watch!

This is my first chronograph watch, tho I kind of regret my choice cos upon a closer look, that bezel is afterall, not that attractive. But I love the way it display the dates in an arch like a moon shape. But then one fine day, while walking side by side with mum, her hand sort of brushed against my wrist and I heard a "crung" sound. I immediately inspected my watch and sad to say, her silly rolex chipped MY WATCH!!!!!!!!!!!!! She can even consoled me with a "aiyah, small hole only." BUT THAT MAKES THE FACE NOT PERFECTLY SMOOTH ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!

Bearing my grudges, I been looking for an opportunity and excuse to buy another chronograph one, and then one day, or a few days to be exact, I went to many little or big watch retailers to look for "The one" and even surf those online brands which many local retailers dont carry. Then while aimlessly shopping at taka, I decided to cross the road and explore lucky plaza, which I believe, I will find..... "The One".

So I popped into this little but full of watches store and I saw Movado, a brand which I chanced upon only online and immediately asked the lady boss "hey! you carry this brand ah! many places I been to dont sell this! do you have Bulova also?" she coldly looked at me and said they dont. All of the sudden, I imagined a bubble appearing on top of her head that says "I only serve the golden haired!"

But her attitude does not spoil my day cos am too excited to come face to face with those watches which I thought I can only see from online than to get affected by her body lang. And then I explained to her that I been seeing this brand online but her store is the first which I chanced upon carrying this brand. And I continued asking her why so limited places carry brands like bulova, movado etc. She explained becos the agents were not very reliable and advise me not to buy online and even those in her stores are pretty out-dated designs. Then slowly turned friendly and introduced me to go to another bigger store just a few shops away which I may find those that I am looking for.

Thanks to her, I am another step closer to "The ONE" and saw this watch paradise which is what I have been looking for. Big show cases with many different all sorts of brands, vintage watches to chose from. I already knew what I wanna get. A white chronograph one this time and spotted "THE ONE" and immediately told the uncle I wanted that (tho I knew city chain or so ever will have it too).

And though usually I will grab and go but this time, I looked thru the watch thoroughly and asked a few questions even boldly asked for discount and smiled. The grandfather looking old man agreed to cut 20 bucks for me and I even rounded off another 2 bucks which he also agreed. Muhahahaha! Well I guess he will still make some profit even after those discounts given to me but its the negotiation and getting what I asked for, which makes the whole thing fun! Tho this watch is kinda common, but still! Its my second chronograph watch.

Actually wanted a tag heuer golf chrono but tho it looks nice but the price is not that nice after all. MUahahaha! But I am contented with this one still, and hmmm.....probably sourcing for another one, maybe a red or pink one, or a black watch with white face or a white watch with black face. Or a Blue watch? Slowly, these will come into my collection. Heheheehehehehe!!!

Then I showed uncle and his son my chipped titus and ask them to get it replace but they looked and me and say its just a chip, replacing the glass will cost me a 65 bucks and tell me no, wait till it gets more scratches then replace it. Totally different response I got. I remembered asking the sales person at City Chain some days ago and he immediately he can get it replaced for me except that I have to wait for 2 wks to get it done without telling me the price even.


This is "THE ONE"

And I simply have some fetish over chronograph watchs esp men's watch. They always look so much better than ladies collection. Will also be sourcing for skeleton ones too, meaning those which you can see the mechanism through the full face but very limited brands carry that and from the side of it, the whole face looks thick. Sigh.. but am sure I will be able to find one to my liking.

And now I know where to get good deals and wide range of watches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy! Very easily contented hor? :)
