Missing is my late Dad's Seamaster 30 from the 60s. It's getting overhauled right now. I'll probably sell the Hamilton soon, so I'll have room for one more. ;)

Hello Mga kababayan! I'm in Manila every year. Just a question, I noticed that there's a lot of AD in Manila. Is it easier to get a Daytona-C there?

If you got the time, and stamina. I would suggest checking out the usual malls from SM and Ayala. Lucerne and Washington are the shops to look out for. A former boss of mine was able to find a hulk just by simple asking one of the sales people (though I wouldn't know if a new LV is hard to find).

Good luck.

Hello kabayans!! Glad to see we have a pretty strong following here!

Props to diablo982 for pointing out this thread to me. Albeit late, considering it was seven years ago, thanks, nonetheless.
