Watch collector? Far cry from it...

We bought another watch. This time, it is a Rolex Explorer 1… opps, we spent $$ again.

We had always wanted to get a rolex… that day, while I’m lunching with my colleague, who is a watch collector, he mentioned that watch prices are going to go up in Jan or Feb 2008.. Related the news to dear and we decided to get our very 1st Rolex… a year ago, when KK bought his Rolex, it was abt 5 grand.. 1 year later, when we bought it, the price went up slightly… heard that the % increase is going to be huge this time round.. abt 20%.. so we thought we might as well grabbed it now…

Finally, after much thinking and finance calculating, we went down Orchard on 30th and visited Hour Glass… bought our very 1st Rolex… we took Explorer 1 cos it is quite classy.. and given the size, dear and I could wear it alternatively… loved our new watch a lot..

My colleague welcomed us to the watch collector group.. He defined anyone as watch collector when the number of watches you bought exceed the number of watches that you wear on your hand… of course, the watches do not include those common brand like Casio or Seiko… ha ha ha… But me and dear felt that we are still way behind pple… at least not yet….

Given the price increase now, dun think we’ll be spending on another watch… there are other priorities now.. =P and we are satisfied with our pair of Hublot and our shared Rolex…
