Straps Unstrapped

I love this game sometimes, most times. I have flipped many watches, and met many cool collectors over the years. And a few subsequent non-watch-related businesses have been struck, pursuant to a simple watch sale at times.

Today was one of those days. I just met a pretty cool chap i.e. Mr Chin, whom was a Pam collector. Readers would know that I got a couple of pre-owned straps and bracelet, along with my pre-owned PAM0005 some time ago. I wasn't really a fan of the bracelet (pretty heavy paired to the watch), the vintage leather strap, and rubber strap that came with the watch. 




So I purchased a thick hornback strap from Zergun that was the right fit, by my reckoning, with the watch and was happy as bird.




Well, apparently Mr Chin had been looking for the particular style of bracelet that I had, came over to inspect and pick it up, and was a really cool chap. He's in the real estate business specialising in Mont Kiara; so if any readers had a need for a realtor in this part of town, drop me an e-mail and I'll link you up with this cool chap.

This watch hobby really does open up doors to meet many cool collectors in the scene!

    1. Yes, solid end-links and darn heavy of a bracelet. Not sure if you could get this locally. According to the buyer, it's rare to get this bracelet and rather costly too. I got this as part of a package with my pre-owned Pam previously.
