I was busy away in my world..my watches, my love, my stuff
Went to HK over the weekend and was busy handing over my stuff from work. The line of business I work in is Shipping, but more often than not, I find myself in the take-it-up-the-arse business.
Anyways a few things happened and wanted show it.
I went to hong kong for a vacation with my family (its been awhile since I've travelled with them). It was a disaster but it did bring the 3 of us closer.
We started out in Zhuhai and Macau as well too. Whats impressive is that there is a cantonese restaurant in Zhuhai on a boat. The place is called de yue fang, the food is quite affordable and very tasty for the price compared to Singapore.
My companion for the entire trip is my trust Seiko Black Monster. For this trip, we will be walking alot, so I got some new crocs.
Ok fine, the poor in me couldn't allow a genuine croc leather, this here is a embossed one from Paros (I swear on many things that at the time of writing this post, I still am not affiliated to Paros in anyway)
I got this from old Mr Goh for $10 a piece. I got the 24mm and notch of the corners to fit a 20mm, results = great success!!
I didn't have time to let the strap get worn it or what, I just changed it out, punched a hole and left the country with it. Something I do not usually do as I'm anal towards minor sharp edges of the straps. Even the smallest prick must be snipped of, usually with nail clippers.
Thankfully, the strap was a comfort to wear and the thickness is just nice to allow the watch to grip on without being too tight and allows breathing of the wrists, hardly have to take it out to cool off once in awhile.
Up next, went to Hong Kong, blah blah, this is not a travel blog, but there are a few notable pictures captured that is a keeper.

This watch is great for travels as it is big, tough and all. Yet it isn't to flashy like a rolex/panerai. The lume is seriously helpful in dark places. Wish there was a watch that has the same features of this monster here except changes to the looks.
- Lumi-brite/C3 grade lume applied even on the second hand
- Lume dot on bezel if not full lumed bezel
- Day/date
- Automatic workhorse movements preferred, although quartz is fine
- Thick, tall, hefty
