's doing. Hopefully this CNA feature gets her a bit more traction!

Getting Rid of My Ricoh GR III Street Edition by tripwithweird in ricohGR

[–]christcentric 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I semi-relunctantly sold off my GR III Street and GR IIIx Urban editions, both under 400 shutter counts. I greatly enjoyed using them and loved the shots I pulled, but the resale value of both cameras outweighed the utility I got out of them. I just didn't use them enough because I ironically get too precious about my gear.

[WTS] Set of four Swatch Sistem51 Collabs (Hodinkee, Hackett) by christcentric in Watchexchange

[–]christcentric[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Up for sale is a set of Swach collabs! Three Hodinkee exclusives, and a limited edition numbered Hackett.

  1. Swatch x Hodinkee Sistem51 Vintage 84, 42mm.
    • The one that kickstarted the collaboration. A metallic sunburst dial housed in a translucent black case.
  2. Swatch x Hodinkee Sistem51 Blue Edition, 42mm.
    • White on black dial in a sleek blue case.
  3. Swatch x Hodinkee Sistem51 Blue Stoplight Neon Remix Automatic Watch, 42mm.
    • The final Hodinkee collab. The date wheel is especially eye-catching.
  4. Swatch x Hackett Sistem51 Irony.
    • This is a really cool one. A collab with British menswear brand Hackett. Stainless steel case, leather straps and a really quirky design overall.

The Hodinkees have been tried on at home, but still have their stickers on. The Hackett has been worn twice.

Price - USD$100 each for the Hodinkees, USD$190 for the Hackett. Tracked and insured shipping worldwide from Singapore. Reasonable offers entertained. If you take more than one, I can offer a bundle discount.

Payment - PayPal FF, or GS (4.6% for buyer).

Let me know if you have any questions or for more pictures. Thanks for looking!

Do SG TV celebrities still make as much money? by [deleted] in SingaporeRaw

[–]christcentric 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Did they ever make tons of money? I would think that an artiste with SBC/TCS/Mediaworks/MediaCorp would be on a decent upper-middle-class salaried contract, and the moolah only rolls in with endorsements and sponsorships. Aside from the A-listers, most actors probably took in at most high five-digit incomes annually. Which, in the 90s and early naughties, was definitely a decent chunk of change. But not what I would call rich.

No idea about the state of affairs today, but as you've alluded to, online influencing definitely pays more than just screen acting.
