The Watch Thread - Part 7

[soilwork]

Happy 2015! Sorry no Watch of The Day cause physically I am slightly drunk and mentally very tired.

I can say that this is the first year where I have earnestly hoped 2015 would be a better year, and that I have really wished for things to change for this year.

Spoiler

Over the night, we just drank and kept thrashing out all our problems, which all ran beneath the surface.

It was not so much about solving any of them, but just having a listening ear.

Between struggling with our identities, our abilities, a lack of people that could truly connect with us, and a sense of financial instability, not sure which was worse.

Things I learnt that night:

- Actually our problems are all similar in one way or another, not in the sense of being exact, but the context which made us worry.

- If I thought my problem was bad, hearing others would make you think they has it worse, and possibly vice versa for them. My problems may have sounded minor after theirs, but when I talked about them, they did not think it minor.

- Sometimes people really need a listening ear in their life, where they can really be themselves and express their frustrations, even more important as we are all at the age we don't tell our parents everything.

Probably one of the nights where my heart was the heaviest at all the things that me and my friends grappled with, as I shared a taxi with one of them (goodness, hailing a taxi at 3am is probably one of the worst things to do ever) and laid in bed back home.

I quote Yatto dai kor

小时候 快乐很简单
长大了 简单就很快乐

simple yet meaningful.

Good friends and family makes life easier to go by

If it's money then we just have to know what is want and what is need. Can afford then do it, cannot afford then either don't do it or work hard to achieve it.

Jiayou jiayou!!

Hey guys, need some advices please. So I just got a mido commander 80 from worldtime @ orchard central. A fine watch I must say until I noticed there is a slight dent on the minute hand which can be seen quite clearly through the reflection. Can I replace the hand with the warranty? If so, can I send it back to AD, or service center? Thanks alot, and happy new year!

Go to service center at harbourfront

The slight dent could be a dent to reduce parallax error wor

Best to have the model number you gonna get. Alot of variation for Datejust , rose gold with diamonds.

Can look at local AD for brand new.



personally i think this is nice. Datejust Lady 31 - Chocolate Roman Diamond - 178341 with Jubilee bracelet.

Thanks, I'll find some time to pay the service center a visit.

The thing is that I went to another boutique at bugis to check the same model again and they don't have the same dent as mine.
I tried to ignore it at first but it becomes slightly agitating after a while especially when there's light reflecting onto it, that certain area becomes much brighter than the rest.

This should be covered under warranty right? I am scared that I will get turned down, since i might have to take half day leave in order to go there
