2 babes on the same day, one from Germany, one from Japan
« on: September 12, 2011, 03:31:17 PM »
I received 2 watches on the same day, unbelievable and what a coincident :o. In fact I bought the Japan babe first before I bought the German. I was saving my hard earn $$$ (sitting in the office daily) for my grail, but along the way, I need to ease my itch, so I decided to convince or find excuse for myself that I will get something less than RM1k while saving to ease the bug bite, surf a few site, finally found a guy, who gave a perfect excuses to get his very first Citizen Eco-Drive, here is the rational behind;

1) No need to wind the watch, need to grab and go, especially in a rush (make sense)
2) No need to replace battery, preferable the watch is always running and can last long (make sense)
3) No need to change the date, especially month without 31st or Feb with 29th (make sense)
4) Dual timezone, can use if go oversea, and when back home, no need to change the time (sound good to me) :laugh:
5) With alarm, so can use as alarm clock when travel (sound good too) :laugh:
 
So, he finally nailed down to Eco-Drive with perpetual calendar, he chose Skyhawk. I was looking at skyhawk too, but the Atomic sync is not available in Malaysia, then come Blue angel, but I already have Seamaster which is blue dial, bezel. So I look further, that is where I found this piece, cheaper and serve all the purpose.











I thought, yup, that's it, ordered it and wait for it to arrive, and that will ease the itch. But sometimes, God send. On the evening before I headed for vacation, was thinking of just left some comments in MWF before long gone. I clicked the sale section, a big mistake  :HammerHead: :HammerHead:, that is where I found another one "Damasko DC67". the almost identical piece I had handled from Danny during last GTG in Bangsa, Damasko has been in my wish list and DC67 fit just nice, what can I asked more, the rest become history, nego and seal the deal...  :'(









P/S : the Eco-drive really need time to figure out how to set the setting, that is why took me a while  :Laughing_on_floor:

Thanks for viewing and reading.. :Cheers:

Siodee, congrats on your catches.  :Cheers:
I'm also fishing the net, hoping to catch something cheap & nice to scratch my itch while saving up for my grails.
Could you pls PM me where you got the Citizen?
Take care, Ciao!  :thumbsup:
BTW, if you can get an Italian piece, you'll have a WWII Axis collection!  :Dancing_banana: :Jumping:

 :Laughing_on_floor: :Laughing_on_floor:  unless I have "God's hand"....but then I think getting 2 watches arrive at the same time are not so good after all, cause my German babe just quit on me
