My love for watches is beginning in unexpectedly journey, when i need to find a birthday present for my girlfriend in her 21st, having an extreme dilemma and low knowledge of the world of watches..i ask lost of my friends to give their ideas, with a bit of google, i manage to pick one of the brand that quite known in Malaysia, I bought her Solvil Et Titus's watch. it was quite hard decision to make,,,phew.
And then after that the god of watches , Watcherion whisper into my mind, and "poof! ,you gonna love watches from now on!", "yes yes i can" i replied. From that time, my vision of watches is different....
And now here in this very post, i would like to introduce to my collection (don't expect to high):
Look back at the second watch that my father bought me (first one was lost..yes..i was a clumshit )
i was such a careless boy that time, i give this baby a lot of hard time and scratches around the body and break the glass once...and now missing some those 2 gold bolt in the corner.
That time i like metal strap watches, and it must be heavy! coz i think it is a real man's watch!
After Watcherion whispered to me, now i was in the hunt of watches, and i dont know why im more into Leather watches this time, and for me steel watches is too heavy ( coz i was a drummer and it really gets in some way).
In Christmas 2012 my Dad give me this beauty as a Christmas present, Edifice EF-341 by Casio, a better version from Casio for Men's watch, with Japan movement component and 10 bar water resistant it's quite a great watch with low cheap, because i bought it from my friend's shop, and his dad is a friend of my dad as well, they give me around $110 ( Rp,1.100.000,-) rather than $140-160 on market price. That time i was happy as heaven, appreciating such a fine watch and leathery! (i love leather!).
After that i going back to my college life while i work as an internship as videographer in some small company all by myself. the first salary is not quite much but i feel satisfied and proud of myself, i then reward myself to fine tuning my lovely watch.
I decided to change the leather to a bit of lighter brown colour, and..
it was Awesome!i bought VION leather strap from Italy for RM80 ( $24.5 ), the quality and durability is great, and more leathery than the original strap from edifice, fine stitches and until now i still had it in great condition, no crumples thanks to the crocodile patterned texture.
And a while later my girlfriend gave me a beautiful watch for my birthday!
It was the time when Daniel Wellington watches invading the Asian, and it was everywhere, Indonesia, Malaysia, instagram , from there i fall in love with NATO strap! (click link to see the definition), and i had a plan to buy some nato straps for my edifice, but i dont think it'll suit, i need some watches as simple as DW watches and thin. and finally she found me Alain Delon watches (paris) with NATO strap by Fossil..
it was majestic, i didnt expect it to suit it that well. and this guy become my favorite watch as its simplicity and the splash of color from the strap.
And on the next year i was thinking to add my watch collection with a bit higher budget, so i decide to look for a more durable watches (still) prefer a leather strap. then after some hunts across the island i decide to take this badass Nautica A22564G! , and what's more is that it comes with 2 changeable straps!
Complete with the "hook" to remove straps, this badass really fill my taste as i was looking for some durable badass watch for $198. With 100M water resistant it's a great waterproof watch, i test myself swim with this thing on my hand!
The main strap, is a black-hole-dotted leather strap with crocodile patterned quite thick and sturdy, look bad-asser!
-For the other 2 straps will update immediately -
So that's all my collection for now, and saving it more to add some even more badass and classy watches...:D
