Do I really want what I want?

Monday, June 21st, 2010

Hm..
After a long while I’ve been inactive, I’m back!
Nothing much to say except, me and the 3 musketeers moved to a new place at Bendeemer, still working in Lion City and the place is pretty messed up right now. I’m living out of boxes and bags, like a bangla, sleeping in the living room and have to use my laptop on the bed for the lack of table.

Aside from that, I feel pretty okay considering I wasn’t the victim of the bedbug attack on the first night we moved in and pretty much had some itch here and there nothing major.

THE reason I wanna start writing is because the Euro is weak now compared to last year. And why the heck would the value of a currency affect a creation of a new blog post? Let me tell you!

As most of you probably know, I like watches ,a lot. Previously there are the Archimede Pilot Historic(No Logo) and Ball Arabic 40mm. And theres more BALL: Ball Fireman II, Ball Engineer Master2 Aviator, and etc. I present the new LIST! And at the top of it is a German watch, priced in Euro, hence it is now relatively cheaper to get it compared to last year! How awesome is that!

Stowa Antea Klein Sekunde

A dress watch with simple dial. Handwind movement, very thin at 6.8mm thick. It’s based on the classic design with Bauhaus influence. Stowa is a German brand and waiting list is about 2 months. I have my eyes set on this watch. As the Euro is currently quite weak, now is a pretty good time to buy the watch.

Clean face with blued steel hands. Understated and elegant…very class lah in other word..haha…

Here you can see the side profile of the watch which is pretty thin, suitable for a dress watch.
stowa KS b20

Shot of the movement(or engine) inside. It is a hand winding movement(that requires manually winding the watch to charge it up) therefore doesnt have a weighted rotor like an automatic watch.

Now mouth is watering and hand is itching already….Should I pull the trigger on this one.??!!

Want List

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

I want I want I want

Most probably will get this watch 1st. Very classic pilot watch.

Archimede Pilot Historic – no logo (~600usd)

newaim1

Then, I will aim this guy over here. I really like the blue glow with yellow hands. Those are tritium tubes that is self illuminated. It should keep glowing for about 25 years.

Ball Arabic 40mm (~1200usd)

newaim2

Should I save the money for the Ball, and skip the Pilot watch? Hmm..

Seems like a big step from a $100 watch(currently) to a $1000 watch. Decisions decisions..

Not forgetting my ultimate aim is to get a Rolex (still far away lah)

The long awaited..

..Panasonic GF1 is finally in my reach. Waited for quite awhile for this baby. My first ever “proper” camera, here comes pretty pictures. Now, who wants to be my model :D hehehe..

Here are some sample shots:

Liking it very much so far, the camera feels solid, the lens too. Speaking of lens, I got the dual lens option and using the f1.7 lens as my main lens. I’m very happy with it, its a fast lens and the shutter snap feels very satisfying. Might be quite loud to some tho.

I’ve never owned a ’systems’ camera, so its pretty exciting, good times ahead. :)
Now, about the model…the offer still stands..
