Watch You, Watch Me

Hubby had been searching for a couple watch for the longest time but never found one that I like or suit me till recently. Also, we haven been actively looking for it till recently too lah. He'd sent his BALL watch for servicing and that will take 2 weeks to be done. Hence while the watch is at service, he got no other dress watch to wear. So, that spark off the 'urge' to look for a watch and hence a couple watch since we do not have such :p

After checking out a few watch shops at IMM, managed to find one that I quite like at CityChain.


But a few days later, the stripe of the digital watch that he wear to work for now broke. And after being prompted by a friend that Casio had a watch that is endorsed by Sebastian Vettel (one of his favourite F1 driver) set his heart tickling. We did an search for that watch and realised that it is a limited edition watch. We headed down to a Casio booth to check out the watch only to be told that because it is limited edition and hence it is sold out. Only the normal version of the watch is available.

A bit disappointed and since the price of the normal version is quite an average price for most of the other models, hubby decided to give it a thought before deciding on which watch to get. While walking around, we check out another watch shop just to be sure that the limited edition watch is out of stock. But I guess we got lucky. This watch shop guarantee that they will be able to get that watch for us. A bit skeptical in the beginning but we still went ahead to place a deposit since the sales person mentioned that it will be refunded back if it is not the watch we wanted.

We placed the order last night before and yesterday afternoon hubby received a call and was told the stock had arrived. We lost no time to go check out the watch. We headed down to the shop after hubby's work and BINGO ... it is really the limited edition one. This is the watch ...


In short, over a period of 1 week, my dear hubby gotten himself 2 new watches :p
