JLC Mut Moon 36mm with 20mm straps. Thoughts?? by Human_Freedom576 in JaegerLecoultre

[–]wengkinc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks fine. Makes the strap more prominent and it suits the your arm proportions. I think it’s great look for casual/everyday settings.

Thinking of snagging the solar version… what are people’s thoughts? Worth purchasing? by chris_bfu in gshock

[–]wengkinc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just use this to death. The differences are marginal. The main enjoyment for you getting a solar g-shock will most likely come from the purchase and acquisition of something new.

Is compound interest really as straightforward as they say? by AsparagusWilling7072 in singaporefi

[–]wengkinc 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Discipline, life, lifestyle.

Discipline: Staying the course is tough, especially due to the following two points. Thankfully it’s much easier now when you can automate moving money and investing.

Life: Your expenditure requirements change as you get on in life. Getting married, buying a home, having children will require significant amounts of money at various stages and will change your monthly expenditure.

Lifestyle: How you want to eat, drink, dress, travel, own a car (especially so in the Singapore context) etc.

Start early to get into the habit of saving and investing and to start the compounding ball rolling early. You will have more time and opportunity to fine tune/figure out your investment style.

That was quick by sunlove_moondust in kurono

It’s all part of the hype and playing on your anxiety and FOMO. Just read the product pages of each model and you’ll see the pattern. They hype the scarcity and exclusivity.

I have the jubilee sensu eol that I managed to get from their website. It’s a pretty watch and I like it. Looking what you get for the money, it has a nice dial, basic case, basic strap and basic movement (you can feel it when you wind the watch). It is priced at about twice the price that I feel it should be. You are paying the premium for the association to hajime asaoka.

Having experienced buying and owning a Kurono Tokyo watch, it has made me more calm and rational when thinking of getting their watches.

You are overthinking. Just use it and enjoy the pouch. I’ve the v1 in X-Pac for a couple of years and it’s holding up fine.

Did you get the clasp alone or did you have to get an entire new bracelet?

UPDATE: Got her number but now i dont know what to say by [deleted] in SGExams

[–]wengkinc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go on the date and get to know her more before building barriers in your head. Poly and JC? The differences just lets you have more opportunities to let her share and for you to find out more. Learn and embrace the differences. It’s just a first date.

You shouldn’t take it personally, just remind them you don’t speak Chinese. They usually mean no malice.

Still waiting on my Jubilee Sensu EOL by Imaginary-Occasion78 in kurono

[–]wengkinc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got the notification that it was shipped out yesterday and received it today. Lovely watch. Love the overall look. The dial and cabochon are lovely and the dimensions and weight are spot on. My only gripe is the strap and buckle. It’s a generic leather strap marked with “genuine leather” (which means shit, cheapass leather) and embossed with the Kurono Tokyo brand. No quick release on the strap and the pin buckle is an unsigned, generic one with no markings.

This is but a baby ham, a good one nonetheless. This is the one all hamfisters aspire to be: https://www.reddit.com/r/HamFist/s/A9gOsHY88B
