Henabi Bro, your description of the watch buying exp is one of the reason why I stalk this thread. I am not good in expressing myself in words. Hence I don't want to talk much.

Can really feel that you enjoy and like your watch. It's a wonderful feeling eh..

Thanks crapman bro ^.^ just pen down your feeling about your first watch hoot and the rest will flow

dont need much flowery words. Just true feelings will do hope to read your first watch hoot soon!

my wife has this really hot cousin whom she looks up a lot to. smart, gorgeous, and joined SQ right after A levels (that time SQ girls were super hot). Then went on to be an auditor or something but now an SAHM. If you ask me, she's still really hot.

This cousin wore an omega constellation (was it cindy crawford as the ad girl?) during her flying days, so naturally it was the grail watch of my wife ever since she was in sec sch. my first paycheck went to my parents, of course, but my first salary as a confirmed staff was to buy the missus (already ROM then) her long-awaited omega. I knew nuts about watches so just went to tampines century square with my cousin, looked for a shop that has omega, and decided on one (regret not getting the one with diamonds). Half gold with MOP dial. Quartz.

that evening after dinner I gave her the watch. she was shocked because it was a huge sum for us but she was so touched she hugged me and cried non-stop. It was like a dream fulfilled for her

(needless to say, it was an sexpensive present )

then when her mum heard about it (the watch, not the sex), she viewed the watch and said something I will never forget - "why no diamonds? should have bought one with diamonds!"
I was quite pissed - who wouldn't? But I turned it around and made it my driving force......and the rest is history.

so that was my first ever luxury watch purchase. not for myself, but for my wife whom been through thick and thin with me

for my own watch....was looking at montblanc.....then suddenly saw the maurice lacroix skeleton in the display cabinet next to montblanc, at cortina millenia walk. have always liked skeleton watches so it was THE watch for me. bargained with the new sales staff back then whom, like myself, was also a newbie at work. Bargained till the shop closed and he relented. he would be my usual cortina sales guy from then on.....and now he's a manager.....

that watch was purchased with my first bonus in dec 2004.

also had my eyes on the corum bubble skeleton (which i later bought and sold), and the chronoswiss opus (which i had a few chances to buy but..... not so keen anymore). then started to like azimuth. then rolex. then come here kena jialat jialat thanks to you guys (sarcasm*). LOL

on a sidenote......really enjoying this thread. really learnt a lot from here. thanks guys (not sarcasm*).

Great story... even greater to know your first luxury watch was for missus.

My first luxury bag and wallet weren't for myself...was for my missus ^.^

Haha my first automatic watch hoot is quite fast. Bought the Sinn EZM-3 using the UOB promotion. More of a impulse buy because it is value for money. So there is nothing to write about. lolz

I guess alot of our first real big ticket luxury item is for our wife or girlfriend. Mine too, one LV bag which cost around 3.8k for my wife.
