Gift to my wife

I went to Tokyo last November and having been absence from the family for a week, the least I could do was to bring a gift to my wife. I spent hours in a few electronic shops in Ueno and Akihabara before decided to get her this Orient solar watch which the salesman claimed it was a limited edition. Not sure how limited it was as it didn't have a proper serial number but the design was unique as only this model has a diamond on the crown. Cost about JPY16,625 or RM634.22 after conversion.

I thought it would be a safe buy as I don't think this watch is sold in Malaysia and no worry of getting something more expensive than in Malaysia.

My first "Made in Japan" Seiko

My wife went to Singapore for a few days and surprised me with this gift. She refused to reveal the price but I believe it should be above RM1,000 for a watch that is made in Japan. The 4R15B movement can be manually winded, another first for me in terms of Seiko watch ownership.

Lug width 20mm
Dial face diameter 40mm
