"Watch" Out!


I think I am beginning to have a humble watch collection.

I've had several watches, all of which are very precious to me. My wife added a fantastic watch to that collection, this morning. Thats the one in the pic.

My first ever watch was a black TIMEX that I got in Sapna Plaza, Infantry Road, Bangalore. The watch cost my dad Rs 499 after a discount from 540.

The next one was a watch that I got when I exchanged one of my dad's watches with his brother. I got a HMT digital watch with a lot of features.

Then the one I flicked from my dad, a classic HMT, one in which you'll have to wind the spring up for it to work.

Then I got the best of them all so far, Casio dual dial (analog and digital), square golden dial. I had it for 9 years till I broke it when I banged my hand against a table after losing a point in table tennis. I didnt wear a watch for a year, as my punishment. I still have the dial (the link cog broke, rendering it unwearable again)

I replaced that with a Casio MDV 300 with a white dial. The heaviest watch I've got so far. I still wear that. I consider it my best buy, the king of my collection.

The next one is a Mexx. This I bought as a present from dad-in-law. Its the second square dial watch I've got. Leather strap, all black.

And then comes the prince of the collection. The Fossil Blue BQ9335. Its a wonderful piece, suits me to the T. I was a bit surprised with the perfection of my wife's selection, because I had a notion she wouldnt know.

Without intentionally doing so, I've developed a small collection for myself. Nice.
