Good to meet for the first time Jacky  :Cheers:
Congrats on the new watch bro  :Dancing_banana:, will be waiting for your review later hehe...
Gigi managed to join us also, didnt know he was coming.

We had a great time at the AD in Bangsar Village checking new offerings from Ball and Oris as well.

Later had lunch nearby.

Pics will have to wait til Mon as i dont have bluetooth connection on my home pc.

I still find it hard to believe the other dial is "green" instead of light blue. :-\
Maybe Scott can chime in?
I believe he nearly bought the "light blue" / "green" as told by the AD?

hey guys..... thank you all for accompany me to get my first BOLA... really love this watch....i like the robust feel on my hand... haha..Honestly this is the most that I have spent on a watch without "fondling" it first.. This being my first Ball, I'm very impressed and would consider purchasing one again in the future! .... once again thank you CK, Peter, David, Abel(spelling correct?) and Frank... cheers :Cheers:

The FC open heart with ETA movt, nicely decorated movt


The in house movt manual wind which i am drooling over....but is almost 2.5x the price of the eta




During lunch a few watches of our members on my wrist.

Peter - thanks for the pics. Both FC looks good on your wrist. Nice dress watch
Abel - you set your Fortis time too advance. You waste no time checking out the airking. That's your next target?
Ck - Laco value for money, very good finishing
Jacky - Nice to meet up with new member, Your Ball's a good buy.

All in all, we had a jolly good time. Thank you to all for the accompany

@ DC & Scott = My house time is set for 15 faster than the other people. I dunno why my parent do that  ???

@ DC on air king = Ya since i was at that lolex AD i just drop by have a look at it even the person i knew was not there  :-[. I prefer it over explorer as it is very small therefore it fit me better not to mention a little more discreet unlike my "too big for me" Fortis  ;D

@ CK = actually I really like the Laco too  :thumbsup: too bad the strap cant fit me for obvious reasons  :'(

Peter - The more I look at the FC open heart with ETA movt, nicely decorated movt - I sort of like it. What is the list? A nice dress watch in IMO.

Ya man, The car spot lights is hurting my eyes too. Wanted to voice that out but out of respect for individual rights
What say you? - Abel.
