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.

Fake Rolex
My wife got posted to China for a couple of days and bought me a fake Rolex, remember it was less than RM100. The movement can be hacked and manually winded but the casing is of poor quality which you can see that it is rusting and the bracelet has sharp edges. I changed the bracelet with a leather strap.
Citizen quartz watch
I actually worn plenty of watches during my student days but many of them were damaged except for this one which had survived the abuse.
