Gift from my dad

My dad collects lots of watch and he can't actually wear all of them. So gave me one of his. This is a replica Tag Heuer, the movement can be hacked and manually winded. It also keeps the day, date and 24 hour indicator in chrono style. But I find that the dial face a bit too cluttered and difficult to see. The dark illumination is also very poor, only the two hands illuminate slightly. But the power reserve is tremendously long, I felt that it's even longer than my Seiko 5 Superior. The sealing is a bit inferior. There was once my dad told that the watch fogged up during his visit to Beijing in winter.

My wife's Baby G

Bought this Casio Baby G for my wife on a special occasion. She actually wanted a full pink Baby G but it cost around RM360 at that time. Bought her this model instead at RM230 with some slight pink line on the strap only.

My wife's first Seiko

Bought my wife her first mechanical watch to replace her aging cheapo Q&Q watch for a special occasion many years ago. It was a Seiko 5 with 4206 movement which cannot be hacked but can be winded automatically or manually by turning the crown when fully pressed. However, unlike those current line ups of the 5s for the guys, this lady watch does not have a see thru back case, it's full stainless steel. As always, ladies' automatic watch is always cheaper, i got this for RM150 only.



This Seiko no longer keep time accurately and need to be recalibrated. She then got a Bonia quartz watch after that as her main watch.

My first Seiko

Bought this Seiko 5 Superior many years ago at RM350. This 7S36 movement has 23 jewels but cannot be hacked or manually winded. Good thing is that it comes with scratch proof sapphire glass and see thru back casing.
