So we had our inaugural gathering which rather fun…the event schedule to start at 2, however by 2 only bit of us were around, the rest still struggling to find their way….Let us admit, yes the venue in term of location rather suck…it is really difficult to get in, however due to difficulty as well, we don’t have any problem with outsider joining the event. It was nice and easy and we don’t have to worry at all displaying our collections.
By 2.30 more and more people manage to find their way. At about that time, Bro Simon tries to show his collection to some of the attendee who been chit chatting with him, and that spark the chain of reaction. Followed next by our King of Seiko, the undisputed otai and old timer…Bro Luv start taking out his collection. And the crowd was like ooohhh…and aaahhhh when he finally show his 3 precious Grand Seiko…I mean to actually witnessing one is a great opportunity, here we are talking about 3 at once…and it seem finally everybody start running amok and displaying their watches all over the place….
After a while Bro Hassan & Radzi tried to control the situation that started to become chaotic, by re- arranging the table. We combine several table as one, and display all collection on it…It is about 2 and half meter long and the table was full with watches ….and everybody gathered around the table taking pictures , asking question and some even bargaining on watches they have interest with…
But due to earlier hiccup, I think we totally forgotten to actually record down numbers of watches attending. But my quick guess, it is more than 500 pieces on the table in which I would estimate worth around RM 250k at minimum and I won’t be surprised if the figure could fetch half million mark. That considering some really rare Rolex, Jaeger Le Coulture, and Grand Seiko would easily cost several cold hard Grand. Luckily we have registration form and I am sure later Bro Radzi will come up with statistic soon…
Some of the interesting collection that I come across with would be
a) Original Heur (before they become Tag Heur) – I mean how cool is that
b) Original Le Coulture – Also before they become the JLC…ice cool…
c) Grand Seiko….sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet
d) A watch in a glass sphere…odd yet unique
e) A watch from a Russian Jet fighter…at least about 100mm width…seriously….
f) Some of the rare Seiko & Citizen…
g) A very rare digital diver watch from Seiko, a NOS….seriously rare….like super seriously rare
h) Boy London…come on…don’t tell me you don’t fancy that those days…
i) Quite a number of cool vintage watches
j) A Samurai Titanium…now, let us be frank…I was in love with white Samurai before, I thought I really love white samurai, but actually my love is for the Titanium Samurai…I need to get it someday
All in , I think about 35 - 40 people attended the event and I think we are happy to conclude that it was indeed a good event…a success…and we should definitely organize another one next year, a bigger one….yes let’s do that
P/s - i dont put up too many picture here, take too much time uploading one by one here.....therefore the rest of the picture (sorry mod i have to do this) u can check it out at my blog....(again really sorry)
