In-coming : Seiko Tuna(s)

I received quite a few queries as to what watches were in-coming to my collection. Well, I had wanted to only do the reviews when the watches arrived in due course; but since there were so much interests, then we might as well just sneak a peek.

I would be hosting a family friend to our place around Christmas, and she has actually been to Malaysia a couple of times and we always played hosts to her. Well, this year, she decided that she was going to come bearing gifts and knowing that I liked watches, she was recommended by another fellow friend to get a his-and-hers Seiko Scallop Tuna in Blue & Red. She searched online and found that the retail prices in UK was £499 each; but at some sites, she could get a whole lot cheaper due to the low Malaysian currency in the interim period.

She informed us after she had made the purchases, and I guess it was too late to inform her that I already had a Blue Tuna actually. Oh well, might as well just go with it... although we would need to find her an even more deserving gift too given the value of her gifts.

Hmmm, what better gift than to play matchmaker, eh? Any stable and handsome guys interested in a BBC professional lady in her 30's could apply herein. Be warned though that the filtering process would be tedious as her previous boyfriends were reportedly unable to succumb to her demands in bed. Yup, she's quite frank in that aspect.

And my better half had found me googling on the updated Emperor Tuna once too often (make that, daily); so she has put her foot down that I might as well just choose 1 of them for an up-coming gift. I informed her that I would rather keep the spare cash around given the way the the economy was doing these days, plus my winder was full anyway.

So she went ahead and got a new 2-watch winder, and she told me that we could utilise some of the funds from Alex's recent advertisements' modelling fees (yes, my boy was spotted by some casting agencies and had shot a few television advertisements, and further been selected for some calendar spots although we were still undecided if we wanted to go for the prints- you could say that I was a real proud Daddy for my boy!). My boy, young as he was, told me that I was always buying gifts for them and not for myself; and that he wanted to get me a gift too. Those words were gift enough for me actually, tears notwithstanding.

So, if you were to choose between the 2 following watches, which one would you go for? I am pretty much gaming for Ocean Gold at this point.

Oh well, might as well take the time during this holiday (yup, taking the family to the East Coast for some quality time) to think on which one would the mouse be clicking on. Hmmm...

Sold : 2013 Tudor Pelagos full boxed set and more

With in-coming watches to reach our shores soon, am letting go one of my fave watches i.e. the toolish (Titanium Grade 5) and handsome Tudor Pelagos, to make way for the slots in the winder. Those whom know me know that I tend to baby my watches, and this piece was no different. In good condition and worn in rotation with my other pieces. Lume is spectacular as the Pelagos was known for.

Comes in full boxed set with inner and outer sleeves, warranty card, manual, the avantgarde Tudor titanium bracelet, the comfortable Tudor rubber strap, and the elusive Tudor Nato strap (this being a bonus as it was for the Heritage series). Yes, 3 straps in total! Preferably COD at Mont Kiara, or could be verified at RSC at the buyer's cost. Letting go fast at RM11k. Thanks for your interest.
