The Watch Thread - Part 8

[Henabi]

Finally took the plunge after all these months and got what I wanted!

Well it was bought (and tested) yesterday, but only today have I gotten around to the photos. Pardon if not that nice, because phone camera.

The packaging. Nondescript much, with only the box, a watch pillow and all the links I never used.



Instruction manual sits below, plus warranty card. Pretty generic instructions, covering most of the three-handed watch family.



The watch in question!



A bonus shot, from the bus ride home yesterday!



Did all the staying up a little past midnight to test the lume and date changeover, plus some playing with the bezel. All checked out fine.

As for the watch-buying process, will talk about it some time later. One thing I learnt, just be firm, and its okay to follow the heart!

Congrats!!! This is a very nice TH aquaracer.

I do agree that the watch buying process is a very fickle minded phase lolx

True, but only for the one buying, not the ones waiting!

The parents were like "eh, show a bit more decisiveness leh"

At the end of the day though, it just boiled down to "the one that was more sensible, but which did not really make me that excited" or the other way round. I am pleased to say the latter option won out.

You know you made the right choice when you walk out of the shop, look at it without any salesperson attention, and go "yes, that's it". Then repeat process every hour.

Yes, it's the cheapest, semi-luxury Swiss watch brand you can find. Their COSC certified models are the cheapest.
